Customer Reviews

Garden hose reel
I purchased one of these reels in early May 2008 because the plastic hose reel I had for 2 years was falling apart and was difficult to use. Over the years I have replaced my plastic hose reels every 2-3 years because the plastic breaks down in the sun and cranking the reel gets harder and harder. When I received the first Rapid Reel I was surprised to see that almost every part was made of metal and was very nicely manufactured. The assembly was easy and very straight forward. I was skeptical at first that reeling in the house would be any easier than with the old plastic reel --- boy was I surprised. This thing is smooth, efficient and sturdy, I can reel in 150 feet of hose with minimum effort. I liked the Rapid Reel so much that I purchased a second one for my other outside faucet. Stop paying for cheap plastic hose reels every 2-3 years and put your money on a Rapid Reel this one should last for years. I am sure you will save money in the long run and it will not be a pain in reeling in your hose.

Satisfied
This is my second purchase of this item. I bought my first one a month or two earlier - very pleased. If you are attaching to a brick/concrete/block home I recommend that you discard the attachment bolts included with this product - they will break off when seating.

Absolutely delighted!
I am totally delighted with the Rapid Reel. It was easy and quick to assemble and all the parts needed for installation were included. The only suggestion I have is they could include an appropriate masonry bit. Getting that required a trip to Lowe's.

The reel works very well and certainly vastly surpasses any other reel we have ever had.
