I've seen a thread on this before but can't find it. I need to get one and don't know which one would be the best. Does anyone have any opinions on which is the best brand and where to best buy one? I saw a couple at Lowes this morning, but didn't know which would be the best buy. Anybody?

automatic hose reeler
My DH bought one last year that uses the water pressure to reel itself back in. Works pretty good, just be sure to anchor it well. I don't know how much it cost, but was probably not inexpensive knowing my DH.
What's the brand name?
It's called No Crank.
Here's their web site. http://www.no-crank.com/
I bought one last year and while not perfect, it is a lot easier than hauling and winding the hose yourself. I second Morganc's recommendation to anchor it to a wall. I haven't yet, and mine tends to "walk" across the patio if the hose gets stuck while reeling in.
Got mine at Lowe's for about $85 I think.
