Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally, a hose reel that won't fall apart!
We have purchased several plastic hose reels that don't last and don't work very well. The rapid reel is metal and comes with a secure anchoring system and clear instructions for installing it. My husband was very impressed. We can pull our 100' hose all the way out and then roll it up easily. It was expensive, but well worth the money.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - rapid reel
This item is good & sturdy, it should hold up well under Gulf coast conditions...it survived Ike!! The negative: this reel doesn't hold the length of hose as specified though (maybe 125', but definitely not 150').



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great unit, hard to mount
Once installed it's solid and far superior the the plastic models I used before. One issue: following the instructions you have to work around the hose reel to tighten the mounting bolts on the right hand side. I'd suggest modifying the instructions so that you feed the hose in, tighten all bolts and THEN finish assembly.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A top-quality product
This hose reel is a top quality product that is obviously designed to last. The included hose leader is plenty long enough. Instructions were complete and easy to follow. Although designed for 5/8" hose, I have 3/4" rubber hose on it now. The only issue with that is the product includes a kink-free spring for only a 5/8" hose.

Best product that I have purchased in a long time. Plus made in the good old USA.
