Default Engo winches

Anybody have anything to say about engo winches besides warn is better. I've been researching winches for a while and for the value line brands it seems like one of the better ones out there...I'm looking at the 9000 with synthetic rope for only like $400. I would love to hear from anyone with first hand experience, thanks

JP magazine did a shootout with an bunch of winches. Engo winches did a good job. I have read many threads with people that have them and they seem to like them.

I've got the 10000 with synthetic. It's a great winch and looks really sharp too.

They seemed to have the best reviews of the value priced winches. If it warns up a bit, I will be installing my E10,000 during the kids nap time. Can't beat a 10k for $309 to your front door (jeepaddons).

I ordered the 9000 synthetic for 404 shipped to my door from jeepaddons too, my only problem is how long it takes to get stuff from them...ordered 4 things on Monday have only received my receiver shackle, bumper didn't even ship until Friday, no fog lights yet and now I ordered the winch but they did have the best prices so not too much complaining. Did it come with the snatch block, if so that's pretty cool but guess I bought one for nothing lol...is that like a fake carbon fiber look, on the website it just looked black but I like it

Ordered 2/13
Shipped 2/16
Delivered 2/20

Not bad considering it came from Washington.

I added the snatch block. I'd prefer the finish to be black but I much prefer the carbon look to the gray.
