3.0 out of 5 stars Slipping Quality, May 20, 2008

Easy assembly and good instructions. However, for the price, you would expect better quality. There are some plastic parts and the unit doesn't feel as sturdy or as well made as a Rapid Reel that I purchased about 3 to 4 years ago that was all metal construction and built like a tank. The fittings were also heftier in the previous model. The quality has defintely slipped a notch or two. Still better than the plastic hose reels on the market, but a disappointment for the price and as compared to an earlier Rapid Reel. It appears that a concious decision was made to reduce manufacturing costs, which in turn, sacrificed quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Sturdy Hose Reel, August 26, 2006

Having gone through both all-plastic and plastic-metal hose reels in the past 5 years, I was looking for the best possible reel on the market and perhaps now have it. The reel is very well-made, and lets me manage my 150 ft of heavy rubber hose with ease! There are very few plastic parts, and I recommend it highly!

After going through plastic reels every two to three years, I am very happy with this heavy duty reel. I can put 150 feet of hose on it without having to worry about it falling apart.
