Superior Product From a Great Company
This is a high quality durable product from a company that stands behind their products. I’ve had one of these for over a year now and I use it every day. The brake piece that keeps the hose from unwinding broke. I think that I over tightened it or assembled it incorrectly. I ordered replacements parts from Rapid Reel and received them very quickly. I was happy to pay the few dollars for the replacement parts. Unexpectedly and completely unsolicited, Rapid Reel refunded me for the replacement parts. That’s service! Stop comparing hose reels and buy this one.

Easy enough for Mom to help out! It’s great!
This hose reel, while a little pricey, has been worth every dime. This is our second purchase. We are so done with those plastic jobs…this is a well constructed reel and so easy to use. Mom not only easily pulls the hose out, but has no problem rolling it back up! If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to find a way to add a “guide” for the hose. You still need to be careful of the hose wrapping outside of the reel. Otherwise, we love it!

Superior Product
When the horrible plastic reel my wife bought broke after a year, i was tasked with finding a replacement. I believe in buying things once, and getting the right product for the job. After some research i found rapid reel. A few local distributors sold the product but no one had it in stock. When it came i was impressed with the quality of the product, which is evident from the moment you open the package. The fixture itself is sturdy and well built, the hardware that is supplied with it is top notch. The instructions are easy to follow and well written. It went together without a hitch and works flawlessly. I put 100 ft of hose on it which just fits, and after consideration i bought the $20 extension kit that allows up to 150′ of hose.

As for value, it cost me $149 canadian and came with a 10 year warranty, from the look of the assembled product it should last for years. Before i bought it i went to a local hardware store and priced out there cast aluminum hose reel at $129. It was poor quality and a cheaply made chinese product, and in the small print on the back of the box it mentioned that it “may contain lead”. So, to summarize, for $20 more i got a well-made american product with a 10 year warranty. ’nuff said!
