WOW! - Man, was this thing ver hard to set up! It took days to get it set up and adjusted, but once it was set up, it is easy to use. My problem is that I have a VERY COMPACT area to set up in with the pool 3 feet from the house on TWO sides and ZERO feet from my upper driveway! I live in the Appalachian mountains just below the peak of the ridge. In other words, my site is vertical! Getting the cover reel positioned was nearly impossible because of the space constraints. I'm going to have to saw off the stationary leg and mount it on a swivel attached to the driveway retaining wall so I can swing it out of the way when not in use. I still have some fine tuning to do, but this pool cover reel is just what I needed! I used to spend 15 minutes or more folding the pool cover, and even more time unfolding it to cover the pool when done swimming. Now? It takes 15 SECONDS to put the pool cover away, and less than 30 seconds to cover the pool again! What an improvement! A full half hour a day saved for better use! I love it! A friendly tip though: use something sharp and about 1/4 inch diameter to punch the holes through the pool cover!!! The pool cover clips are impossible for me to attach to the pool cover because I don't have enough hand strength. The only way I could install the clips was to poke a hole through both layers of the pool cover so I could snap the clips closed. Using something to poke the hole through made all the difference. Another point: You have to FOLD the pool cover to attach the clips. That will reduce the size of your pool cover by about an inch and a half. If you've trimmed your pool cover to the exact size of the pool, your pool cover will be a little bit too small. I started by buying a brand new pool cover, which I have NOT isntalled! I used my existing pool cover as a guinea pig because I knew from the sketchy instructions that I would be experimenting for a while to get thet pool cover reel set up and tuned for my pool. I'm VERY glad I did! I've had to readjust the clips about 6 times so far, and I may do it a couple more times before I'm fully satisfied. Another HUGE point! I have an 18 foot round pool. It turns out that is an IRREGULAR install! I started with the reel in the center of the pool. BAD IDEA!!! To get the pool cover reel to perform as I wanted I had no choice but to install the reel WAY off center! It is now mounted 1/4 the way from one side of the pool, and it works MUCH better mounted off center! If you have a square or rectangular pool, you would probably want to mount the reel about a foot off of the edge of the pool so you can roll it from the end of the pool. If your pool is round, oval, or has a designer shape like a kidney shape, you have to use the "irregular" mounting method. Yes, initial setup and tuning is a bit of a pain, but that's how life works. Anything worthwhile comes at a price. For the CONVENIENCE this pool cover reel delivers, it is MORE than worth the effort! I am giddily happy with it! Review: Fantastic Pool Reel at a Great Price - Read My Detailed Review - 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 desertcart: 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 desertcart 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. ## Features - Important Notice.To prevent damage to pool cover roller and accessories during shipping, such as crushing or impact, we will ship them in separate packages.

I also felt customer support was non existent. **Q: My wife and i just unpackaged a vingli, but there are no written instructions. are there instructions available on line or?** A: Did anyone every get back with help on those instructions? We don’t have then either and the outer/inner tube part seems way too long and is not sturdy with only a foot or so overlapping. Don’t even have a cover in it and it’s sagging! And help would be great. Company has not responded to mey nquiry. I can’t believe they are not online **Q: Will this fit 18x40 pool or should I go with the 21ft??** A: Go with the larger one. I have mine stretched out to 16 feet for a 14 foot wide cover. Stretching it out to the Max of 18 feet, it will work but tends to sag in the middle and you will need the extra foot on each side because the cover will not always roll up exactly in the same place every time especially if its a little breezy when you roll it up. It is a one person operation but, its always nice to have an extra person to help on windy days. Remember to go slow and it will work great. I love mine it works great but, I lay mine down when the pool is covered because the wind tends to get under the cover and pull the reel over. So YES, always go bigger. Hope this helps...enjoy. **Q: Can this roller be cut down to 11' ?** A: My pool is 11.75 Feet wide. I wanted it cut to like 12 feet So it’s on my handyman’s list. But after using it I’m realizing the extra couple inches I was allowing for isn’t really enough the reel needs to be very close to the edge to get my length of 35/36 ft so I decided to allow for a foot over on each side I’m going to cut it to 14 feet ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This reel savers me over 30 minutes a day I used to spend fooling with the pool cover!

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - VINGLI Pool Cover Reel Set Pool Solar Cover Reel for Inground Swimming Pool, Aluminum Solar Swimming Inground Cover Blanket Reel (Upgrade) (18 Feet) - VINGLI 12Mil Solar Pool Cover 16x32FT Rectangle Solar Blanket for Inground Pool and Above-Ground Swimming Pool, Blue (16' x 32') --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/63359263-vingli-18ft-pool-cover-reel-solar-cover-reel-for-inground](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/63359263-vingli-18ft-pool-cover-reel-solar-cover-reel-for-inground) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
