Just as described, works very well. [Posted on 2008-04-04]
Assembled and installed very easily. Not much to it but it's sturdy and well made and a real convenience for people who despise dealing with hoses which pretty much includes me.
Finally did it right [Posted on 2008-04-20]
After years of using cheap plastic junk, I finally spent some hard earned dough and and bought two of these baby's, one parallel and one perpendicular. Installation was fairly easy. I read the instructions several times, assembled both units and installed them in about an hour and a half. No big deal. The quality of these reels seem to be second to none. Solid craftsmanship, along with outstanding customer service. Rapid Reel Corp. e-mailed me, thanking me for my purchase. They said they are always here if I ever have any problems with either of the units. How often do you get thet kind of service with a company? My cheap Ames hose reels are currently on the curb in front of my house, waiting for the garbage men to put them right where they belong. No more cheap junk for me.
But along with these outstanding hose reels, I made some other purchases to complete my quest for lawn care perfection. I bought two 75ft. lenghts of Apex Neverkink garden hose. In addition,I added two Bon-Aire fireman type nozzles. Also, I bought what very well may be the mother of all sprinklers, the Gardena Aquazoom 350/T. I haven't received this yet, but after much research I think I made the right choice. I finished my spending spree by buying the Nelson brand all-brass quick disconnects, so all my hoses and attachments will be a snap to change. The total price for all this, about $350.00. I feel it was money well spent. I wanted to do it for the last time and do it right. Thanks for reading.
Worth the money [Posted on 2008-04-25]
I bought the cheaper version and it broke. This works great. It is well made and looks like it will last a very long time. Spend the money on this now and avoid being disappointed by cheeper versions which cost less. I doubt it will really handle 150 ft of 5/8 hose. I have 100 feet and it works fine, but I imagine 150ft would need to be rolled very very carefully to fit.
Rapid Response [Posted on 2008-05-01]
Bought two of these, on both of them the hose clip broke during installation but a email to Rapid Reel got new clips fedexed no questions asked.
I like the reel but you should be aware that these use a plastic bearing not brass like my older Rapid Reel. Still better than anything you will buy at the Garden Center!
High quality product! [Posted on 2008-05-04]
This product is not inexpensive -- but I am very pleased with the product as it appears to be very high quality. Those installing the product should prepare to be patient, proceed carefully, follow the instructions exactly -- and not hurry any step.
