Cons

• Bulky for Portability: A few users noted that the 7-meter length, while convenient for reach, can make it less compact and harder to store neatly in smaller EV trunks.
• No Carrying Case Included: Some feedback highlights the lack of a storage bag or reel, which would help in transport and organization.
• Limited Color Options: A minor aesthetic note—customers mention there’s only one design or color, which might not appeal to users who prefer customization.
• Single Model Description: Some users would like to see more clarity or comparison with other Mennekes models to better understand which suits their EV best.
