Ames True Temper 2391200A Decorative Bronze Wall Mount Hose Reel Review

I've used several cheaper hose reels from different manufacturers (I have an acre of garden and over 1000 ft of hoses scattered around the property) and this one is much, much better quality. It is all metal, the central "axle" or shaft is machined from solid aluminum (not just cast, or worse yet, plastic) with a good sized snap ring on the end, hose fittings are solid brass and very sturdy, the handle is sturdy and well made (and "keyed" to the central shaft with a bolt that goes through it and the shaft, not just a "set screw" type friction attachment that will eventually wear and spin on the shaft when you try to roll up a long/heavy hose), and the supplied hose (to connect to your faucet) is heavy duty. If you know something about metal machining and understand the difference between solid machined parts and cheaper cast (or even worse, stamped) metal parts you'll appreciate the quality of this hose reel. I'm going to replace all of my cheaper reels (which are all leaking and malfunctioning or falling apart in one way or another after just a couple years) with this model. And Lowe's has it for just $75. Compared to the much lower quality (and mostly plastic) reels that sell for $50-$60 or more, it is more than worth every penny.

I received this product today and there was no hardware included..even though it did say it wasn't included I just find it foolish that it doesn't come with it. Now I have to find the proper size hardware necessary to mount it.

Suncast RSCS100D 100-Foot Water Powered Automatic Rewinding Swivel Garden Hose Reel Review

Over all it does whindthe hose. But it is difficult to pull out.Also, must be careful. The front piece that the hose comes out of looks like it could break easy. For the money it is pretty good.

Suncast PW100 Powerwind 100-Foot Capacity Automatic Rewind Garden Hose Reel Review

After reading the reviews, I reluctantly ordered this power hose reel.Initially I experienced the same impossible task of trying to unwind the hose.

The problem was solved after charging the battery.I ran the reel empty of hose continuously for 30-40 minutes.This stretched and loosened the drive belt.

I then recharged the battery, and the hose reel now works perfectly.

I suggest not reeling the hose until you operate the reel for an extended time.

Under the conditions I have given above, this power hose reel is highly recommended.

100 Foot Sidetracker Wall-Mount Hose Reel Review

This is a great product.Extremely compact, blends in well; easy to use anddurable.It worked perfectly in nearly daily use for almost 10 years without my having to replace a single part.The coupling between the stationary mount and the removable wheel finally broke and I'm very glad the product is still available--still for under $30!
Highly recommended but, as with all hose reels, you must remember to take itinside in below-freezing weather (the reel is clipped to the mount and detaches very easily).

Suncast SHA150B 150-Foot Capacity Garden Hose Hosemobile Reel Cart, Mocha/Taupe Review

The product is as advertized but the design is cheap... Cheap plastic that twists when you wind, flimsy assembly and fragile. Also the leader hose they give you is of bad quality and it collapses if there is any torque at all on it, which there will be when you move the cart... It also has cheap fittings that can't take the wrench you need to tighten them. I replaced the leader hose with a good quality hose with good fittings, lubricated the O-rings that were barely water tight and for now it works as advertized. Not sure when it will start to leak...

Suncast RSB100D 100-Foot Water Powered Automatic Rewinding Garden Hose Reel Review

In previous two years we have purchased 4 Reel-Smart hose reel units (dist by mfgr Hydro Industries) and now this No-Crank unit (still mfgd by Hydro, but distributed under the Suncast label). The rewind mechanism is ingenious, with its water-pressure powered 3-piston hydraulic pump. The unit works well, but I underscore these requirements, lest you think the unit is malfunctioning and head back to the store with it. First, READ THE BROCHURE that comes with the unit and strictly comply with Hydro's recommendations: Use not heavier than medium duty, vinyl or plastic (NOT rubber) 5/8" hose; Do NOT exceed hose length or width specified for your unit; Prior to pulling hose out of the No-Crank, make sure rewind control handle is in REST position, and hose is NOT pressurized; Prior to rewinding, turn water supply OFF and open hose nozzle; Straighten out the hose to be rewound, then pick up nozzle end and set it down near the No-Crank to reduce hose drag force; Move the rewind control to REWIND, then turn on water supply to activate rewind mechanism. As the nozzle gets within a couple feet of fully retracted, turn off water supply, and reset rewind control to REST. You'll be impressed with how this little regimen enables your No-Crank to work like a champ for the long haul. NOTE: An annual light spray of silicone over the length of the hose will help help No-Crank's rewind mechanism distribute the hose neatly over the storage reel.

