Extra-Capacity Kit

Excellent Hose Reel, but Pole Mount Could Be Better

The reel itself is excellent. It’s solid, well designed, and works exactly as it should. Installation was easy, and the instructions were clear. I added the extra capacity kit so I could use 200 feet of hose, along with the pole-mount option. I mounted it to a cemented-in 6x6 post with a vinyl post sleeve. My only complaint is that the pole mount doesn’t fit over the vinyl sleeve, so I had to notch the sleeve on one side where the reel attaches. I knew this before buying it, but I still wish ELEY offered a mounting option that worked with a standard 6x6/4x4 vinyl sleeve. A bare wooden post next to the house doesn’t look great, and people spending $500+ on a hose reel probably care about how the finished installation looks. Other than that, I’m very happy with it and I would recommend it.

Stellar product

Easy to assemble and greatly increased the hose wheel capacity

Extra capacity kit

I bought this kit to have just in case I ever need more capacity for my hose reel. I ordered it at the same time I purchased my hose reel. I feel it was relatively inexpensive insure in case I need more capacity.
