VINGLI Pool Cover Reel Set Pool Solar Cover Reel for Inground Swimming Pool, Aluminum Solar Swimming Inground Cover Blanket Reel (Upgrade) (21 Feet)

The media could not be loaded. OK, so this Reel is Fantastic! I received both boxes with all the correct pieces. People have gave this bad reviews because they did not receive both boxes. It's easy to contact the seller and they will fix that, giving it a bad review because that is a joke. Next, people have given this bad reviews because it's light weight, and falls in the pool while unrolling/ROLLING or blows in the pool on windy days. It is not heavy and made of aluminum and plastic What those people did not see is the seller recommends sand bags to act as an anchor, and I bought a four pack of these on Amazon: ABCCANOPY Sandbag Saddlebag Photography Weight Bags for Video Stand,4 Packs (Black) - and filled them with, two of these from a big box hardware store: 0.5-cu ft Brown Pea Pebbles Gravel for 3.98 a bag. This Reel went together in about 30 minutes or maybe less it was very easy to put together. Now I ordered the 18 foot reel but my Deck tops out at about 14 Feet and my pool measurements, i.e. water area is 35 long by 12 wide. I thought since it expanded up to 18 feet wide I could make it go smaller to 12 feet wide, but nope the smallest it will go is 14 feet wide. The wheels look OK and I could see them breaking over time if left out exposed to the sun and elements or being rough on them. I am going to have the lady of the house make some covers to put over the wheels because out here in Southern AZ the sun beats up everything exposed no matter how well it's made or not. Some of the plastic parts I am going to rate at 4 stars durability wise. It maneuvers OK it's not bad at all I will give it 4 stars maneuverability wise. I am using a heavy 16mil Midwest Canvas 36 x 18 cover on mine, that has been cut down to 35 x 12 and have NO SAG in the middle what so ever like some people have complained about. I think since my reel is only expanded to 14 feet the tubing I am not extending is acting as reinforcement which is great. So if your pool is say 18 feet wide, buy the 21 foot reel and the tubing not used for expansion will act as reinforcement. I am in a wheel chair so my whole goal buying a reel and cover was to make it easy for the lady of the house to take this off and on all by her self, and as you can see in the video she can reel it right up no problem. I have a second video of her unrolling it but Amazon only lets one video per review, and in that video she can unroll it no problem all on her own. I have moved my reel closer to the pool so the cover is not scraping the deck when rolling and unrolling. With the sand bags filled with pea pebbles anchoring the reel this works like a breeze, I honestly think people don't follow instructions building this, missed seeing sandbags to anchor it, or are just clueless. The attaching clips and straps that come with it work great as well. I thought it might come with junky clips to attach to the cover but the clips are really good. I highly recommend this reel it works great and when we showed our neighbor's wife video of how this works she was like, ''send me the link, my husband makes me take ours off a certain way, fold it a certain way, and then put it back on gently,'' and she goes ''I want that reel you have because it's a pain every time we want to swim to have to remove the cover with out a reel'' This reel is fantastic!-NOTE-1: My yard is under constriction we removed all the rock from both sides of our pool and are adding hardscape stone.-NOTE-2: I may edit this review if something breaks and adjust my rating but right now it's 5 STARS-NOTE-3: The Sandbags may fade over time, but who cares as long as it holds the reel or they can be replaced.

I love how easy this works to cover and uncover the pool, even by myself! I have a 16' x 32' pool and it was difficult for me to cover and uncover the pool by myself. It went together easily and seems sturdy. I have not had it bolted down to anything (mine is sitting on concrete) and only had it tip on me once when I was trying to reel it in too quickly. If I use smooth steady turns it stays in place. I definitely recommend this and wish I had bought it sooner!

Title: Effective and Practical Pool Cover Reel SetThe VINGLI Pool Cover Reel Set for Inground Swimming Pools has been a valuable addition to our pool maintenance routine. While it's not perfect, it certainly gets the job done.First and foremost, this pool cover reel set is sturdy and well-constructed. It feels like it can handle the wear and tear of regular use, which is essential for a pool cover reel. The included hardware and instructions made assembly relatively straightforward, and I was able to set it up with minimal hassle.The reel system operates smoothly and is easy to use. Rolling and unrolling the solar cover is a breeze, and it has significantly reduced the time and effort required to cover and uncover our pool. This convenience alone has made it a worthwhile investment.The set also includes straps and clips to secure the cover, which is a nice touch. It helps keep the cover in place during windy conditions, ensuring it does its job effectively. The cover itself appears to be of decent quality and provides good solar heat retention.However, there are a couple of areas where this product could be improved. The included wheels are somewhat small, making it a bit challenging to move the reel around, especially on uneven surfaces. It would be great if they were larger for improved maneuverability. Additionally, the included instructions could be more detailed, as I found myself needing to make a few adjustments during installation due to unclear guidance.Overall, the VINGLI Pool Cover Reel Set serves its primary purpose of making pool cover management more efficient and less physically demanding. While it's not without its minor drawbacks, the value it adds to pool maintenance makes it a solid choice, especially considering its price point. With a few enhancements in design and instructional clarity, it could easily earn a full 5-star rating.

We had to replace our old broken pool reel after 6 years of use. This time around I chose to spend a little extra money and get a better product. Our previous reel’s wheel axel broke because it was plastic. This product is solid metal down to the axel with no plastic connection. Another thing that makes this feel better is the straps. Instead of sticking them straps on with 3m adhesive like our old reel this product’s straps slide right in! The clips on this product are much better as well. They click when connected and are much easier to connect to the pool blanket. This is an all around better product and I’m extremely happy about my purchase!

The 3 section aluminum is great and keeps it from sagging. Tip to measure.. Determine the overall length for your pool. Measure the center section and subtract that. Then divide by two for the length of the left and right sections. Measure again. Some mentioned problems with the screws that fasten these sections together. One review mentioned using pop rivets. That is the perfect solution and was easy to do. If you don't have a tool, $10 at Harbor Freight will get you one that works just fine to fasten these together.The straps to attach the cover are well designed and follow a channel in the tubes. No Velcro, they just slide in and then the plastic clamps attach to the pool cover.Easy to move around after rolling up the cover. Easy to roll it back into place to put the cover back on the pool.

Me cambio la vida. Excelente

Llegó con la caja muy maltratada y con bolsa de tornillos abierta, al revisar las partes faltaban muchos tornillos, eso hizo difícil el armado, se reportó con el vendedor pero no tenían solución más que la devolución completa del enrollador, tuve que buscarlos por fuera ya que el resto de las piezas estaban bien. El armado es fácil si tienes las herramientas adecuadas, las instrucciones no son muy claras. La calidad de los materiales está bien y se ve muy resistente para lo que se necesita.Si la recomiendo con el riesgo de que te lleguen piezas faltantes.
