I’ve been using the VEVOR Pool Cover Reel for a while now, and overall, I’d say it’s a solid investment for anyone with an inground pool. First off, the aluminum frame feels sturdy yet lightweight, making it easy to maneuver. The rubber wheels roll smoothly, which is a big plus when adjusting the cover. It also comes with sandbags for extra stability—though, honestly, I didn’t feel the need to use them much. Assembly was a bit of a project. The instructions could have been clearer, and it took some time to put everything together. That said, once assembled, it works like a charm. Rolling the cover on and off is way easier than dealing with it manually, and the reel holds up well, even with a heavier solar cover. One thing to note: While it claims to fit pools from 4 to 18 feet wide, it works best on the wider end of that range. If you have a smaller pool, you might find it bulkier than necessary. For the price, this is a great option compared to more expensive brands. If you're looking for a budget-friendly pool cover reel that gets the job done, this is definitely worth considering! Pros: ✔ Sturdy aluminum build ✔ Smooth rubber wheels ✔ Makes handling a pool cover much easier ✔ Great value for the price Cons: ✖ Instructions could be clearer ✖ Assembly takes some patience ✖ May be a bit large for smaller pools Would I buy it again? Absolutely! It’s made pool maintenance way easier.
