Suncast PHH100D Hose Hideaway with 100 Foot Capacity Hose Reel – Reviews

I just purchased my Suncast 100 at Lowe’s and I’m here to see what else is out there. The idea makes good sense, of course, but the quality of the product is lacking. Using a 100ft premium (commercial) grade hose I was unable to pack all of the hose on unless it was loaded. That in itself cause many difficulties. Consider dragging a 100ft of hose loaded with water…..quite a task. So heavy was the hose that I had to perch myself on the box in a precarious way so 1)I can reel it, and 2)the box wouldn’t flop around. The latter problem probably can be resolved if you secure the box to the ground (but you still can see the box flex out of square with each turn). Moreover there is NO levelwind mechanism to evenly lay the hose on the reel. But the weight of the loaded hose at full length pretty much requires the use of 2 hands for cranking. The handle flexes and it is my opinion that it will be a short amount of time before it snaps. And even though there is a guide, you really

After 15 minutes of wrestling with this reel, I decided to return it. I have 100′ of 3/4" hose and this product is too flimsy to handle it – the box moves around when winding (too light) and the hose got stuck over the edge of the reel first time. It might be OK for a very lightweight hose, but after some research I’ve decided to spend the extra and get a Rapid Reel instead.

I have been searching for years for a hose reel that was not an eyesore. This unit is just what I have been looking for. It appears to be sturdily built and best of all, no assembly required! I have excellent water pressure in my home and have experianced no problem with a decrease in water force. However if you have low water pressure, you probably would not be happy with any hose reel. All the ones I have looked at have sharp bends in their internal plumbing. Anyway it is a good product and I plan to order another one for the back yard.
