 not a long-term product |
| Review Date: August 13, 2009 |

I bought this item about six months ago. From the very beginning, it leaked where the hose connects to the container. It wasn't a big leak but we were unable to stop the leak no matter how many times we tried, including using Teflon tape and rubber washers.
I also had the same problems that other reviewers mentioned: the hose kinked when rolled up; I need to open the top to guide the hose when I rewind it; the container is very lightweight and moves around when you unwind the hose.
I bought a new hose last week. When I tried to connect it to the box, there is no way to get a good connection--the threads will not line up--and now small leak is a major leak.
I'm not going to bother getting another one of these things. I'll find another way to store the garden hose. |
Lightweight hose reel

| Smooth, seamless transaction. The reel is quite lightweight so it does move around when reeling in the hose. Works ok for me for the price! |
Poor design and construction

| It starts with the way that the hose is attached to the internal spindle, both of my hoses kink inside the reel at the connection. Next, when you start to pull the hose out the box will move all over the place because the weight of the hose is the only thing keeping it in place. Now don't even try to use it for bringing in the hose. You actually have to open the top each and every time to guide the hose around the spindle or it will bunch the hose and become too large for the box and I'm only using a 50ft hose!! When reeling in you also need to hold the box down by either having someone help you or you need to possible sit on top of it so it won't move all around. Mine is going back. Useless. |
Too flimsy

| Advertised that it will hold a 100' hose, but in reality you should not go for more than 50'. Too light and as there is no hose guide the hose gets tangled when you wind it on. However it looks neat, and is ok for the money if you can put up with the frustration of winding the hose on and off. My advice, spend a few dollars more and get one of the more substantial Suncast models, they are great. |
OK, But.....

| I already have a hose hideaway (the one with the controlled reel) and bought a smaller one for other side of house. What a difference a few dollars makes; this one is OK, but very flimsy. It does have holes to anchor it down, which is essential as the hose weighs more than the reel! |
