 Slipping QualityMay 21, 2008
By E. Lau
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.

 Very Sturdy Hose ReelAug 26, 2006
By David Lee
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!

Great Hose ReelJun 29, 2006
By Pasquale Delore
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.

RAPID REEL 225?Jul 05, 2007
By Cary Sohmers
I NEED A HOSE REEL TO HOLD AT LEAST 200 FEET OF 5/8 HOSE. THE HOSE BARELY FITS. I'M SURPRISE THAT IT STATES 225 OF HOSE MAYBE 1/2 INCH?

Serious Hose Reel - Heavy Duty for sureJul 09, 2007
By Dave W
The Rapid hose reel delivers on its promise of being a high quality product. The instructions for assembly were clear and assembly was relatively simple. The portable hose reels I used previously were of the Ames plastic variety. This Rapid model is definitely in another league from a feel and handling standpoint.
The adjustable tension brake is a nice feature that works well to avoid slack in the hose. The tubular construction gives the feeling that the unit could be abused with no ill effects to operation. After about a month of use I have no water leaks from the fittings. The large pneumatic tires provide easy rolling over the lawn, especially as compared to the small plastic wheels on my other hose reels. The relatively high height of the hose and handle make for easier handling with less stooping than on my other reels.
The only downside to the Rapid reel discovered so far is that there is no basket or pouch attached for carrying accessories like extra quick disconnects, nozzles, etc. I will probably fabricate something simple to add to the structure for this purpose.
In summary, I am very happy with this purchase.
