What Customers Are Saying
The product has mixed reviews. On the positive side, it is an affordable and compact option for storing a garden hose, with well-made metal fittings and a smooth crank mechanism. However, the majority of reviews indicate significant quality and design issues. The lightweight plastic construction is prone to cracking, breaking, and warping, especially with heavier hoses. The manual hose guide is ineffective, and the unit is prone to tipping over or sliding around. Overall, while it may work for light, occasional use, most users found it to be a poor value and not durable enough for regular, long-term use.

Would Not RecommendThis hose reel fell apart after about 8 months and I didn't use it that frequently
plastic reel will not hold up to heavy hose.
Would Not RecommendSeemed to be doing fine at first but once I added the second 50' of hose it started to get harder to wind up and ended up breaking the reel on the inside of the box. Would not recommend with heavy duty long hose.

Another broken reel
Would Not RecommendI bought this one about 1 1/2 years ago and purposely bought a lightweight gauge hose because two other hose reels had busted. I've had it all the way out like 2 times and today I went to use it and it was broken on the inlet side, effectively pinching off the supply. I don't understand why these are so crappy, but not a lot of alternatives. I will submit a warranty claim, just don't hope I end up here again!

Not worth the time and money. Buy something else.
Would Not RecommendIt broke in the middle causing a lot of other issues.
Easy to rewind
Would RecommendI have bought three of these now. They have held up very well (oldest one is probably 5 years old now, maybe older) and are really easy to wind. They are sturdy and the basket inside is handy.
