If you want the best hose reel, this is it!   2009-10-28
By L. Bramble (North Port, FL USA)
Tired of marginally constructed plastic hose reels? I was too, and the old saying "you get what you pay for" holds true with this Rapid Reel product. I can't imagine a better engineered, more solidly built yet easy to put together totally with supplied items, smooth operating hose reel out there. I will gladly consider Rapid Reel to replace either of my other two remaining plastic hose reels when they eventually fail.
Heavy Duty   2009-10-15
By Amazon fan (Staunton,VA)
Amazing construction quality. You do get what you pay for with this one. Built like a tank. Would be even better with an automatic hose guide, but still the best I have seen.
This product is made in China   2009-10-13
By Phillip L. Jones (Orange County, CA)
I thought I was paying top dollar prices for American made quality. I got the quality and paid top dollar...but made in China! There is a lot of hype on the manufacturers website about quality, deep roots in the heartland etc. Don't let them mislead you It is a solid product though but complicated to install. Make sure you - or someone you know - has some talent with a drill
Nicely designed -- you won't regret buying it   2009-08-24
By mutex (Foxboro, MA USA)
Far too often we buy something and either immediately or gradually come to hate it, either because of a flawed design, cheap construction or both. That won't the case with this reel. I just bought the 2009 model but still have a forerunner (about 12 years old) that despite heavy usage looks and works like it's new. From what I can see they've only improved the design and materials, which, given that the older reel was (and remains) great, is an impressive feat. Admittedly it's a bit on expensive side, but not being annoyed by cheap reels makes it well worth it. Obviously lots of care and thought went into the design. Unlike many products, it'll put a smile on your face.
Great Value! Beats the Junk Reels   2009-07-04
By Jeff Harris (Leesburg, VA)
As a gardener since I was a wee lad in Rural Virginia, I can tell you good tools matter. I have spent hundreds replacing hose reels over the last 20 years, and I can tell you this is the best quality hose reel I have ever owned. I purchased 2 Suncoat "Junk Reels" less than 2 years ago, and one has already been trashed, and the other one is on life support. And I paid decent money for them. This puppy works like a charm. Worth every penny.
