 plastic, plastic, plastic May 25, 2000
By John W. Ruwwe, Jr.
not a good buy. the plastic connection between the main hose and the wheel typically leaks and when you really try and screw it down, the plastic threads tear. go metal if possible.

Will last one season! Jan 17, 2001
By John E. Searles
I wish Amazon, Lowe's, Meijer's and the other chains would carry all steel reels with brass fittings and a quality baked enamel finish. My parent's steel reel lasted 20+ years. The threaded plastic connector failed on my reel and now water sprays in all directions. I can't find a steel model anywhere, including the internet. Will probably revert to a simple wall mounted hose hanger.

second year May 25, 2003
By Thomas Kopacz
Product works fine no trouble with it the first year, this spring the first time I turned on the water it leaked like a down pour. The rubber O rings had dried out. No problem I thought right. Just run over to the hardware or Home Depot and pick up two .20 cent O rings. Ha I have been to Home Depot, hardware stores, auto parts, plumbing supply ect. No one has the .20 cent O rings to fix this product. So you have a big leak or go buy a new hose reel !

Absolutely worthless Jul 24, 2008
By Robert Tonsing
First off, the mounting hardware was totally inadequate, it just pulled out of the wall until I reinstalled with much bigger screws. The problem is a single screw at the top holds most of the weight. Once I got that fixed, the reel leaked some, which wasn't a big deal.
Then after only 3 months, the reel literally fell apart, the plastic breaking from the weight of the hose. The hose was 100 ft. 5/8 in., exactly what it is supposed to hold. The warranty only covers replacement, but why would I want another piece of junk?

 Lasts for a few months, then breaks Aug 07, 2007
By Just a guy
The fatal flaw with the design of this hose reel is that it can not support the weight of a 100' hose full of water. The first problem was that the wheel part wanted to separate from the spindle due to the weight of hose. Finally the part you screw to the wall gave way and broke in half after about a year. This is a waste of money - anything plastic is essentially junk. I have now replaced it with a full metal version from another maker that was about three times the price. It looks like it will work forever. Also, this reel BARELY is able to hold 100ft of 5/8" hose. It is probably more suited for 50 or 75ft. If I had it to do all over again, I would have purchased a quality reel the first time.
