You can buy the spares for them or you could do they’ve had problems with that plastic reel I’m sure they’ve rectified them by now it’s been out a couple of years.

In end I went for the 3d so can't wait 😁😁😁 cheers for the replies 👍

Until the belt snaps and the switch breaks.....

Daz may be correct on this point
I replaced the red switch with old yellow one £12.50
My mates HD's belt broke, got a replacement free
Mmm
Take ur pick
£450
Or 900 ish😂😂😂
BTW Daz, do you shop at Waitrose and Live in Alderley Edge 🤣

Standard PF electric reel is £649 + Vat

I have used a van mounted Hannay reel (similar to Cox) for the last 16 years. I would think most who complain about manual reeling are using cheaper reels. Hannay and Cox are top quality and easier to reel in. Not against electric reels but would be very reluctant to get rid of my Hannay.

So with VAT and Del, not far short of £900
Ouch,i say!!!

Hi Jon nice to see you posting again .hope all is well mate...

My pure freedom reelmaster was around £650 including VAT and delivery when I bought mine(nearly 4 years ago now)....Still going strong 💪

Prices have obviously gone up considerably since...

The HD  doesn’t  have a belt it’s chain driven .

[jonboywalton75]

Sorry my mates 3d
Ive even got the 3d
I just press buttons all day without taking notice of its name
Money well spent so far

What was the problem?

First one lasted no time before rattling itself to bits, the replacement is better (newer version) but I've had to replace the button twice and the lad that uses it wants to go back to a "proper reel".

Belt snapped on the electric reel.

Replaced it with a Cox.

Wouldn't bother with an electric reel again.

Honestly m8 go for the Xline it’s the same as the HD chain driven I wouldn’t buy anything with a belt like 99% of manufacturers they make a great product and replace it with rubbish coz it’s cheap to manufacture.

The New XLine reel doesn't seem to have any overspooling control/tension unless you buy the controller at an additional £180.
I like the look of it but once you add on overspool control and the roller guides to stop hose slipping over  the sides it stops looking  cheap!
I do prefer the construction of it as I still prefer steel and a drive chain to a plastic reel and a belt but I'm not sure.

Do you have any experience with the new XLine reel?

[NWH]

It’s the same as the HD under the bonnet m8 you don’t need the overspooling controller etc just get one with the roller guides,once you’ve been using it for a while you get used to it the speed it reels in at etc the hose guides are a good addition a lot I’ve seen from other manufacturers are over engineered for what we need it for.

You can buy a bolt kit that screws against the drum that acts as an overspooling device to prevent it .

[NWH]

Yeah no doubt you can but you don’t need it and certainly not with the roller guides with the Xline one,you can have them top or bottom of the reel.

I found the hd would overspool using floor rollers

[NWH]

The one I’ve seen on there website is the same as the Waterworks one but has top or bottom roller guides,it looks slightly narrower than the drum so I wouldn’t think it would be too much of a problem.
I have no guides or side protection on the one I have you get used to it I rarely get it going over the side.

[Stoots]

I have the xline reel it does indeed overspin badly as standard.

You can put a piece of nylon and a screw in the spindle to stop overspin, it does work but ive found it needs re tightening quite often.

Im going to buy the overspin controller for it.

All things considered if you only want one of them you may as well just pay the money and buy a purfreedom one, i went for the xline because i want 2 and i like how you can stack them and of course at 500 inc vat are a fair bit cheaper.

[NWH]

The footprint of them I find is perfect also that plastic screw was offered to people that had purchased one previously for free a few years back now,like I say you get used to it I think they are great value.

[Ched]

The XLine reel doesn't look like it can have the nylon screw added as the sides go up and over the reel.
If it could be added I might be tempted.

I'm hoping that one of the electric reel manufacturers does a good Black Friday deal

It can it's the same reel as the power up HD but to get to it you have to take the reel apart. Problem is when you want to tighten it. I put a bolt in mine instead of screw and manage to reach it with a socket  with an angle adapter. I was going to grind a hole in the side of the housing so you can access it with an Allan key but will probably just buy the overspin controller now.

Like I say if you only want one just buy the pure freedom honestly.
