A nice winder with some minor issues
Pros:1) Nice fit and finish2) Very quiet (I don't understand the noisy comment made here)3) The holders are nicely sprung and hold even my heaviest watches without even a hint of movement.4) Good range of turn per day and direction options.5) Priced well for what you're getting.Cons:1) Mine came incorrectly wired. The bottom left winder was No 1, when the LCD clearly shows top left as 1. bottom right was 2, top left 3 and so on. All totally wrong. Nothing 10 minutes and a soldering iron can't fix, but why am I fixing incorrect wiring straight out of the box? Where is the quality control?2) The latch to close it is impossible to grip to open it. There is no lock (not a big deal) but when it's closed you need long fingernails just to get a grip on it. That is the next thing I'll be rectifying.3) It doesn't store your settings if there is power loss (eg. you wife unplugs it to plug in hair drying/straightening/modifying equipment). This will be modification number 3 for mine, a battery pack should solve the issue.4) There aren't individual "on-off" switches for each slot (eg. like the Wolf winders) which means if the slot you want is active, you need to spend a bit of time digging through the LCD controls to turn it off (not a major issue - just a minor annoyance).And lastly to correct the answers to my questions posted, it is dual voltage, I received a 110-240V power plug. The unit itself takes 3V 1.2a input and has a standard 2.1 X 5.5mm centre positive female socket. You can buy 2.1 X 5.5mm male to female extension cords on Amazon so you can move the unit further away from a power source (the included cord is pretty short) or if you want to install it in a safe or strong box.I was going to dock a star for the wiring issue noted above as that really isn't good enough for the unit to be incorrectly wired, but I think I'm being a little harsh. It still works and although an annoyance, most people would have just used it as it was. Just be aware that quality control may be an issue with these things.

I don't usually write reviews on products but thought this may help someone trying to make a decision. The winder has a good overall front access design with a nice cabinet size that is small enough to fit in compact spaces. There is two different sized rubber spacers that mount to the cuff to fit different wrist sizes, medium, and large. The watches are held in place by a cuff with a spring tension to keep the watch band tight. I felt the tension springs were a little strong so i went to my local Orchard Supply Hardware and bought some lighter tension springs for a few dollars. I was surprised on how quiet the winder is while running. Have been using the winder for the last 3 months and has doing a good job so far. Wish it had a battery back up option, but without spending twice the amount of money, it is hard to find a better winder.

Outstanding Watch Winder!
The item is exactly as shown and hold four watches which it can wind independently. Using the winder is fairly easy and self-explanatory even though it does come with a manual. The wood finish is beautiful (mine is a dark wood finished under a coat of high gloss epoxy). Here is a bit of useful information I can share with you: set the number of "winds per day" to 1200 or higher. Of course none of my watches came with instructions that would help me in using a watch winder, so I had to experiment. Of course I was terrified of over-winding my watches so I started out on the lowest settings. Needless to say, after a day or two they all wound down. So after a good bit of trial and error I now use 1200 windings on all of my watches.My only complaint, and its a small one, is that if the winder loses power it does not automatically start again. So, if you're like me and your house loses power once in a while, remember to re-program the watch winder. Overall I am extremely satisfied and give the venfor and the product a 5 star rating.

Looks good and does the job
It looks nice. It does make a noise so I would not have it in a bedroom. I have had it two weeks and it seems to work fine. It is intuitive and easy to set up, and it does the job. The latch on mine is loose so you have to handle it with care. I suspect that in time it will fall off so it is kind of rubbish. Keep in mind that if you have a power failure it resets and you have to reprogram each section again. I did not realize this so the watches all stopped after the power went out.

Super Watch Winder
The watch winder was a present to my husband. It works really well and looks great. My husband was super happy to have it as it was something he'd never buy for himself. The reason I gave it 4 stars over 5 is the noise it creates when it is actually winding. If you are a heavy sleeper the noise will be no problem for you; I'm obviously not a heavy sleeper, and the machine sits across our room.

A bit noisy
The winder's greatest strengths are that it is attractive and does the job. It's biggest drawback is that it is noisy when operating. If you are sensitive about noises when you sleep then you would probably not want it near your bed. While this is not an issue for me it could be for others.

The furniture is very nice. The winders are a little noisy but work fine. The only issue is all the settings are erased with power interruption. Each time you lose power you have to re-enter each watch's settings.

Not a quality winder!
Worked great when purchased but now makes loud clicking sounds when watches are turning. Hard to sleep at night when all you hear is click, click , click, click! My Wolf still works great!
