Default Best hose reels?

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for hose reels - garden hose, air hose and extension cords too.

What works well and what would you stay away from?

Thanks,
Dan

I recently got this air hose reel and really like it:

I have an older retractable Craftsman electrical extension cord that is ceiling mounted that I like as well, no link for that due to its age and I'm not sure it is made any longer.

No garden hose reel, I just hang the garden hose on a standard wall mount - my Karcher pressure washer has a built in reel but it is kind of a pain in the a** and when it gets replaced I will probably go without the reel next time.

Count me as another big fan of Eley! A quality product made in Lincoln NE, USA.
A variety of mounting options including cart. I especially like the tension brake that keeps the hose from unrolling on it's own. You'll never buy a plastic one again!

I bought this air hose reel at Tractor Supply a few years ago, I've seen them elsewhere also. Don't know the MFG. - Bill W

Cadillac of reels seems to be Reelcraft made in Indiana. I got their 100’ of 3/4” air hose model and it’s a monster.

That’s a lot of hose but I wanted to be able to run from my shop to the house occasionally and do things in the driveway.
