A hose reel having a lower frame assembly with two side frame assemblies and a handle assembly with arms that are disposed in-line with the side frame assemblies is provided. The handle assembly includes two annular couplings, one disposed at the distal end of each handle assembly arm. The annular couplings include a circular opening. These openings may be disposed about the axis of rotation of a basket assembly, about which the hose is wound, and/or the rotational coupling between the basket assembly and the frame assembly. Having a handle assembly coupling at this location reduces the amount of torque between the handle assembly and the frame assembly when the hose reel is being pushed/pulled. Further, as the handle assembly arms are in line with the side frame assemblies, this configuration is generally considered more attractive than the offset handles of the prior art.
