The 5 Best Power Cord rollers (2023 reviews)

Not everyone likes to purchase roller for their regular usage, but the masterplug power cord roller would be an anomoly. The extension cord has four safety shuttered power outlets which allow you to use your power tools safely. They call it a built-in overload surge protector. It works well and is compact relative to the features it packs. The cable would come out of the little guide, when reeling, but the convenience of having the cord reeled is worth the extra effort. The cord is coiled up, it is not easy for heat to escape and the heat builds up after a while and it can even melt the insulation and then maybe the bare wires touch each other and can catch on fire.

It is great for long electrical extension cords.

Why We Like This:

Fairly light weight and relatively compact size
Very good quality and easy to setup and use
Lot of satisfied buyers

Best For day hike: Bayco Power Cord roller

Buy on Amazon

The bayco power cord roller is capable of outshining several other roller featured in this list in overall features for the price point. This is very handy for outdoor extension cords, keeping them from tangling and being a total mess next time you wish to use them. It holds 100 feet of 16/3 wire just fine. Plug capture holes allow you to store the outlet end of your extension cord for ease of access. It works with the lighter duty extension cards as well.

The center spin feature makes it easy to reel up a cord. It will not hold 100 feet of 12 gauge electrical cord. It fulfills its basic purpose.

Speeds up cable pickup and layout and stores is small space
Handy to keep a cord coiled up and stored with out knots

Easy to use and simple design

Best With stand: Woods Power Cord roller

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other roller in this category, the woods power cord roller has a convenient design. This reel sits in the middle, not at one end. It winds up and holds the cord. It lacks a 'hole' or entry way to snake the male cord end thru the axis and out of the wheel so you can wind and unwind the cord without struggling so. That one winding is all it takes, and from there you simply pull the cord out you need to use and turn the handle to quickly and easily retract it back around the wheel.

The good part is the wheel spool lasts for many, many years and is easy to use after the initial setup. There is no hole in the center to simply put your prong cord end through so you don't have to double-up your cord by folding it over or completely unwind the entire lot. It's not very thick plastic and tips easily. This is perfect for keeping your work space clean.

Why We Like This:

Helps to organize that busy shed or tool closet
Simple and does the job quite well
Really helps organize a long cord and makes use much easier
Works quite well, rather light weight though

Best For Cable management: Suraielec Cord Reel

Buy on Amazon

Best part: suraielec cord reel costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. It takes the power to where you need to work. It works well and is lightweight, so it serves it's purpose well. It is fine with low gauge or shorter wiring, not good for higher gauge or longer as it is quite flimsy and does not provide a stable base.

The reel has a plug on the inside that powers the other cords from tangling, great storage as well. It is good for higher gauge or longer as it is quite flimsy and does not provide a stable base. This is great for keeping your long extension cords well sorted out.

Why We Like This:

Has a tendency to be hard to spin
Works with 100ft, contractor grade, 12/3 extension cord
Unwinds and rewinds easily and evenly

Best For van: Suraielec Power Cord roller

Buy on Amazon

The suraielec power cord roller's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This is a fairly basic plastic reel, it is exactly what they say it is. It holds up to 100 feet of 16/3, 14/3 or 75 feet of 12/3 gauge power cord. Its Stable steel metal base, easy-grip handle, and user-friendly side-mounted hand crank knob allows you to quickly wind and unwind cords. It will allow you to fix the cord reel while using.

The multifunctional cable management clip not only helps to reel the cord smoothly but also lock the cord at the needed length. The wall mounting plate just provides another way to store and place the cord reel.
