Well that just doubled my budget for this purchase. I'll probably just go with that unless someone has something better or close for cheaper.

I bought one over 10 years ago. 10+ years of sun and rain, still going strong. I have a 200 ft (one hose) garden hose on it.

This ^^^^^, in spades!

I'd been looking for a hose reel meant to be mounted on a 4x4 post for some time. Sure, I could have purchased some-or-another wall-mount plastic thing and rigged something up, but that just didn't excite me. Enter the Eley hose reels, with an optional post-mount kit.

What a beautiful thing! Got it installed yesterday:



Bonus: My wife has a bad back, so it's hard on her to use the plastic hose reels we have. That Eley turns so easily and smoothly she has no problem with it at all.

Now I can't wait for our existing plastic hose reels to die so I'll have an excuse to replace them with Eley hose reels.

If you want, I'll tell you how good their hoses are too. Oh...and the quick disconnects are pretty sweet too.

Lol…I’ve got 4 hoses hanging in the garage. I’ll put the best one on it and probably chuck the others. Maybe keep one extra.

Current hose situation left much to be desired.

I've been resisting, still haven't pulled trigger yet as I'm funding too many projects at once.

I'm going to buy one plus their hose because of this thread.
It will wait until next spring, though; I'll get by with what I have until then.
