I live near the world's leading reel company but I think their garden hose
reels are just too pricey for home use.

Never saw them before. Look good but pricey at $339. A couple of years ago
I went with www.rapidreel.com. Not cheap either, but works great. Hose
does not kink and unwinds and winds easily. The one I have was $179 but
they do have less expensive models.

Don't waste your money on the $30 plastic jobs at the big box stores.


I'd rather use those plastic jobs. They last 5 years. The cost of a
$180 model will never be recouped. I have better places to put
$150.
