1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, July 9, 2009

This review is from: Suncast 175-Foot Capacity Hosemobile Garden Hose Reel Cart, Bronze/Taupe JTT175B (Lawn & Patio)

Mine is going right back for a refund. It's not worth the money. The unit leaked profusely from the onset from the male hose connection that attaches to the inflow tube on the reel. I swapped out numerous washers, applied teflon tape, etc., to the connection to try and stop the leaking, but to no avail. I had a suncast reel prior to this one for a number of years that was much better built and more durable. This replacement was basically the same model, but I can only echo the sentiments of the others that the quality has certainly diminished. It is flimsy and made with cheap plastic parts with a very limited lifespan. Maybe be o.k. with use for lighter hoses, but not the heavy duty ones. I'll be looking for another brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars low quality plastic that doesn't last, August 14, 2008

This review is from: Suncast 175-Foot Capacity Hosemobile Garden Hose Reel Cart, Bronze/Taupe JTT175B (Lawn & Patio)

The whole reel is made of cheap and thin plastic. The crank gear is also plastic, and as soon as you put some stress on it (like trying to rewind a 100ft hose laying on the ground) it will start skipping and coming apart. The whole product is made of smaller plastic parts that are snapped together, which can not take the smallest amount of stress without breaking off from one another. By my second heavily assisted rewind the whole assembly started leaking like mad (something else snapped I guess), prompting me to return it.

This seems to be a common theme with all the Suncast products, as this is a third model of their hose reel that I have tried. If you had a bad experience with one, do not assume that their more expensive units are any better made. They're just more expensive, that's all.

Unbelievably bad quality. Crappy plastic hose connection stripped while attaching hose to reel. The plastic is so soft if you are off just a bit, kiss the connection goodbye and Hosemobile. Never even got to use it once and decided it was not worth the gas and time taking back to Home Depot for a refund. Just save your money and spend more for another product that can withstand some normal use.
