Nice and smooth operation - Steel will last longer than plastic versions.
Nice and smooth winding action. I like this product after loosing my old plastic wall mount hose real to UV exposure and aging plastic I knew that I wanted a steel version so I would not have to buy another one again.
If I could have two optional items I would have paid for them. 1) a hose guide to help keep my hands clean when realing in and directing the hose to spool up nicely. 2) color options I would have liked a gray version and Read full review

OK if!
If you are mechanical, have tools and can fix/improve the piping aligning etc. it's works good. Spent about an hour fixing it. Had to bend the two wings in so they would be tight up against the ends of the drum. Put a large washer on the axle between the drum and flange holding it. Lubed the o rings with a special grease. Drill small hold in the bottom of the bell shaped hole that holds the drum to use a pointed grease gun to lube the axles since it has no real bearings just metal on metal. The supply hose very cheap lightweight, don't expect it to last long.Read full review

Pretty darn good
Like other reviews stated, you will have to disassemble it and take out the massive amount of Teflon tape. Only takes a couple minutes, but this has to be done. There was an incredible amount of tape and it wasn't even on the threads, it was shoved down in the pipes! This is quick and easy, only needed 2 adjustable wrenches, reapply the tape correctly and mount it to something solid. After that, I love this thing. Much, much better than any of the plastic ones I've had! Read full review

An excellent reel, not available currently in the UK, but expensive after paying carriage and duty.
The reel is well made and has a large capacity. The plastic reels are very stiff by comparison and have less capacity. Bought it from the US as the same reel offered by UK suppliers is always out of stock, but it works out at double the price.
Unfortunately the connector for the hose is a US thread and won't take UK hose connectors. If you remove it and fit a 1" x 3/4" brass adaptor (available on-line) it works fine.Read full review

REELY GOOD
I have been unable to find a good hose reel in the UK. The ones that look a bit like this (of which I have 2) are flimsy and rust quickly. Most are plastic and bright green. This is great. Solid, well-made, looks good and works well. I only say the value is not great because it has to come from the US and does cost quite a bit. BUT it is worth it. I have two now (one for about two years) and am very pleased. Quick delivery, no taxes. So yes, I am impressed. But why can't the UK import these things properly ?!!Read full review

hose reel itself out of level
When I mounted braket to wall (level & plumb). I got back and looked at the hose reel and noticed out of level bad...full bubble out in 2' level... Now me being in construction for 36 years I find that to be very poor workmanship....I had to take it back off wall put in vise and try to straighten bracket best I could. Wedged a 2x4 between bracket and vise for leverage. Bracket has pre bent angles and tuff to straighten .Problem was when assembled bracket was out of rack... not square with hose reel ....Not like I could re drill holes in bracket :-/...& still didn't get the hose reel level. So I decided to use the holes I drilled in house wall for bracket to be level and hose reel out of level but not nearly as bad as it was before my adjustment. I just don't try to look at it and hope by buddies don't see it because they will notice anything out of level. That will drive a carpenter nuts....

attaches to the wall easy and spins easy
it should have the hose hookup in the spool, I had to figure out how to get the hose in the spool and not kink the hose, I had to bend the handle so it wouldn't hit the side of the hose reel when I attached the handle, turns very easy, It could have been a larger spool to use all of the frame and hold more hose and have the hose hookup in the spoolRead full review

Highly recommended.
Had a "coiled hose" before this and it was a nightmare to untangle and store at the hose bib.
Then I decided to look at hose reels and saw this. You won't be disappointed with this, it has:
Good packaging, easy to install, ruggard, steel construction, smooth operation and no leaks. I got it about 3 days after ordering. I've had plastic reels prior to this, but this is soooo much better.Read full review

Great Heavyweight reel
Nice heavy duty reel. I used the rubber bumpers and hammer drilled & used tapins to mount it to the brick wall .
The handle needs a washer between the plastic and nut but other than that it's ready to mount and install the hose. Handled 100 ft. Of heavy black rubber hose fine. Highly recommend. PRead full review

All in all a good product so far and a reasonable value
The unit is very heavy duty and does hold nearly 200' of 5/8" commercial hose. Two issues that I had immediately are that the whip hose that was included leaks at the connection to the faucet, even with teflon tape and use of a wrench. The washer was also double checked and installed correctly. Still leaks.
The other is with the handle being very cheap feeling and functioning in comparison with the rest of the hose reel. I will likely end up replacing it with a heavier duty handle with a more comfortable grip (after all, when using it to capacity, rolling in 200 feet of heavy duty hose is unpleasant with the current handle).
All in all a good product so far and a reasonable value.Read full review
