My M8000-S I bought here on Amazon is in reference to this review. And it has been perfect. And I've used it a few times for vehicle extraction. It's kind of an old school winch and that makes it shine the brightest. Simple, basic, capable.
I currently have 4 Warn winches of various sizes on various vehicles thst I own. And I have used them all. And everytime, I've had zero failures.
But you might need something less.
Warn makes a quality winch. There are so many winch manufacturers these days it's hard to decide which one to buy based on your budget and how much you'll use it. If you think you may be in a life or death situation, you should buy as much quality as you can afford. That way one could then never say; That they didn't try their best to protect themselves or their family and get the best solution to being stuck in the middle of nowhere situation.
However; if you're playing around at the local OHV park and AAA will pull you out in a pinch. Buy a cheap winch and count your savings.
Bottom line: Warn is quality. If you or your loved one's life depends on it. You probably can't find anything better than Warn.
If you're just playing around. Buy a playing around winch from those other guys.
The VR series are the Chinese-made Warns we all knew would one day become a reality. The M series are currently still 100% made in the US, though. The main differences (to me) are the higher quality of the controller and the use of the contactor box over the solenoid of the VR series. The VR is a good enough winch for a low cost, foreign one. The M8000 is the real deal, though. It will work when you need it to. It will last. It pulls like a goat, too.
Keep in mind that if you have never owned a winch - this one is about 85 pounds. You will need a winch bumper or a winch mounting plate. Your stock alternator and battery (minimum of 665 CCA) will work fine, but you can always upgrade the system as you learn what you need and want. Setup is pretty straightforward.
I do not want synthetic line. I am not sold on it at all right now. And it adds like $300 to your expenses. The tried and true steel cable on this will suit my needs perfectly.
The price of this when *I* bought is was only $110 more than the Chinese Warn VR8000. Just spend the extra hundred and get the real thing. This is some solid gear and a great upgrade for any open topped Jeep 4x4!
Packaging is awesome, everything arrived safely in its intended place, I had no problems with unpacking and understanding the hook up instructions. I intended to mount my solenoid under the hood, but for the first night I used the supplied bracket. My only gripe is with this darn bracket. It was a real pain to jam all the wires where they needed to be and use this bracket. Needless to say, my 'box is now under the hood where it should be, and the bracket is in the trash like it should be!
After installation I removed the supplied steel cable and spooled on 100" of synthetic AmSteel blue winch line. At only 8lbs and more durable than steel cable I felt it was a good upgrade. I still carry my steel cable on long wheeling trips as a spare (Just incase!) Although it was incredibly expensive, it is highly recommended. I have used this winch for about 5 pulls, and a few utility jobs and I must say I am very glad I held out for the best. Packaging, quality of materials, durability are all something we need when off road. Don't trust your family, or your rig to anything else. In this category reputation and experience is key. Warn delivers once again.

Don’t confuse this M8000lbs winch with warns VR series 8000lb winches. The VR series are made in China.
The M Series are made in the USA and is feature higher quality materials and finish.
Used this winch many times over the last 5years. Never had a problem. It’s powerful and quick.
Update Dec 2023. Winch is still working perfectly.
