Power up are thay worth it and how easy to fit plus electrics :o
-
Well worth it in my opinion, gives me a little rest in between jobs while reeling in.
Once set up rarely needs any maintainance and to wire up its only a live and earth with a fuse and switch thrown in the line unless you want to throw a wireless switch in but for me personally I like to be at van with a rag holding hose while pressing button!!
One of the best things I put in my set up ;)

Very good sturdy product I think he know does a better reel version these days,as said it takes minutes to fix it to your setup providing you pay for it to come assembled I wouldn't buy one no already assembled it looks a complete nightmare to put together from scratch.
-
Just for the fat and lazy aren't they ? ;D
but seriously,don't know much about these.
Can you adjust speed of them ?
If the hose snags on something does the the motor cut out ?
-
I love mine :)
-
i have had one of these for a bout 18mnths you have to keep keep a eye on them they get snagged easy. and a ball ache to untangle the hose when warm is a pain when winding in its like trying to wrap a snake. also when hose is full its needs a bit off a helping hand.having said all that its better than reeling by hand .but its over priced imo/but you don't have to buy one
-
if you have a decent fixed reel in your van its virtually effortless to reel in your hose.
ive got a redashe reel in mine.its so smooth and fast.power up reel is defo not needed.
-
you wont be saying that when you have r s i ;D
-
I need one .
Will get one one day
-
You need one for reeling in Seank
-
I have my reel fitted to the inside of the roof, it's so easy to wind in, I can understand it more if your reel is not fitted down as this takes a lot more effort to reel in, and you find yourself having to hold the reel down with ur foot

Water works £199.00 including VAT

Had the power UPHD (fixed one) for about 3 months. Had a few issues. Unwinding itself and hose slipped a few times and chain came off.
I will say this
Wouldn't be without one. I am old, fat and lazy. My joints are screwed and this saves my life
-
you wont be saying that when you have r s i ;D
why would i get r s i?lots of working days i only reel in 3 or 4 times a day
-
What ???
-
Waiting for the Dazmondo thread "Got myself a PowerUp, best thing i've ever bought, makes my working life so easy. I can do 9 more houses a day now"
-
I remember the days when men were men not wimps... how hard can it be to hand wind a real in surely? ;D
-
why make life hard for yourself when you can make it easy, the way i see it is we all want to use better brushes, lighter stronger poles etc then why not upgrade the reel too?
worth every penny in my mind and after just finishing a really dirty first clean or big commercial theres nothing better than pressing a button and guiding all that hose in without having to manually reel it in ;D
-
plus quicker time is money ;D , why would you buy a lighter pole cos its better than lugging the old alli type .
-
i have to say before i decided to buy one i couldnt see it making much difference to my day but i wouldnt be without one now.
its like using a carbon over an non carbon pole, you wouldnt go back :)
-
Very happy with mine
-
The standard one is not good with hot water.
-
mines been ok pal, ive had to adjust my pressure cut off on pump as it was too pressurised expanding the water manifold in the centre of the reel but its been bang on since i adjusted it!
what problems have u had with hot water and powerup?
-
great bit of kit in my opinion
