Summary: A quality product made in the USA!
Comment: I am very pleased with the quality of this product. It is more expensive; but you get what you pay for. I have purchased both the four wheel wagon and the two wheel cart. I did have a small problem with the cart; but I contacted Rapid Reel's Customer Service and they took care of my concern immediately. They are very helpful and take pride in their products and in providing excellent customer service. I would buy from them again! Rapid Reel 225-Foot Four-Wheel Wagon Hose Reel #GH168-WG

Summary: Easy to roll in/out hose.
Comment: Smooth working, unlike jerky plastic molded reels which always have tight spots. High quality construction. Easy assembly (Important to have the correct size phillips screwdriver. I thought I would get by with using the first one I picked up, but it didn't work out.)

Summary: Exceptional. Just bought my second one.
Comment: Long ago I saw a sign in a clock shop, "When you buy quality, you only buy once". After wasting lots of money through the years on several of those not-so-cheap plastic hose reels, I decided to stop the madness and buy a quality product. This Rapid Reel product is well made, easy (socket wrench) to assemble (30 minutes), and destined to last. It is also made in the USA! I like this product so much that I recently ordered a second one. If you need a quality hose reel that won't tip and are tired of the plastic junk, I highly recommend this product!

Summary: Finally a good hose reel
Comment: Top notch build. Instructions that are above and beyond what you have come to expect these days. This is replacing an endless line of plastic junk. I will never buy anything else - about to order our second.

Summary: Slipping Quality
Comment: 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.
