Not cheap with 10 year warranty but you won't find a better one. Also available at Amazon.

I have one of these:

It's convenient and sturdy. My parent have also had one for a few years with no issues.
Only drawback is the hose isn't a huge diameter so you don't get the volume like a large dia hose. Slight difference/nitpicking.
Plenty enough water, though.

I always found that wasp love to build a nest in them. Found out the hard way one time. 
Chunked that sucker in the trash can after that.

Never had a problem with the heave plastic ones, but those eleys look pretty nice.

I just roll my hoses up on the hanger.

Go to Lowes. They have 4 solid metal options: a metal 2 wheel cart, a metal box (deco to match outdoor furniture), and 2 metal wall mount reels - including one the swivels.
All metal options are more expensive, but in this case - you get what you pay for.
Regardless of what you buy, make sure it has a metal in/out tube (where hose connects to hose storage). 99% of leaks happen due to cross threading of metal on plastic.

These are the best money can buy. Stainless steel and will last a lifetime. I've ordered 3 from this guy and they are top notch. I've had two 110 and one 112 model premiums for years.

I bought the Eley hose reel plus a few other products from them about 2 months ago. The best heavy duty garden stuff you can buy.
