For the second time in four years I have bought this Brennenstuhl Garden cable reel. The drum was used every two to three weeks in summer to operate the lawn mower, the first time was broken, the cable just behind the plug after two years, sparking dangerous. With the second drum, which was then obtained as a replacement, almost the same after one and a half years. And, although attention was paid to cable strain relief and it was hung in accordance with the lawnmower. In addition, the short cable to the socket always twisted, because the inner part in reeling not rotate, as already criticized by other reviewers. That is "only" a nuisance but now the role is no longer to use, yes. The cause of the error: It lacks an electrically-obligatory cable sheath reinforcement at the top, always the most stressed area of the transition from the connector to the cable. Aside seem surprising to age and become brittle, which is not the case for electronic goods, to the materials used. "IP44" means the way: Only splashproof - an extension cord for "outside" - because that suggests yes, the product name "Garden cable reel" - that's a joke! In case of rain or too little wetting by sprinklers this drum is not secure and may not be used under these conditions. That's Betrufg customer. Why offer something like Amazon to then? This is neither a coincidence nor a sign "improper operation", but simply scrap, hazardous waste even. A star, as there is not zero star after all. Stay away, because it profit you nothing afterwards, when you can make the manufacturer for an electrical accident due to incorrect product declaration liable.
