I bought a couple nice looking hose reels on sale at Lowes. On sale for $34 each. Supposed to hold up to 175ft of 5/8's hose. All good. Till I got it home and tried to put our hose on it. I 'thought' 5/8's was the biggest size hose. I guess not. The 100ft hose I have would not even fit inside the 'box'. I had 20ft or so of hose that would not fit on the reel. See first pic to see the hose reel in question. It was tough to reel in the hose and not as stable as I had hoped. I also found I need the wheels cause that hose is heavy.
So I have two of these to return to Lowes next week and I'm looking for recommendations for a heavy duty hose reel. I found one on Amazon that looks like it might fit the bill but I prefer to see it and touch it before shelling out 99 bucks for a hose reel.

Any suggestions?
