Gorilla is the best hose reel made. I have bought a couple different models and they are all easy to assemble, durable, and easy to use. My parents are in their late 70’s and I bought them a Gorilla reel for their garden and they tell me how easy it is to reel in their water hose. I use them at my church and home and both reels have held up well. The short hose that comes with the reel that you connect to the faucet is also very durable and it does not kink. I’ll be buying more of these reels for other areas of my properties. You get what you pay for. Thank you
