Best I've seen July 25, 2008
This reel is a very well designed product, well worth the price. Assembly instructions are adequate and easy to follow. The simplicity of design is to be commended.

Is this for "reel?" July 19, 2008
I purchased a Rapid Reel one year ago and made a second purchase a week ago. What's there not to like? An American company, sturdy construction, and if you need servicing, just call the toll free number to speak to a live representative located in Nebraska who can be understood! No call being routed to the other side of the world! I called for a replacement part (due to my own negligence) and they promptly fed-ex the part with no additional charge. Is this for `reel?'

My Rapid Reel July 9, 2008
I have no complaints about my purchase. I have a parallel mount on decorative concrete block with 150 ft of hose. My wife can unwind and wind it with little effort. The only trouble I had during the assembly was drilling and mounting the bracket to the concrete blocks. The 4 holes I drilled did not all line up. I tried to drill a bigger hole in the bracket and snapped a corner of it off. I called the company and they sent another bracket over night free of charge. I will never buy a cheap plastic reel again, this one is the way to go.

Truly solid and great product (great manual too) July 6, 2008
I settled on this reel after reading all the reviews of folks fed up with the plastic crud one is left to buy in all the stores. After putting this thing together, I can re-affirm that this is a solid piece of engineering and looks to last a long time (just got it so can't attest to the endurance). I know a bit about engineering and endurance of products, whether thats due to my education or my destructive tendencies or both, I shall not dig into, but I will say that my gut feel is that this product is going to be around for a wahile.

I wanted to highlight that the instruction manual that comes with this product is WONDERFUL. Which is important since this product has to be assembled.

So many times I've seen companies market a great product and then produce cheap, useless instruction manuals. Kudos to Rapid Reel for taking the time to write a manual that has graphics that show the items clearly (the pictures actually look like the pieces you are trying to put together) and have clear, concise instructions for each step. It sounds easy, but until you've tried to write a manual, you don't realize how hard and time consuming it is to write something easy and obvious to use. The zen of instruction manuals.

Again, kudos Rapid Reel, great product and GREAT instruction manual!

Overall great but . . . July 4, 2008
We ordered 2 of these after reading the reviews and trashing many plastic reels that just haven't survived the weather. The product was easy to assemble and seems quite sturdy to last a long time. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars was due to the installation bolts that were included to mount it on brick walls. If there are air gaps in the walls like our house has, the bolts push back into the wall leaving little or no bolt exposed to attach the reel to. We were finally able to make it work, but it was a frustrating process. Now that they are installed, we love them!
