The BEST!!!!! Reel SMART

2008-04-16
This is the BEST!!!!! I have the REEL SMART I want to buy another one for the back yard. When you water the flowers and lawn, washing the car, squirt something, ANYTHING. I just know the worse part is winding up the hose. Just keep cranking, sooner or later you'll get to the end. And then sometimes you just leave it overnight, just because you don't feel like winding the hose. WELL, NO MORE. Just push the lever and it winds all by itself. It doesn't do it in super-sonic speed, its a little slow, but as long as I don't have to do it, who cares? You will LOVE it

Finally

Finally someone has come up with a simple way to reel in the hose and store it neatly. It really works!!

Best Hose Cart

Really enjoying this one, always had trouble with the manual roll hose carts, this one rolls itself up and works as advertised. Its now less of a chore to water and I don't dread the process of the hose cart!

Have two different models. Both Junk

I bought one of the 125ft models and it seemed to work well. About a week later I bought a hundred foot classic for the other side of the house. About a week later a tooth broke off one of the gears on the larger one (125ft) now it makes a clunking sound when I reel it in. I noticed I seemed to have low pressure on the side of the house I installed the classic reel (100ft model). I just thought it was low pressure for some reason a certain times of the day. Today it was so bad it wouldn't even powder my sprinkler. So I by-passed the reel and guess what, it's the hose reel. I checked the in and out hose for kinks but found nothing wrong. This isn't to mention they are both fairly hard to pull out. The larger one is so hard my wife refuses to use it. These things are junk! The reason I paid over a hundred bucks for these is because I have such a bad back. I'd be better of reeling my hoses in manually then continually bending over to mess with this junk. I will be telling everyone I can about how bad these are. I'm tired of wasting money on things that don't work.

Works but could be better

The hose reel works as advertised for me but I have 2 concerns. One minor one is the water it uses (not too much you can do about that). The second and a major complaint is that it is hard to unreel, it keeps pulling out of the ground stakes. I would prefer it put into a wall with lag bolts. My wife hates it but I like the fact that I don't have to manually reel it in.

Piece of Junk

2008-06-17
Product v.poorly made. 2 plastic stakes intended to hold it to ground both snapped after less than 10' of hosepipe retracted. In addition all screws on spigots leak severely. This is unusable

It Works!!!

Works as advertised. Be patient. Hose retracts very slowly but it does the job. Would recommend to anyone. Great value.

Outstanding

If you have a long hose and are tired of cranking it in this is perfect have a 100' feet of hose and more often then not it did not get rewound now just the flick of a switch and its done

Use the water that come out of the return to water nearby flower beds so no waste and no work

Would recomend it to anyone

Clunker...

2008-04-26
I've owned this unit for nearly a year and I'm replacing it with a Rapid Reel. I thought this would be the ultimate convenient reel but several problems have changed my opinion. From day one the unit would clunk as the hose was removed and I also noticed a decrease in water pressure while using this reel. Recently the reel has started to bypass water when I'm watering the garden. A small hose on the reel dumps water as the rewinding mechanism operates. Now I've got water coming out this small drain line whether it's rewinding or I'm using the garden hose. I give up! Just not the quality product I was hoping for.No Crank Classic 100' Water Powered Retractable Garden Hose Reel #RS10001
