ROBOREEL Portable Air Hose Reel with 40-ft Hose

I used to own one till i gave it away. Had i known how much it would have been to replace it, i might have thought twice about it. I absolutely loved this thing. It was fairly flawless. Sometimes when it would wind, it would seem to struggle under its own weight (of the hose), especially if the hose was wrapped around itself and a little tangled, but I suppose I get why. If it were much stronger, it may cause the hose to pull something over if it is caught up around an object. Would I buy another to replace the one that I didn't think would fit on the moving truck when I moved? Yes and no.Yes because it was so cool and handy. But because of the price, absolutely no! I got mine for $20 from Lowes. They went on clearence because no one was buying them. I watched every few days until the price dropped to $20 and I snatched it. Would I pay $125 for one of these? Perhaps, but not $300. If I have an extra $300 sitting around, I am going to buy a newer used band saw to replace the one I sold before moving, or maybe a dust collector, something of greater value to me. To me, the Roboreel, while totally cool, is a convenience thing and I don't have $300 to spend on a convenience thing.Yes, I will miss it terribly. And I am kicking myself for it now, but I gave it to a good friend and I fully expect that he will find it as cool as I did. If the price ever drops on these, snatch it up!!!And the 3 stars is due to the super high price, nothing more.
