If you’re on a budget and want a hose reel to do the bare minimum, we recommend the Suncast Hosemobile Hose Reel Cart. Those new to hose reels might be surprised to find that many models are priced at over $100. The reel is fairly close to the ground and could be more ergonomic. Hose Capacity: 150, 200, or 225 feet | Material: Aluminum | Dimensions: 23.5 x 19.3 x 16.9 inches All things considered, we found this to be a reliable and quality hose reel that will last for years to come. Plus, it has been tested to ensure that it can survive outside in extreme weather conditions, so you can rest easy knowing that it can handle rain or shine, as well as snow. This machine comes with a six-foot-long leader hose, a seven-year warranty, and a storage compartment under the reel, which is a great place to store gardening tools. To unravel your hose, simply use the crank on the side. During our testing, the wheels easily maneuvered over any terrain, in part thanks to the rubber grip on the handle, which gave us better grip and control. The wheels are made of rubber, which are water-resistant and flat-free, so no need to worry about the wheels going down because of a puncture. The Gorilla Mobile Hose Reel is primarily made of aluminum, which is rust-resistant and lightweight. Out of all the hose reels we tested, this hose reel was our personal favorite for its sturdy materials, easy portability, and comfortable handle. The hose reel handle may be too short for a tall person.
