RT25 25' Handi-Hose Reel

The product did not look anything like the picture. It did not have a handle or a knob to wind the hose. It's cheaply made. I'm keeping it only because I can use the hose to replace one in a an old reel that DOES look like the picture. The reel for the one I bought goes in the trash. Don't buy it!!

Make good presents

This will be used in my motorhome so love the compact storage, a little pricey and if its not straight it kinks.

We bought this hose to carry on our sailboat. It does store nicely on the spool but it is too delicate. Often docks have rough boards with splinters. Ours is now so full of holes its like a kids summer toy.

Great product concept but it leaked right out of the box. I would not advise the purchase of this product as you will be disappointed.

Had the 25' hose for 11 years and used it camping regularly. VERY durable. When it finally wore out, I bought TWO more. Yes, it needs to be kink-free. Yes, it needs to be completely unrolled to use. But it is very convenient, flexible, and space saving. I can't address how it performs in yard applications or marine uses, but I find it a great product and good value! Highly recommend!

Can't beat the compactness and light weight but this hose must be handled with care to prevent puncture damage.

It's not a fire hose or even a decent hose, for that matter. I got this to use when we visit marinas on our boat. Connecting and dragging around 50' hoses to the marina hose bibs is a real pain. The hoses take up a lot of room in the lazzarette and always seem to catch on something when you take them out. I thought this compact hose with a reel would answer my concerns. Wrong! Although the hose looks like a fire hose it doesn't have the strength or durability of one. It must be completely removed from the reel and the hose must be straight before applying any water pressure. It can't have any kinks or bends. After using just a few times, it started to develop leaks and cracks. It just isn't up to robust use. The reel is more durable than the hose. I dumped the reel and now use the hose as an extension behind some bushes in the yard where the leaking doesn't matter. My search for a great hose for the boat will continue.
