Rapid Reel 150-Foot Parallel Wall Reel #GH164-PL Reviews
I am sure you will save money in the long run and it will not be a pain in reeling in your hose. I liked the Rapid Reel so much that I purchased a second one for my other outside faucet. This thing is smooth, efficient and sturdy, I can reel in 150 feet of hose with minimum effort. The assembly was easy and very straight forward. When I received the first Rapid Reel I was surprised to see that almost every part was made of metal and was very nicely manufactured. I purchased one of these reels in early May 2008 because the plastic hose reel I had for 2 years was falling apart and was difficult to use.
Over the years I have replaced my plastic hose reels every 2-3 years because the plastic breaks down in the sun and cranking the reel gets harder and harder. Stop paying for cheap plastic hose reels every 2-3 years and put your money on a Rapid Reel this one should last for years. I was skeptical at first that reeling in the house would be any easier than with the old plastic reel - boy was I surprised.
This is my second purchase of this item. If you are attaching to a brick/concrete/block home I recommend that you discard the attachment bolts included with this product - they will break off when seating. I bought my first one a month or two earlier - very pleased.
The reel works very well and certainly vastly surpasses any other reel we have ever had. I am totally delighted with the Rapid Reel. It was easy and quick to assemble and all the parts needed for installation were included. Getting that required a trip to Lowe's. The only suggestion I have is they could include an appropriate masonry bit.
The assembly takes about 10 minutes if you're at all mechanically inclined. Note that if you buy the perpendicular model, you have to make sure that your hose isn't too long or it will jamb between the reel and the wall.
The design prevents the hose from being pinched or twisted. Very little plastic.
I don't have much to add beyond what has already been written, but I have this model and the perpendicular model for my house. They are very well made and rugged.
I highly recommend this product. The most difficult part is finding the studs to screw into.
They also look great and go with most home exteriors.
First class product. We have since ordered two more. A little pricey but over the years, we've probably wasted twice the money on inferior products. Well constructed and performs as advertised.
