Ames True Temper 2384575 Reel Easy Auto Track Deck & Patio Hose
Ames True Temper 2384575 Reel Easy Auto Track Deck Patio Hose – Features
The Ames Reel Easy deck hose reel serves up some surprising new features–some good, some bad, depending on your needs. The reel’s sturdy all-poly box provides excellent, long-lasting protection for your hose during the winter months and can also serve as an outdoor tabletop in the summer. In addition, the innovative auto-track hose guide is a miracle invention: as you turn the hand crank, the hose feeds through a guide that moves along a riveted track, providing tangle-free, even winding. On the other hand, some might find the box design limiting: you can’t overwind the reel as you can with many other models, so you must be sure to use the right-size hose (the Reel Easy’s capacity is supposedly a lengthy 200 feet, but it varies according to hose thickness). Another design limitation is that the box is not transportable once the hose is attached–for that, get one of Reel Easy’s wheeled versions. Also, a built-in footrest at the bottom of the box fits only small feet at best (though it does provide some leverage when dispensing the hose), and the hand crank is back-strainingly low (about 1 foot off the ground at its lowest point), so you’ll need to prop the box atop something else. In terms of pull-out and put-away convenience, however, this is one of the best reels available to homeowners who use hose frequently.

Ames True Temper 2384575 Reel Easy Auto Track Deck Patio Hose – Reviews

I have had this hose reel for 5 years and did not have any problems. The unit is durable and works well. I did screw mine down to a little used corner of my deck with 4 3″ deck screws, 1 per “foot”. This keeps the unit stationary while reeling in my 150′ of hose. This year (year #6) the crank handle broke. I ordered a new one on the Ames website – and they send parts for free! Can’t ask for more than that!!

I have had this product for 6 years. In one word – excellent. Sits outside in the sun all day. Still works pretty well. Only minor cracks in the ABS plastic box – not bad after 6 years of abuse. The crank handle broke after four years of use. Called Aames – sent out a free replacement. Aames had actually improved the handle design to make them last longer. Now that is customer service! Made in the USA. You will pay a little more than the Chinese crap that is sold in Home Depot and other places. But then you wont need to pay another dime for many many years. The Aames story is the story of the made in China trap that we have gotten ourselves into. Be smart America – buy American and save and enjoy good reliable products!!!

This hose cart seems to be made very well. The hose winds up easily and evenly without much effort. It stored two 100′ hoses with no problem. I would definitely recommend this product.
