Rapid Reel 1042-GH Review by A. Collison (Minneapolis, MN)
This is my second reel from this company....the first was an air hose reel which has worked flawlessly over the years. This water hose reel is well made in the USA. You won't find a better built reel anywhere and doesn't leak a drop of water. The reel brake is a nice feature to ensure your hose doesn't unreel when you don't want it to.
I purchased the reel with Gilmour 20-58100 20 Series Platinum 8 Ply Flexogen Hose which does not work unless you cut off the plastic "Tri-Lobe oval EZ on coupler" which is molded over a traditional female hose fitting. Easy enough to do but amazon should check compatibility before packaging items together as it didn't fit through the side hole of the reel.
Rapid Reel 1042-GH Review by Michael G Carnes (Cary, NC, US)
The Rapid Reel Free Standing Garden Hose Reel is by far the best quality hose reel that I have ever purchased. It is made of aluminum so it will never rust. It is ruggedly constructed so it should never break. The fittings are of outstanding qualtiy and do not leak even with my 100 psi water pressure. That being said, the reel is hard to crank in the hose. It goes out easily but requires considerable energy and force to reel back in. There is no hose guide so winding the hose back in evenly is a bit tricky. My biggest concern is that the unit is a bit unstable when cranking in the hose. I have to step on the feet of the reel in order to keep it from tipping over. I currently have 100 feet of hose on the reel. I may have to reduce the length to 50 or 75 feet in order to make cranking in the hose less difficult. So, the quality is outstanding but the performance (ease of use) is only slightly better than much cheaper reels that I have owned.
