Default Anyone running a q-series quadratec winch?

I'm in college and am still trying to do some wheeling. I want a winch but cannot afford a warn winch at all, does anyone have a quadratec winch and if so how is it? I was looking at the 9500 with the integrated solenoid.

I have the same one you are looking at and it works. It seems kinda slow but it's the only winch I have ever had so I don't know what's fast or slow. I have used it about 5 times now and haven't had a problem. Great value for the price.

Would u recommend it? Or should I go with another brand? One of the main reasons I'm leaning towards it is because if the warranty statistics online.

I would get it again. Like I said I haven't had a problem with mine. But I don't use it every weekend. I use it when I need it and it's been there and got me or my buddies out.

I'm running the Q11000 in my JK, zero issues with it. Works great, pulls strong and has never let me down.

Would anyone be nice enough to post a video? I had the Engo before on my xj, and it was Ok. I didn't like the way it sounded though.

The Qtec winches on paper, seem too good to be true, as far as the line speed, and current draw. I'm thinking of buying the 9500is.

There are a TON of winches to choose from. I've been researching for a few weeks, and sooo many have so many similarities, I'm convinced many are from a group of 3 or 4 different designs. Haven't pulled the trigger on the Q winch yet, because not enough "real world" reviews yet.

Thanks
