 Good |
| Review Date: January 30, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Pamela Klaus, |
| This came almost over night and quickly. The only porblem was there were no washers with it for the hose hook ups and the directions weren't very good. Product is very nice looking and durable. |
Not worth $80

Suncast SSB200B is made from relatively lightweight plastic. For $80 I expected heavy built stuff. If it is not secured to the ground it will tip over when the hose is being pulled out and anything in the storage bin will topple out. My biggest complaint would be that the handle you use to reel up feels like it's ready to snap when you're reeling in a heavy hose. I only have about 100' of hose on it and I have to go pick up all the hose and carry it to the front of the box then I can reel it up.
My next complaint is as another reviewer mentioned, the arm the handle is connected to is too short making it take an extra long time to reel all the hose up. I can only imagine how tired my arm would get with a longer hose. I suspect this was part of the design to keep the flimsy plastic from breaking under the strain. With that said mine hasn't broken yet but only because I've been careful with it. The connections on it are still leak free and the storage box is a handy idea when the whole thing doesn't tip over. I wish I'd seen what I was buying beforehand, I would have spent more money for better quality and function. I don't recommend this product. |
Should have shopped off line-

| Paid way too much for a plastic box with a plastic reel inside. Over paid about $30.00 from Amazon and then really feel ripped off by how chintzy it looks. Waiting for housing gestapo to tell me it can't be in front. |
Not So Sure

| The jury is out on this one because my husband got completely frustrated trying to secure the base down with the stakes provided because the holes are so close to the unit you cannot use a hammer to drive them into the ground without scarring up the sides or even being able to hit the darn thing. If your ground is sand maybe it's not a big deal, but with hard ground it's a killer. I've yet to use it because without the stablizer stakes it will move around. Bummer. Seemed like a good idea at the time. |
Breaks easily weak

| It seemed like the answer to long hose winding but has weak hose reels that break easily. Supposed to hold 225 feet of hose. I had 100 ft of hose and it broke the reel in 3 months. Their service people say to always pull out all the hose, drain hose when done and rewind when hose is empty. This is not stated in instructions. And how inconveinent to do that every time with all that hose. Its just a excuse for a poorly designed, weakly made unit. The inner working aren't half as good as the outside is made. Oh well. will have to look further for a higher quality better made unit that lasts and is conveinent to use. The garden shop told me they are discontinued and wont have any more. Suncast said they didnt think they were discontinued. So it seems the retail stores dont want to deal with the problems associated with these units and dont want to bother with them any longer. If they were any kind of company they would recall them and replace them with some that last. So if your time is worthless and you like to repair or try to exchange units, this is the one for you. |
