The vinyl hose becomes unmanageable in cooler weather. I am in Austin Texas which doesn't get that cold. At temps below about 50 I cannot even get the hose to retract because it doesn't want to bend. At cooler temps the hose develops a lot of memory to where it is difficult to use. I have about given up on using it until April or so.

The "Levelwind" hose tracking mechanism works flawlessly and makes the difference between all those "so-so" hose storage wheels and this engineering jewel. This is a quality, well-constructed product that I expect will be in service for a very long time. As a bonus, delivery was prompt and postage charges were very reasonable.

I was tired of tripping over twisted air hoses and ordered this from Amazon based on good reviews. I use it in a garage to work on cars primarily. I've had no problems with malfunctions in "cold" temperatures that some have mentioned. I'm in Iowa and the garage temp stays between 30-40 in the winter. Ironically, after I purchased it, I discovered that the Legacy company is only 10 miles from where I live in Iowa! Overall, it does what it's supposed to do. What else can you ask for?

Product easy to set up and works wonderfully, I had a smaller one - this is much better!!

The unit works very good but the air hose is cheap junk. be prepared to buy a good quality air hose that will work in cold areas.

Before now I hardly use the compressor because of the harass to deal with the hose, you know, go get the hose! unwind it, undo the knots and all that stuff. Finally thanks God there's something that is really useful. With this case you protect and keep your hose very easily and doing that you really feel like working more often. You won't regret buying this wonder case!!
