1. A hose reel comprising: a housing defined by at least (A) two base members (111-112);(B) a right-side set of four rods (131-134) located on a right side of the housing and interconnected by a first set of one or more rotatable disk (181, 182) and forming a right-side X-shape of four rods; and(C)
1. A hose reel comprising: a housing defined by at least (A) two base members (111-112);(B) a right-side set of four rods (131-134) located on a right side of the housing and interconnected by a first set of one or more rotatable disk (181, 182) and forming a right-side X-shape of four rods; and(C) a left-side set of four rods (135-139) located on left side of the housing and interconnected by a second set of one or more rotatable disk (183, 184) and forming a left-side X-shape of four rods;wherein the right-side X-shape of four rods (131-134) is parallel to the left-side X-shape of four rods (135-138);a spool rotatably disposed within the housing, wherein the spool is adapted to connect to a flexible hose; wherein a longest dimension of said spool is parallel to each of said two base members (111-112);wherein each rod of the right-side set of four rods (131-134) is perpendicular to said longest dimension of said spool;wherein each rod of the left-side set of four rods (135-138) is perpendicular to sais longest dimension of said spool;a winding mechanism to rotate the spool and to coil the flexible hose around the spool; anda plurality of rollers associated with said housing, each roller connected to a respective rod,wherein each of said rollers is able (a) to rotate during coiling of the flexible hose around the spool, and (b) to push the flexible hose towards a center of the hose reel and away from the respective rod connected to said each roller;wherein at least one of the plurality of rollers is covered with external protrusions forming one or more tread patterns to push the flexible hose away from the respective rod connected to said at least one of the rollers;wherein the plurality of rollers comprise: (i) a right-side set of four rollers (141-144) inter-connected and forming a right-side X-shape of four rollers, and (ii) a left-side set of four rollers (145-148) inter-connected and forming a left-side X-shape of four rollers;wherein the right-side X-shape of four rollers (141-144) is parallel to the left-side X-shape of four rollers (145-148);wherein each roller of the right-side set of four rollers (141-144) is perpendicular to a long dimension of said spool;wherein each roller of the left-side set of four rollers (145-148) is perpendicular to said long dimension of said spool. 2. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein at least one of said rollers is partially internal to a respective rod of said rods. 3. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein at least one of said rollers is external to a respective rod of said rods. 4. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein each one of the rollers is able to facilitate coiling of the flexible hose around the spool, by pushing the flexible hose away from the housing. 5. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein one or more of said rollers are formed as one or more, respective, of said rods which are integral to said housing. 6. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein a shape of the housing comprises an “X” shape. 7. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein the hose reel is foldable in response to a snapping motion which rotates the first set of one or more rotatable disks and the second set of one rotatable disks. 8. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein in an open position, each one of the rods of the right-side set of four rods is generally perpendicular to each of two adjacent rods of said right-side set of four rods; and wherein in said open position, each one of the rods of the left-side set of four rods is generally perpendicular to each of two adjacent rods of said left-side set of four rods. 9. The hose reel of claim 8, wherein in a folded position, each one of the rods of the right-side set of four rods is generally parallel to two or more other rods of the right-side set of four rods; and wherein in said closed position, each one of the rods of the left-side set of four rods is generally parallel to two or more other rods of the left-side set of four rods. 10. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein the spool comprises a connector to detachably attach the flexible hose to the spool. 11. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein a lower part of the hose reel comprises two or more wheels to allow manual wheeling of the hose reel. 12. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein the winding mechanism comprises a fixed non-folding handle. 13. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein the winding mechanism comprises a multiple-position handle able to pivot from a raised position to a lowered position. 14. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein the winding mechanism comprises an electric motor. 15. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the spool, the housing, and the rollers is formed of plastic. 16. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein at least one of the spool, the housing, and the rollers is formed of one or more injected plastic materials. 17. The hose reel of claim 1, wherein all components of the hose reel are formed of plastic. 18.
