This hose reel simply does not work. It’s nice that it’s all metal, except the most important parts, the threads. The price is also good, but this item just doesn’t work. I put it all together (just throw away the instructions) and I hooked the hose up to it to try it out and immediately the connection hose that attaches to the swiviling bracket blew off allowing water to run everywhere. Awful.

There is no comparable hose reel I’ve found for anything less than 3x the price, but it does have some serious flaws that could be deal breakers for a lot of people.

1. Your hose attaches along the axis of the reel and has to turn 90 degrees in a very short space. This is just poor design. It means that unless you have a very light weight hose, it’s probably going to kink. My old (cheap) hose kinked in 2 places. If I want to use the reel at all, I’ll have to buy one of those 1/2″ laundry machine extension hoses. They actually give you one but it’s for attaching the reel to the hose bib. Maybe I’ll just use a regular hose for that…

2. Everyone has said the instructions are terrible. You can figure things out with some thought.
TIPS: The short bolts are used for attaching the plastic hose connector and plastic crank connector to the center of the reel and they use the flat nuts. (8 short bolts + 8 flat nuts).
The longer bolts & locking nuts are used for attaching the han

This reel is the design we were looking for at an affordable price. It is very similar to our old reel that we used and liked for more than a decade. The new reel works great with no initial leaks. An hour plus of assembly was a bit more than expected. We think the inlet hose swivel joint should be more robust. Otherwise, the reel seems sturdy and is good looking with the metal tubing and reel painted tan. We recommend this reel cart to others.
