Suncast SWA100 100 Foot Garden Hose Capacity Wall Mounted Sidetracker Hose Reel Taupe – Reviews

I OWN A SUNCAST 1OO. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS. IT IS SUPER HANDY FOR STRINGING OUT THE HOSE WHERE A LOT OF HOSE IS REQUIRED TO BE FED OUT. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM IN THAT THE PLASTIC FITTING THAT ROTATES ON THE WATER ‘SNOUT’ CRACKED AND AFTER A WHILE THE ‘O’ RINGS GET LOOSE AND ALLOW THE WATER TO LEAK PROFUSELY WHEN THE WATER IS TURNED ON. THAT HAS BEEN BOTHERSOME , BUT WHEN IT WAS NEW IT WAS A GEM. ONE OTHER CAUTION:MAKE SURE THE WHEEL IS FASTENED SECURELY TO THE HOUSE SIDING OR WHATEVER SO THAT THE WHEEL DOESN’T WOBBLE WHEN YOU REEL IN THE HOSE.

Since I wanted a sleek and inexpensive side mounted garden hose reel, I bought this Suncast model. At first it appeared to work well, but revealed its underlying structural weakness over not much time and sun exposure. Its plastic hub/axle is too thin and weak to hold even 75 feet of 5/8 inch hose. Within 9 months time, I ended up replacing this entire unit twice and even got a free replacement hub from Suncast on attempt #3. There is NO WAY you will be able to fit 100 feet of 5/8 inch hose on this reel because my 75 feet of hose was almost spilling over! The hose connection within the reel developed a fierce squirting leak due to the Boa effect. You should not reel in the hose with the pressure turned off. Otherwise when you turn the pressure back on with the hose reeled in, the hose will act like a Boa and constrict the hose reel apart along with crushing and crimping the hose connection within the reel. While I am sure the Boa effect occurs with other hose reels too, I am

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.
