The 600 Series includes a retractable cord that winds fully into the canister to cut down on cord clutter, and while its spring feels stronger than on the 200 Series the rewind is still slow, requires holding the pedal, and works best when the cord is pulled completely out first, so cord management feels more fussy than on many competitors.
