Inexpensive Hose storage   Review Date: July 2, 2010 Reviewer: Wilfredo M. Viray, Orange County, CA I bought mine from Home Depot. I use this with my 3/4 Inch 50 foot Industrial hose and it works well. It saves me from having to coil it around the hose hanger. My hose is back in the box within 30 seconds. It also looks nice. It is light, so press down on it with one hand and then crank the hose back with my other hand. All in all an ok product. Garbage   Review Date: June 13, 2010 Reviewer: Coronet Blue, California There are so many things wrong with this (admittedly cheap) hose reel its hard to know where to start. Yes, it tips over as soon as you pull on the hose, but you have to get that far. Your journey begins with trying to thread your hose onto the reel. Everything here is plastic, of course. I tried 2 different hoses and each time it took a half dozen tries to attach the hose without cross threading onto the brittle plastic fitting in the reel. If you get that far, the next challenge is winding the hose. As you can see, the more expensive reels have something that's essential--a guide that guides the hose onto the reel. On this unit, you are the guide and you'd better be precise or you will never get 100 feet of hose on the reel. But the fun is just beginning. While you are hand-wrapping the hose around the reel, the entire unit is dancing around. So, with one hand you guide the hose, with your other hand you hold the box steady and with your third hand, you turn the crank. And by the way, if you're thinking of weighting the unit so it doesn't move and tip over, you can't because they were careful not to allow any extra space so there's no place to put a brick or something heavy. I think I'll stop here but you get the idea. I'm not sure if I want to spend over $100 to get a hose reel that works so I may just go back to dropping the hose on the ground and walking away. So Glad I Purchased!   Review Date: June 9, 2010 Reviewer: Kelly L. Creighton, NPR FL I bought three products in tandem, all three of which will be reviewed here: Suncast PHJ100M Garden Hose Reel Hideaway with 100-Foot Hose Capacity, Apex 8690-50 NeverKink Landscaper 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Professional Duty Hose, and Suncast 8-Inch Metal Garden Stakes, Silver. I have a vegetable garden which I expand twice per year. I tend this garden every single day, so it is important that the tools I use work well. I have owned a couple of the cheapest hoses which can be purchased at Walmart. My thought was: "I don't care if it pops a hole, I can just replace it for $15. I don't want to spend $35-50 on a hose and have it be just the same." I have learned - it's not just the same. I don't care if the cheap hose explodes from pressure. What it has cost me dearly is TIME and FRUSTRATION. I can spend 20 minutes laying the cheap hose out straight, and have it kink even when in a straight line. A slight curve closes off the hose, so I spent more time trying to un-kink the hose and regulate water flow than I spent watering my vegetables. What took me 45 minutes or more with a cheap hose took me 25-35 minutes with a five gallon carboy, filling it four gallons at a time and carrying it around my garden. And it takes me a mere 15 minutes with Apex's never kink hose, and Suncast's hose hideaway. Instead of fighting with the hose to get it to lay straight, Apex's hose just lays there, like a hose should. I spool it out of the hideaway, it lays straight. I spool it onto the hideaway, it coils straight. It doesn't fight me, it doesn't kink, I water my garden at the maximum flow of my nozzle without having to go back and try to fix the hose. The hideaway definitely requires the stakes - otherwise the hose itself is heavier than the hideaway and the motion of my pulling would move the hideaway itself. The steaks can be pulled out of the ground if I tug *up* on the hideaway.. but my motion is normally lateral as I pull out the hose. Granted, I can't crank the handle to put away the hose as if I were playing a game on the Price Is Right - you do have to guide the hose onto the spool in a tidy manner, but now that I have a hose that just behaves as a hose should, this isn't a problem and takes only a couple of minutes at most. Buying these three items has literally cut the time I spend watering my garden in half. I was worried by all the reviews of how "cheap" the hideaway is - it works just fine with the stakes. It keeps the sun off my hose so UV rays can't degrade the plastic, it coils the hose faster and more efficiently than I could around a regular/stationary garden hose "butler" or stand, and since I took care to thread the hoses on without stripping the plastic I have experienced no leaks at all. The no-kink hose is truly a wonder, it NEVER fights me, resists movement, or kinks. I highly recommend all three of these products; as long as you take very basic care with their use they work wonderfully. Falls over easily   Review Date: June 3, 2010 Reviewer: cac, chicago I have mine in a area on the side of my house. It frequently falls over but also looks nice sitting out. Would buy it again probably better on a flat surface garden hoose reel   Review Date: May 6, 2010 Reviewer: Lori Simon, Big Rock, illinois United States it was here so fast and man its great to have the hoses not showing and laying on the ground...nice construction and very durable looke great too!!!!!
