I can recommend the freestanding pf reels we have a few of them and guess they are similar to the van version the only criticism would be the manual ones are slow retrieval of the hose compared to other brands no idea why . If you were thinking about an electric reel the reel master from pf are very good but a bit over engineered

They are very small reels when you see them in the flesh a friend of mine has one ok for 30 meters of garden hose but that’s about it , ok for mounting on a trolly though

There ok for light use but remove the screws and glue them back into place. Won't last long for regular window cleaning.

I’ve got one of them fixed to my streamline trolley with 50mm of microbore on it.
Been on there around 9 years. Brilliant little reel for a trolley ?
