Hose reel

[Scott Engelhardt]

I bought this off Amazon and it is well worth the $$$$$

I have one in my garage, along with 3 cord reels that all hang from the ceiling.

Bought one from harbor freight and it works very well , five years and running. Glad I got it.

I installed one in the garage about 17 years ago. Been a staple ever since.

Have another one in the shop that hasn’t been installed yet. But I plan to!

I got this from the dump. It wasn't broken, hose was in perfect shape. No idea why it was thrown away.

Vevor?

Interesting.

My wife just bought a pool vacuum that's the same brand.

I have a small air hose reel in my pole barn.
Got it from craigslist.
I have another for my shop but have not had the motivation to find a good place to mount it and reel the hose on.

After 40-years, finally said enough with the tangled hoses, re-winding hassles to store. Bought water and air hose reels month or so ago. The air hose reaches both garages and the water hose is over a 100-ft long. Don’t know why I didn’t do this years ago, like a lot of stuff I waited too long to do..

I've had terrible luck with water hose reels.
They seem to last about 1.5 years no matter the brand or quality.
I think it has something to do with the way Florida is very unfriendly to rubber and plastic, especially if stored outdoors.
What normally happens is the pivot and connection from the inside of the reel to the actual hose breaks.
I've seen numerous others "out by the curb" with the same issue.
Quit buying them after the third one.
One of these days, I'll get around to mounting a rally wheel on the side of the house.

I'm a rookie (1st water reel) so will find out. Plan to bring mine in during the winter, it's not exactly lightweight. At my age, three-years into the future being still able seems like a hope and a blessing, lol.

First water hose reel i purchased broke after the third use. However, it was several months old by then. I have tried other manual hose reels also. They always break somewhere or leak somewhere. Gave up on them, my hose lays coiled up on the ground now between the bushes when not in use these days.
