Pros
- Pulls a full 10,000 lb load at about 7 ft/min, among the quickest at this size
- Wireless remote included, so you can watch the rope from a safe angle
- IP68 sealing for water crossings and pressure washing
- Often sells well under its list price on Amazon
Cons
- Heavy for a synthetic rope winch at about 76 lb
- Electrical warranty is five years, shorter than WARN or Superwinch
- Draws close to 390 A at full load, so it wants a strong battery and alternator
