What are the best hose reels to buy?

[Ben17]

Hi guys, I'm just wondering what are the best stand up reels are out there? And from what website, and of course not to pricey. 

I work from a trailer, and lift them from my car boot onto the floor so they need to be reasonable in weight. 

Any help would be much appreciated, cheers ?

Ach yeah.. Trailers almost done. So gonna just wait until we get a new one, then get it bolted on.
Seen ones from Grippatank for £95 including VAT so thought that was quite good!

I looked on their website and couldn't find that listed.

Lots of window cleaners don't like those reels as they can't pull the hose off of them at an angle. We have the same reels but with wheels, so for us we angle the reel by pointing it into the right direction. You may have to adjust the way you pull the hose off the reel with its fixed. (By that I mean you may have to walk the hose out up the street before you pull it into the customer's driveway and to where you want it.)

I have this one, and after a year all the powder coating has come off.  I'm now on the search for a new one with wheels so it can be manoeuvred easier to the desired angle when working.
