Why did you not get them to send you a replacement ?
Had mine 2 years never missed a beat.
There are expensive ones out there
HD power reel a happy medium

What's the footprint of the PF reel compared to their stainless steel manual reel? Would the electric one be a pain in the arse to lift in and out of the van when you need the space for other stuff? Are they a good deal heavier than the PF manual reels?

Yep they are fairly heavy...must be at least 20kg with 100m of hose on...

3d reel is worth the money IMHO
Need the old yellow switch though
Red one is crap
Ask the supplier for yellow switch or its only £12 ish from ebay etc
