After fitting some electric reels at Christmas I can honestly say it has been one of the best things I could have done on my break.

The difference is massive.

For those that aint sure, go outside to the van and reel off 100m of hose and reel back in at a decent pace. Repeat this 3-4 times.
Then asess if you could live without doing this everyday. I know I can.

lazy git....how old are you?35?or 85?

i honestly dont have a problem reeling in with a fixed manual reel.mines a cox reel and its virtually effortless.....

[p1w1]

with an electric real its completely effortless.

I'm seriously considering an electric reel, looks like it saves a lot of time and energy! Have you got the remote control model or a button in the van?

Now I think that an electric reel is one of the extras that woul make a difference to your day . Rather spend on this than an expensive hot water set up 😁

30 seconds for 100m love my HD reel wouldn't go back to manual reeling my dicky shoulder is 98% better.

Didn't bother with the remote, my thinking was 1 you need to be next to the van anyway to align the hose back onto the reel and 2 i wouldn't start reeling in  if i couldn't see if anybody was walking past while its reeling in. The cable on the power up hd reel is plenty long enough to put the controller on the back door so you dont have to go leaning in the van to push the button.
They certainly are a brilliant time saver and more importantly  your body will thank you for it no matter how fit you think you are.

I cant believe you dont have a leccy reel daz, you have a brand new van and hot water to make your life as easy as possible and one item that does make a noticaeble difference is a leccy reel. And you dont have one 

[Michael Peterson]

Don’t worry he will get one soon enough

39 years young mate!
I'm in the best shape I have been in for since I  was compteting in 2008, strength traing x2 per week and conditioning x1 per week.

Still dont miss reeling in though, leaves that little bit of gas left in the tank for other things .

Cost £50 per reel!

And it hasn't missed a beat in 10 weeks.

I installed me reel above waist height and put a button right next to it, easy as pie.

Thats how I have mine set up as well, it makes it so much easier.  However ive been re jigging the van around today.  It is you Paul isnt it as PnSwindowcleaning on youtube who shared video of the new layout?  Since ive seen that I have been thinking about doing similar and lifting the reel higher and so today ive made a start:




Dismantled my pump n controller from the mounted board from pure freedom and fitted my pump underneath like yourself but my controller is right next to the reel.
Just means I have to get up extra early to finish the van off. Need to re fit the electric motor to the reel and wire it up.  Im placing the button to the other side of the reel, so its all in easy reach

[paul alan]

Yes mate that's me pnswindowcleaning.

I sat for hours trying to work the best layout out and it kept coming back to that, its a no brainer really.

Looks good what you've done there, looking forward to the video mate.

i dont have a problem with reeling in mate...no shoulder problems,no weak arms,no neck problems.i dont find it hard work....if anything it gives a short cardio benefit which is a good thing IMO.....

I have been thinking about one of these Grippatank electric jobies seams to be a big delay in them being released, might get one to try and if successful/ I like it might get a second one any reviews when ones get one would be good 😎😎😎😎

[koopmaster]

It took me a month to fine tune my DIY electric reel.  It's like have a second person doing the hard work for you.  Boosted productivity.  I'll never go back to Manual reel now.  All remote reeling.  Such a time and energy saver.
