Solid hose reel, but the older model was better. July 7, 2006

This was my 2nd Rapid Reel. I had ordered this expecting it to be the same as my old one but it was a newer model. I was somewhat disapointed that this newer model was $30 more than the older one and when it arrived seemed more cheaply made. The new one is Aluminum versus steel in the older model. It also required a lot more assembly. In some ways it's better than the old model (lighter, aluminum won't rust) but at the same time the handle seems more rickety because it's not a single piece like the old model and tends to flex where the two pieces connect. The short hose that connects to the reel also seems like a generic 5/8" inch when the older model came with a 3/4" Goodyear hose. All and all it's a solid hose reel and way better than anything plastic, but I think I would have been happier with another one of the older models at $99 instead of this newer model at $129.

I purchased this product on June 11, 2006. Despite repeated calls to the company, I cannot use this product because they haven't shipped me several pieces necessary to complete it's construction!

OK, so this reel is expensive and has plastic parts. It also has a 10-year warranty and a company that stands behind the product and has spare parts available. I bought this reel to replace a $130 Home Depot reel that failed after two years of use and could not be repaired because HD no longer stocks this Chinese-made reel. The Rapid Reel does require assembly, but the instructions are very good with every step clearly illustrated. Usually when assembling something like this I am running to the garage every two minutes to get another tool, but the Rapid Reel really does take only a Phillips head screw driver to assemble. It also works great - easy unwind and easy rewind. If you use a hose reel every day like I do, you own it to yourself to buy this reel.

Like many others I have had it with the plastic hose reels. I decided to spend the money and get the best.
while this is supperior to the plastic reels it is not great. a 100' 3/4" hose is putting this to the test. The product was easy to put together but the performance is not the best. They should include some helfull advise with the purchase ( like do not use a 3/4 " hose on this ree)
I would have like a more heavy duty unit.

I was worried before I buy this because of soso reviews. But since I don 't have an option to install a gaden hose reel on the wall, this reel seemed be the only one option I found for a heavier duty free standing hose reel. I have a good year 100ft hose and it works really well with it. I'm not experienced hose reel user, and I used cheap hose plastic reel once in the past and it was so horrible I stopped using hose reel for years. But I got tired of the 100ft hose spreading all over the yard and I kept tripping over it. I'm petite women without much knowlege of outside iquipments stuff, and yes there were many parts to build this reel, but I had no trouble assembling the reel. I feel this reel is so great, may be because I did not have good water hose reel experience in my past. But still, I must give 5 stars just because it made my life so much easier.
