ReunionG Swimming Pool Cover Reel Set, 16-18FT Adjustable Length, Pool Blanket Roller w/Heavy-Duty Hand Crank & 8 Strap & Clip Kits, Aluminum Solar Inground Cover Blanket Reel on Wheels (18 Feet)

This unit was welded metal, not plastic frame which would almost certainly fail in the Florida sun due to plastic fatigue. Very easy to use, and to move away when not in use. Great product, good value.

works great but to small for my solar blanket bent in middle

Works great and very good construction, I am happy with product.

I compared a lot of reels before settling on this one. I took a chance since it didn’t have any reviews yet but I was not disappointed. They are all very similar so I narrowed my search down to two things. Price and the tee connection on the end pieces. Some appear to have plastic tee connectors that seem to me like something that could fail in the future with no easy fix. This one has TIG welded tee connections that look nicer and should last forever. They all have a lot of plastic fittings but nothing on this one that I don’t feel that I could repair when the time comes. The plastic hubs on the wheels were average but the tires were surprisingly thick and heavy, with a quality feel. Some crank wheels, on the others, have bright colors but this one is black and grey. Looks nice without standing out like a sore thumb. Packed with very heavy duty vinyl end protectors on the tubes so everything arrived in perfect condition. If I had it to do over, this is still the one I would buy.
