 We Bought Two - Big Mistake! May 25, 2008
By Banty Lover
We bought two of these hose reels for the front and back of our house. The first one broke after two years of use when the inner hose elbow split down the middle. The second one broke when the outside hose connection snapped. Although replacement parts are available from the manufacturer, these units are not designed for easy disassembly and replacement of parts. You can waste a lot of precious weekend time trying to fix these units. Unfortunately, I now have two hunks of plastic that seemed destined for the landfill. What a shame.

Broken within one week Sep 03, 2005
By D. A. Uhen
I bought one of these at a local hardware store and it was broken within one week. The mechanism for spooling the hose onto the reel broke off. It is still usable without it but now the hose gets trapped between the reel and the inside wall. Poor design.

 Works Well But Did Not Last Jul 05, 2006
By Randolph J. Mayer
Mine leaked after two years at the seal point on the reel. I would not buy another one after examining how this is put together. Best for someone who likes to buy new things every two years or who enjoys ordering parts and making repairs to cheap plastic items.

Nice idea, but workmanship and reliability lacking. Nov 03, 2006
By Roger Knutson

This is a fantastic product to reel in hoses without tangle. However, I have had several parts come apart or not fun ction properly.
The hose fitting popped out, and the handle does not latch.

Wrong-headed Engineering Jul 07, 2011
By Nittany Heel
I knew the first time I reeled up my hose with this product that the excessive flex in the plastic handle and the shear on the plastic gear and reel were going to send this baby to its life cycle grave in weeks. (My spouse bought this reel sight unseen.) Sure enough, after two weeks, the reel sheared off as I was winding in a whopping 25 feet of empty hose. The design would work fine if a light weight metal alloy was used for the handle-gear-reel assembly, leaving the body to the cheap plastic, but that would probably put the price beyond what wholesale buyers are willing to put on the shelves at big box stores. Buy up the food chain--by the time you replace this one once you are already in the price category of a nicer, more durable hose reel.
