When choosing your next electric rewind hose reel, there are some questions you need to ask yourself and consider before you buy!
DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR
Would you prefer cumbersome shafts, pulleys and belts, chain drives and sprockets that all require maintenance and are often prone to need spare parts?
Or would you prefer a direct drive motor? Based inside the hose reel without any of the chains or pulleys or belts that come in standard motors, the brushless motor requires little to no maintenance.
HOSE WIND-UP SPEED
Would you like to run with one return speed when rewinding the hose? Keeping up with your remote reel with the 'wind-up' speed getting faster and faster the more hose your wind back onto the reel?
Or would you prefer on electric rewind hose reel that lets you choose the speed you rewind the hose up? Offering you the control of the variable return speed depending on your working conditions?
REMOTE CONTROL RADIO SIGNALS
Do you enjoy poor performing radio signals that drop our and stop you from doing your job?
Or do you think that the latest technology radio signals powerful enough to give 2km line of sight would be better suited to your job?
TROUBLESHOOTING
Would you like to make long tiring phone calls for help whilst you're in the field if something goes wrong?
Or would you prefer to simply view the 'on-board diagnostics' on your control panel to help with on-field troubleshooting and get back to work quicker?
DURABILITY
Would you like a big antenna that is prone to breaking and being snapped off? Or do want to experience new technology with the antenna built-in to the controls and protected from the elements that won't let you down?
Do you fancy buying a hose reel that rusts quickly? Or do you want bang for your buck, with a fully galvanised and powder-coated reel designed for longevity?
WARRANTY
One or two years warranty? Or a full three year warranty?
The choice is yours but there is a reason why the Buddy Smart Reel is the #1 electric rewind hose reel on the market!
