Purchasing for years from Amazon and like many others we look at the ratings and what others find.My issue, connecting this air hose to my compressor, not all fittings included.The Lead in hose to my compressor, the fitting is the same but you cannot attach it to the compressor as the hose fitting does not turn so you cannot attach it but a few turns and it takes more to tighten.Thus the low rating as it cannot be connected fully I cannot rate this air hose assembly until there is a reasonable way to connect to the compressor.And waiting for warmer weather to work on this I cannot return it.

Hung it upside down from a truss, had to relocate the roller bracket though

This is really awesome made reel for saving time! Mine is hooked up to the sprayer. Hose is sturdy. Length is sufficient for my needs. Quality of reel is high quality. Finally found one that can withstand heavy service.

Managed to use it as a portable filtered unit. Hose reel brake requires some adjusting but all in all a good unit

I run a joinery business and struggled to find a hose reel hardcore enough. Pretty hardcore so far!.

So first off I wanna say that, despite my gripes, this thing appears to be very well made. Much better than anything I’ve seen at the Home improvement stores.Now for my gripes. This is actually more of a heads up more than anything. My first issue is the whip(or lead hose… whatever you want to call it). I didn’t see the lead hose length anywhere on the ad, so I asked the Amazon AI and it said based on reviews the lead hose was 6’. The actual lead hose length is 43.” I didn’t measure it, but it says that on the box. Regardless, I could tell almost immediately that it wouldn’t reach the compressor. I fixed that by connecting a 50’ hose to the lead hose and then connecting the 50’ to the compressor… I don’t even care anymore…Next issue was the fittings that it came with. It came with one double female fitting and one double male fitting. The double female fitting is for the long hose on the reel, whereas I believe the double male fitting was for the lead hose… problem is that the lead hose has threads and is therefore male. This kind of action might work people, but it doesn’t seem to work for me personally. Luckily I had a brass female male fitting just laying around waiting to be useful. I don’t know, I can be a knucklehead sometimes, but I’m pretty sure there was no way to make what they gave me work.Another note is that the PTFE feels different than what I’m used to. Probably will still work(I used it anyway), but I prefer poly temp.Anyways… the reel is nice. I still would buy it agian, despite the minor inconveniences. I have so much extra/spare parts laying around that it wasn’t a big deal for me, but this could be a bigger issue for some folks. So measure and make sure the lead hose will be long enough and get some extra fittings, they’re cheap and easy to keep on hand anyway for when they go bad.

This hose reel seems to work well. Hopefully it’ll last a long time.

Heavy enough it doesn't slide around when you pull the hose out. This just sits on the ground next to my compressor at the back wall of my shop.Does nice job coiling up the hose when you are done.Gives the impression it is well built. Spring hasn't given out yet.If you need a long air hose in your shop and don't have fixed plumbing to various workstations (so you can use a short hose)...this is a great solution.

Big upgrade from my last airline and I have it set up next to my compressor approximately 3 feet off the ground, I can honestly say that it works superbly well and hasn't given me any trouble at all, I did read other reviews about it but haven't encountered anything bad from it.Highly recommended 5 ⭐.

Works great. I like the 100 feet of hose and self retracting. I would definitely buy this product again

Finding a self winding air hose reel that will take 100ft of air hose is not easy.I've had a manual one for 20 years that accepts 100ft of hose.I need 100ft for blowing out the sprinkler system, and reaching up the driveway to fill tires.In the winter, it is hard to get to the air hose reel with the snow blowers in the way.I can pull out the hose, but can't get back there to wind it back up.And being 20yo, it's still works, got my monies worth out of it.. but time to go, it's getting cranky.So are my knuckles with rewinding and how close the crank is to the wall of where it's mounted.The four negatives for the Goodyear reel..Pricey.Heavy.Design to be sitting on the floor.No wall mounting consideration.Ok, but built well.I built a shelf out of 2x4's and plywood for it to sit on, at chest height.With a couple of eye bolts, strapped it in place so it wont pull off the shelf.Simple build and it holds the Reel's weight just fine.The rubber feet almost takes care of it slipping on the plywood, but not taking a chance, 1.75 for a strap at HD and a buck for a couple of eyebolts.It's above the snow blowers, easy to pull out, and the self winder is a dream.So far so great.. expensive but works great.When pulling out all 100ft, do not not work from the very end, but get back near the reel so as not to stress the entire hose with pulling out on the growing length of 100ft. You can feel the hose stretch.Pulling out 20-30ft from the very end, seems not to be a problem, get past 50ft, and want to get back to the reel and grab mid hose and start again.Same for releasing the ratchet spring.With all 100ft out, I walk the end back to the reel, and pull on the hose near the reel to release and guide the hose back onto the reel.The rollers work great, but considering the price, there should have been a leader that moves and layers the hose correctly as it rewinds, like you find on a $50 water hose reel.This was not that big of a consideration for me, and didn't stop me from buying it, but just saying at this price level.

This is a nice self retracting reel. This air hose reel does come completely assembled right out of the box. I knew before purchasing it would need to be repaired in order for it to retract correctly. (Two washers installed on locking arm) The lever that locks into the gear to hold the reel in place did not line up just as other reviewers stated. I had to remove the part and install 2 washers in order for it to work correctly. I use this reel on an irrigation service truck with an air compressor to blow irrigation systems for the winter and it worked perfect. Saved lots of time from home to home..Time saved means more money can be made.. I can't believe they have continued to ship this out with this factory misassembly. Still worth the purchase though. But be aware of the needed repair. Air Hose is included too and seems to be of very good quality. All-and-all it is a great purchase. Not too heavy either if you are using it with air.
