Customer Reviews:

Good purchase [Posted on 2008-02-09]
I've used other hose reels (plastic) and this metal one is by far the best I've seen and used. You still need to help guide the hose on by hand, but other than that it's worth the price. I bought this through a marketplace vendor. I paid $74 for it plus shipping. The price seems to fluctuate on this product. I've seen at up to $120. I wouldn't pay over $80.

Great Product, Great Service [Posted on 2008-03-19]
I ordered two Rapid Reel hose reels, one parallel and one perpendicular and was sent two perpendicular ones. A quick contact with the supplier and I was e-mailed a UPS return label to send one of the reels back at no cost to me. A few days later, the parallel one arrived. What great service!

I agree with the other reviewers - these are the Cadillac of hose reels. I have tried the plastic ones and one year is all I was able to get out of them. Have both of the Rapid Reels installed using the included hardware. The lag screws were long enough to go through Hardiplank siding and into the studs. The reels hold lots of hose and are very smooth and easy to use. These babies are built to last.....

I BUY THE BEST [Posted on 2008-04-06]
We own five of these at two homes.
They will last as long as you do and you won't end up buying those plastic
imposters over and over.
Now if I can just convince the maker to make a swivel design because after
all the reel should point to where you want to go with the hose or wind it in from where it lies.

For Those Who Appreciate Quality [Posted on 2008-04-25]
Thanks to those here who reviewed this product I bought one after looking at the cheap plastic reels at OSH. This is a high-quality, smooth-running, well-made product.

In fact, I was so impressed that I went out and bought a second "parallel" model with which I'm equally pleased.

Works as well as advertised [Posted on 2008-05-04]
My original hose reel froze during the winter and the inner spindle cracked - the entire unit needed to be trashed. The rapid reel uses a much simpler mechanism that is attached directly to the hose - it seems like the simplest possible way in which one could produce a hose reel. This allows for easy assembly, and most importantly, easy replacement of parts if needed. I'll have to see how it fares next winter but even if there are problems I'll be able to fix them easily. I highly recommend this product.
