Rokan electrics and manuals come in different styles. Simple design and easy to work on. I have had no problems at all with my electric reel in 4 years.
You can get them powder coated as an option or you could paint one with a good durable coating in different color if you want to dress them up.
I wish that someone had a reasonably priced electric stainless vac hose reel.
Not familiar with Plain sol reels.
