Customer Reviews for Sunbeam 50-Hook Battery Operated Tie and Belt Rotating Rack

IF you have the right size closet rod, this would be really great. My closet rod is 1" diameter and it is too small to fit snugly with this rotating rack. This comes with a screw that will adjust to what size rod you have, but evidently 1" is too small. The maximum size it will accommodate is 1-3/8". It is very easy to install on the rod. The batteries are very easy to install. The operation buttons are very easy to use, and the light is a great touch. If your rod is less than 1" or less in diameter, this may not be worth your time or money. This product is made in China.

I got this organizer to help me find the neckties and belts I had hanging from clothes hangers or rolled up in a drawer. This is the first time I’ve used such a device, and I feel a bit spoiled. I love the compact storage that this neat little device provides, and the convenience of having your assortment of accessories roll by before your eyes. It eliminates parsing through your clothes or drawers to find things. It was super easy to install, just add 4 “C” batteries, place the rack under your closet rod, slide a top support cover onto the rack body to attach it to the closet rod, and secure a locking knob by hand. No tools are needed, and installation and operation were so intuitive I didn’t even need to read the instructions. Easy-peasy. Three-buttons operate the rack, one for rotation to the left, one for rotation to the right, and another to stop rotation. Three bright LED lights located just under the cover illuminate the items circulating under the front of the rack for easy identification. There are enough hooks to accommodate a lot of ties, as well as two stationary hooks under the rack for holding longer belts and the like. I had no difficulty fitting even wider ties onto the hooks. Rotation at 8 seconds per full rotation is rapid and the LED light stays lit for about 20 seconds after rotation has ceased. This is a convenient, space saving closet accessory that I would recommend to a friend, and I think it would make a nice Fathers’ Day gift too.

What a clever idea Sunbeam has come up with in this sb50 motorized tie/belt rack. This unit takes four “C” batteries unfortunately not included in purchase. The design is clever and installation a cinch. Once mounted on a round closet rod and locked in by a thumb screw on the bottom this unit is ready to load up with up to 50 ties or belts. Operation is simple hit the left or right button on front and stop button when you see your selected item. There is also a LED light on front so you can see the ties etc as they come around which also stays on for 10 seconds after you hit stop. Very clever and convenient.

Very nice and handy. However, for women's belts you need toimprovise as some of our buckles are too large for the hangers.

This really helps to keep all of my ties and belts neat and organized. Additionally they now are easy to sort through and access! The rack also has an LED light for when I don't want to turn on the walk in closet light and wake up my wife. Since the rack is battery operated, you will need 4C batteries in order to use. Other than that there is no installation which is great!

Nice quality and Brackett strength

I love this Tie rack. I have two other tie rack at home, but this holds more ties and it turns faster than other units. I guess this unit has stronger and better motor. Anyway faster movement certainly helps to look around the ties. Also, this has brighter lights. It helps alot in darker closet. It has plastic body which feels little cheaply made but not problem using it. It comes with belt hook but it looks little flimsy. I wish it was built with better material, but still whole alot better than my old unit.

When I ordered this I was thinking re-gift! But after trying it out and seeing how well it performed and how little space it took up in my closet I am keeping it. It was easy to install as long as you have a closet pole and it is a standard size. It was a bit loud when it rotated but after a few times it started to smooth out and be more quite. It is a great unit for people who don't like trying to find a available hook or hanger for your belts or tie.

The rack is really easy to install. It hooks horizontally in the middle and will fit any clothing bar. It does not take up but about 8 inches of space. Operating on 4 "C" batteries (that are not included) it works smoothly and will support the weight of ties and you can hang belts on it too. The LED lights work so well I can use it in my dark closet. Just push a button and it will rotate left or right. A perfect gift for any man.

What a cool little tie rack! The only negative thing I have to say about this is that I had to go drive to get C batteries. Installation was beyond simple and went from box to installed in less than a minute. All of my ties and belts are now organized and easy to access. The light on the front makes it even easier to see what you looking for. Would make a great Father’s Day gift for a Dad thank likes little gadgets.

This Sunbeam branded tie and belt rack is compact and was easy to install on my heavy duty chrome closet clothes rod. Just a note: One step in the mounting instructions is flat out wrong. It says to remove screws to loosen a clamp inside the unit. Problem is there are no screws to loosen. Despite the sloppy directions, the mounting is obvious, easy, and quick. The body of the rack itself is all plastic as are the arms on which to hang the ties and belts. There are 3 buttons mounted on the front: forward, reverse, and stop. There are also 4 LEDS mounted under the front edge. While adequate, I felt they could have been brighter. It does operate as advertised and doesn’t take up too much room on the clothes rod. Pressing either the forward or reverse button turns on the LEDs and makes the ties roll by for 20 seconds and then stop. You can also stop the rotation at any time by pressing the stop button. All in all I like the product. I do have a couple of concerns. It appears to me that the entire unit will have to be removed to change the 4 C-cell batteries. While that is quick and easy to do I don’t know if a lot of ties will wind up on the floor. Secondly, the plastic arms that hold the ties are fairly thin plastic. They are made of a flexible not rigid plastic so perhaps that is nothing to worry about. Only time will reveal the arms and the whole rack’s durability. I tried to hang several belts by their buckles and I found that I had to use 2 hooks, not 1, per belt otherwise the belts did not hang properly. I think I’ll just hang my belts back on the door rack. Overall, this rack performs as I expected. It keeps my many ties neat and doesn’t take up too much space doing so. It makes it easy and fast to view and ultimately choose my tie for the day. Time will be needed to assess its overall durability, the durability of the tie arms, and battery life. If you are looking for one of these battery operated tie racks I would give this one a shot for ties but not so much for belts.

Pretty good and does the trick. Definitely helps organize your ties/belts into a neater space. Probably could be used for scarves too but note sure. This takes 4 C batteries which aren't included so that's kind of irritating. Who uses C batteries anymore? Anyhoo, this thing works great for me as I have quite a few ties that just sit on my dresser or hung on various location in my bedroom. It's pretty universal in its fit since there is a fastening screw on the bottom of the unit so it should fit any normal diameter closet rod that's out there. Also, it's pretty well balanced too so you won't have to worry about this thing getting lopsided or anything. My main issue with this is that, in order to install it, you have to remove the closet rod and then slide this thing on to it. For people with more modern closets, this might not be an issue but for those that have old closet rods with the pole sockets painted over and such, this can be a bit difficult. Other then that, this is nice and isn't too cheap looking like some of the other racks out there.
