Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rapid Reel GH164-PL 150-Foot Parallel Wall Reel
Customer Review: Good Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned previous garden hose reels, but none of them compare with the quality of this one.
I am very happy with this product.
Customer Review: Good if you're fed up with bad quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I took the plunge and bought this expensive mother-of-all-hose-reels because I was tired of going through one or two cheap quality Ames hose reels each year. This has a very sturdy all-steel construction. The connector pieces (which are almost always the parts that break/leak in a cheap hose reel) are solid brass. This comes with a 10 year warranty against breakage or leakage, and I'm going to hold them to it.
One the (slight) downside, it comes completely unassembled. For an $80 hose reel, I think I'd like it to be almost fully assembled. It wouldn't be any more difficult to package or ship if it were assembled. The box says assembly takes 10 minutes. It took me more like 30, and I'm relatively mechanically inclined. My box was also missing the pieces necessary to mount it on a brick wall.
When all was done, however, I was very happy with the way that the thing works and looks. I will update my review 10 years from now to let you know if it has leaked. It better not!
Customer Review: Great Hose Reel
Summary: 5 Stars
We have had several types of hose reels and by far this is the most sturdy of them all. This is our 2nd one and we love it!Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
After buying several plastic (and flimsy) hose reels during the last 20-years, it is a relief to find a sturdy, high quality product. The only down-side is that the reel is a little wider than the plastic reels but it's a small negative. This reel is built with enough quality materials that give the impression that it may last 20-years! Even though it's a more expensive than the plastic reels, I'm sure it's worth it.Customer Review: Great Product...
Summary: 5 Stars
High quality product... with easy to understand instructions for assembly. Does not leak and looks good. I put 150 feet of hose on the reel without a problem. Hardest part of the install was finding a stud on the side of our house. Great product... would highly suggest.
