Suncast 100 Ft. Wall Mount Hose Reel Side Winder for Yard, Garden, Space-Saving Design, Easy Hose Storage, Fully Assembled, Taupe (Open Box), Made in the USA

This is the only type of hose reel to buy. You attach it firmly to a deck post or similar and crank away. It doesn't go anywhere like those free-standing models. If you've ever used one of those you know how they scoot all over when you're trying to reel up a hose. This is solid. Another good point is that you slide the mounting retaining clip over and you can take the entire hose storage reel with the hose and put it away for the winter.

I purchased this hose reel to replace a previous one I have had for over 10 years and had started to leak a little. I really like this reel for the following reasons: 1) it is relatively compact and easily attaches to an outside wall; 2) the reel makes it easy to extend and then wind the hose back up and accommodates the amount of hose that I need for my purposes: 3) It is easy to take off the wall and store in the basement for the winter. One issue I had with the original reel was that the plastic water feed on reel cracked and started to leak but I was able to patch it. I looked at several options but decided to go with this one since my experience had been mostly positive.

Bought 2 of these to install at our home. One of the units has a defective hose crimp that allows water to spray out of the hose that connects to the spigot (See photo) -which usually causes a wet, muddy mess right at the hydrant. Seems that the QC on that particular unit was lacking.The other unit is fine, connections are tight/not leaking, easy to assemble and functions exactly like I want.I’ve got a 75’ hose on one and 60’ on the other-great storage capacity! Fairly easy to roll up the hose and store it.As a bonus, the entire hose reel can be dismounted from the hub. Nice if you want to store your hose inside for the winter and keep it compact and manageable.

I hate, Hate, HATE this product.I have owned at least six of them, I keep hoping to get ONE that doesn't malfunction in a major way.The design is stupid, every part of the assembly process is more difficult than it needs to be, because of the design of the part that mounts on the wall. I have a full shop, with every tool imaginable, and the only tool I can use to tighten the hose is a slip channel pliers, the size of the part requires large pliers, and the design only allows tightening by 1/8" before you have to reset the pliers and tighten another 1/8". A better design could easily solve this. The second problem is the inner short black hose. It should have a retaining clamp to keep it from kinking immediately after it bends 90 degees to exit the mount. A rigid plastic sleeve would easily solve this, but they cheap out the materials, so the hose crimps right out of the mount, which cuts the water pressure at the hose end by 75%. The worst part is that no matter how you grease the o rings, or tighten the hose ends on the mount or the reel, it leaks terribly. Water sprays out from the hose/mount connection, and this has been a problem with every one of these horribly designed units. I keep replacing with the same one hoping to get a functional non leaking one because I already drilled the masonry to attach the mount to our stucco wall and didn't want to start with a new brand with a different hole pattern. It's my own fault, like Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." JUNK!!! Don't waste your $$$

great product, a little expensive but built in USA

Easy to install. Looks great. Tough to wind stiff plastic hose in cool weather. Plastic water outlet on reel is near impossible to tighten by hand. Central seal connecting water inlet to hose reel does not seal, leaks under pressure. Recommended for use for convenient open ground garden and not where you would want a dry porch.

I bought this on sale so it was about $30, which I thought was a really great deal since the listing says it includes a 100ft hose. Upon opening and inspecting the packaging, it did not include the hose and with further investigation, the box itself says the hose is not included. Checking other reviews it seems that others did receive a hose since most of them have a similar-looking hose as the pictures. Currently contemplating whether to keep or return it since other reviews say that it's not that good quality anyway.EDIT:It actually works very well! Make sure to tighten the hose very well where it meets with the black L shaped tube as to prevent leaks. As for if it holds 100ft, it probably could hold that much but that depends on how you reel the hose itself and where you installed the reel. I installed it on a brick wall and it it mostly feels sturdy and secure. I don’t think my hose is 100ft but it fits and looks nice.

Works so much easier than the 12 year old one it replaced.
