easy to use

By Kathy from Carsonville Michigan on 5/17/2008

Easy to assemble. All the parts were shipped and fit. Very pleased with my purchase.

By Alphawolf from Hagerstown, Maryland on 5/17/2008

I store it in the garage and it is very easy to wheel out for use on anything. I have already recommended to a friend.

By Robert from California on 4/11/2008

It keeps the hose nice and organized in the garage. It does not seem to leak. I hope it lasts a long time!

By Bill Bear from Houston on 4/11/2008

This equipment has made all the difference in watering my lawn. It was easy to assemble and works great. The hose which came with it is top grade. The whole set-up was an excellent value.

By Top Dog Lawn Care from Gainesville, FL on 1/13/2008

Great value and a very useful tool

By Deb the Gardener from Cheshire, CT on 1/5/2008

I was impressed by the structural integrity of this product. I have not used the product yet, but if it performs the way it's structured, it should be a winner!

By TER from Grand Island, NY on 11/24/2007

This product retrieves 300' of 5/8" rubber hose with ease from a downhill slope.

By Bob from Alexandria, VA on 11/2/2007

Thought this would be the answer to the plastic reels that the box stores sell. Not so. Bought this about 1-2 years ago. So called powder coat paint is peeling off and metal is rusting badly. Chrome parts started rusting the first year. Not sure how much longer it will last unless I do a major overhaul. Does a good job of holding the hose, but way over priced for the lack of quality. Quality does not meet the description of Industrial grade.

By Mr., Fixit from Hicksville, New York on 10/27/2007

I use this for regular household chores. I store it in the garage for security. A quick disconnect should be supplied to make removal from the water supply easier.

By GAIL from CT on 10/23/2007

I keep buying larger and larger reels to hold multiple sets of hose for my large yard. Thought this 300ft capacity would do the trick. Not bad. It's convenient, easy to use. Would be better if it had a tracking guide so I wouldn't have to lay the hose down in rows as I wind. Tough to do both at one time. You don't HAVE to do this, as the reel will hold all of the hose. But I'm a neatnik and like it wound neatly. Had the reel now for about 6 months. It has stayed outside the entire time. The chrome parts are rusting. Not happy about that. Guess I'll have to get some Rustoleum. Painted parts so far so good. No leaks.

By Gardener's wife from Davis, CA on 10/23/2007

I bought this as a gift for my husband who was tired of the plastic hose carts that did not stand up to weather conditions. He is very pleased with the quality and functionality. Well worth the $.

By Colonel from Baton Rouge, LA on 10/23/2007

I have owned several brands of hose carts, all of which either fell apart early on or were difficult to use. These are well built and easy to use and to move about. I have a small vegetable garden and a 2 and 1/2 acre lawn. These devices make it much easier to water than dragging hoses or using flimsy hose carts.

By phil from Boston, Ma on 10/23/2007

You can't find much better out there

By Mel from Cob Cos, CT on 10/23/2007

Its great just hook up in one spot and the cart lets out up to 300 feet of hose. No more dragging the hose arround and looking for a closer hook up.

By Pete the gardner from Poughkeepsie,NY on 10/23/2007

This is a great cart except the chromed handle is now covered with rust after just one summer outdoors.

By Maidel from Far West Texas on 10/22/2007

You can get this hose cart, or a similar one, from other purveyors but you cannot get it at a better price. This is the best deal I've found. It is very well-built and sturdy. It's also easier to use than a 2-wheel model on uneven ground. Of course, you will find it wears better if you protect it from the elements. Sun takes a toll if you leave it unprotected for too long.

It's not weather-resistant
Parts are rusted

By Ms. Lil from Lancaster County, PA on 10/22/2007

The not-great thing re this item is the rusting!
The ease of wheeling it is great!

By Water Guy from RI on 10/22/2007

Very easy to use. Makes hose winding simple

tuff unit

By Sue the herb gardener from Hartford, CT on 10/22/2007

We had a really long hose on the lawn to reach the garden and it was such a pain to reel up we usually left it there.... this hose reel is great, now we can easily roll it up ... no problem.

By Mike from Buford, Ga. on 10/22/2007

VERY PLEASED OVERALL, BUT THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

By tool guy from Old Greenwich, CT on 10/22/2007

This is a nice hose cart. I've bought every sort of hose reel/cart. This is the first one that is easy to use, is all metal, no plastic fittings. The only improvement would be to make the whole thing out of aluminum or stainless.

By John from Abbeville, LA on 10/22/2007

I find it difficult to wind the hose neatly on the reel. It would be nicer if it had a guide that would guide the hose onto the reel.

By Jim from Auburn, NY on 10/22/2007

Works the way it should, and is holding up nicely. Should last a long time

By David from Carlsbad, CA on 10/22/2007

I was pleased with the quality construction of the product. Other sellers charge twice as much for a lesser product.

By Sue from Pleasanton, CA on 10/22/2007

I can wheel this all over my yard with ease

By Del from Mi on 10/22/2007

I think you would pay more money just for the tires elsewhere.

By Dawn from Cypress, TX on 10/22/2007

I have a large backyard wiht only one hose bib. I needed a cart that would hold a very long hose. This is it. It's neat and winds the hose uup easily.

By Pops from Maryland on 10/22/2007

Shows some signs of corrosion

By the lazy gardener from washington dc on 10/22/2007

We have owned 3 other makes from other manufacturers that have fallen apart in one season. This is built to last, very durable, the winding motion is easy to use and does not require a great deal of strength. It is also balanced very well and easy to push or pull through the lawn. We have a large lawn and to water our flower beds was a chore, but with the right tool it is now easy and a pleasure. As a result we now water regularly.

By Missy from Charlotte, NC on 10/22/2007

We have tried other hose reels without success. Most made from plastic and did not work as advertised. Easy enough for a woman to use.

By Randy from Mabelvale, Ar on 10/22/2007

I use the reel to wind up a 100ft hose after watering my Goats and Donkeys. Very quick wind up. Real time saver

By Pete from Queenstown, MD on 10/22/2007

The product is used to water about 12 gardens on our lawn. I gave it to my husband for a gift and he certainly enjoys usuing it. Saves much time and trouble and so much easier than pulling the hose around.

By Wayne from Wake Forest, NC on 10/22/2007

Product used to water lengthy driveway and plants far away from the house

By Ally from New Jersey on 10/22/2007

It is great to keep hose so it is not all over the yard. Wheel it to exactly where you need it without a lot of effort. Makes watering quick and easy

By Farmer John from Upstate NY on 8/16/2007

I have a lot of hose. The many plastic and rickity metal models I have owned in the past just couldn't take it. This one is substantial enough to take the weight of the hose and not travel all over the place while reeling. Too soon to tell about weather resistance, but so far so good.

Exterior of cart does not withstand elements. After one season, it looks like a piece of rusty junk. In addition, the weld on the connection device between feeder hose and hose reel developed a serious leak and I now have "old faithful" whenever water is turned on (with very little pressure on the business end of the hose.)Certainly not in keeping with expected [...] quality.

I have owned this three months. Green paints rubs off on my hands. Lots of rust on chrome crank handle. Leaks also.

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]

I bought this three months ago. The paint has started fading. The green comes off on your hands. The chrome part of the crank handle is rusting. Not worth the price plus shipping that I paid for it.

By shakedd from Grand Ledge, MI on 7/20/2007

Directions are very difficult to comprehend. Not easy to set up