Suncast PHJ100M Garden Hose Reel Hideaway with 100-Foot Hose Capacity Review

They can sit on top of the box when you reel/unreel the hose. Otherwise, there are anchor points on the housing if you want to secure it to the ground. Like others, the coupling leaked when I connected my 75' garden hose to spindle the first time...On the second attempt,I used teflon tape on the coupling and screwed it very tightly and no leaks! The crank is low to the ground, so you may need to kneel in order to to reel the hose in.I sympathize with all the reviewers here, it may be easier to buy a heavy duty version. However, if you are on a budget (and got kids) you can get this at your local home depot for twenty greenbacks.It is made in the USA.

Yard Butler HT-2EZ 2-Wheeled Garden Hose Truck with 200-Foot Hose Capacity Review

We have had several hose trucks/hose reels over the years.We like this one better than most.The connection point where the garden hose connects to the reel is one of the best I have seen.It allows for smooth curling of the hose around the reel without kinking or bending the hose.There are two things I would do differently if I designed the truck.The front of the hose truck has "U" shaped metal tubing that rests on the surface to help stableize the unit.This is not a good design because it allows contact with the surface which will wear the paint off the metal and cause the metal to rust.Ruber bumpers would help with that problem.The wheels are mounted using nuts and bolts through some thin metal tubing.If the cart is moved much at all this will be a weak spot.Thicker tubing and a solid rod from one wheel to the other would solve the problem.

Ames True Temper 2388100 65-Foot Cassette Hose King Reel Review

I say that but there may be big ol' wheely cart like things out there that are better and hold lots more hose,but for those of you who don't want a giant piece of funky looking stuff to store or haul around but rather a reliable convenient hose real that doesn't stick out and look cheap and ugly butworks,....then this would be the one.And BELIEVE ME I have tried lots of hose reels!
I loath most of them and especially the way they trash up a yard.I got an extra 25 ft of hose in case I needed more length.It only holds so much and we find we are using the 25 extra ft on occasion as well. (we have a long driveway)
25 ft of hose is easy to mess with and can just sit by the faucet coiled up neatly.
The only improvement I could see them using on this would be to put a little weight on the bottom of it because if the ground is not completely level it falls over sometimes when one is pulling the hose out.Not a biggy,...still works.
It's SO easy just to pick it up and take it from our back yard to the front yard.
I will bring it in in the winter and it will be very easy to store because it takes up very little space.
This is the only hose reel I've ever had that doesn't make me feel like ripping my hair out!Always works smoothly.
UPDATE MARCH 26, 2009: I'm here to give this two thumbs up for durability!All the rest of the reels I've had have fallen apart by now or quit working smoothly.This one is still working like new.I really like it- it isn't nearly as cumbersome to use as the rest of the competition!!

Ames True Temper 2388700 Hose King Hose Reel Review

While the hose reel looks nice, the included feeder hose leaked at the metal fitting (not the washer), which I had to replace.The reel leaked at the plastic part where the main hose attaches to the reel (the O-rings needed replacement).And worst of all, the plastic hose connection for attachment of the main hose to the reel was so poorly made it looked essentially stripped.Using extreme care I managed to attach the hose successfully.So...you take your chances with this product.

Suncast SMT200B Hose Hideaway with Smart Trak Hose Guide Review

I did a lot of research before purchasing this product, although, I already have an older model which I love.I still wanted to make certain that this was the best value available in it's product line.It was replacing an unenclosed and "non-hose guide" model which was a pain in my side.It does not require any assembly, works perfectly as advertised, seems quite well built, has the Smart Trak Hose Guide and is very easy for my wife to reel in the entire length of hose with ease.This is a definite buy if you are looking for this type of product.And, the price is very reasonable after having looked carefully online and in brick and mortar stores such as Home Depot and Lowe's.In summary, value, quality, no assembly, ease of use, priced right and makes life easier make this a must buy.
