This has to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever purchased. How anyone can thread the hose onto the reel inside of the box is beyond me. I know 2 other people who bought this thing and all 3 of us never got to use it because as soon as you try to secure the hose onto the reel inside it crossthreads and is immediately ruined because the threads are plastic. I am saying this in the most literal meaning...
THIS IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP EVER TO BE MADE IN AMERICA!!!!!!
If that is where it was really made. It says so on the sticker but who knows. Dont waste your time with this thing. It wouldnt even make a good anchor for a canoe because it weighs like .003 lbs.
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They can sit on top of the box when you reel/unreel the hose. Otherwise, there are anchor points on the housing if you want to secure it to the ground. Like others, the coupling leaked when I connected my 75' garden hose to spindle the first time...On the second attempt,I used teflon tape on the coupling and screwed it very tightly and no leaks! The crank is low to the ground, so you may need to kneel in order to to reel the hose in.I sympathize with all the reviewers here, it may be easier to buy a heavy duty version. However, if you are on a budget (and got kids) you can get this at your local home depot for twenty greenbacks.It is made in the USA.

There are so many things wrong with this (admittedly cheap) hose reel its hard to know where to start. Yes, it tips over as soon as you pull on the hose, but you have to get that far. Your journey begins with trying to thread your hose onto the reel. Everything here is plastic, of course. I tried 2 different hoses and each time it took a half dozen tries to attach the hose without cross threading onto the brittle plastic fitting in the reel. If you get that far, the next challenge is winding the hose. As you can see, the more expensive reels have something that's essential--a guide that guides the hose onto the reel. On this unit, you are the guide and you'd better be precise or you will never get 100 feet of hose on the reel. But the fun is just beginning. While you are hand-wrapping the hose around the reel, the entire unit is dancing around. So, with one hand you guide the hose, with your other hand you hold the box steady and with your third hand, you turn the crank. And by the way, if you're thinking of weighting the unit so it doesn't move and tip over, you can't because they were careful not to allow any extra space so there's no place to put a brick or something heavy. I think I'll stop here but you get the idea. I'm not sure if I want to spend over $100 to get a hose reel that works so I may just go back to dropping the hose on the ground and walking away.

crap crap crap
When you pull the hose to unwind it the entire reel comes with the hose putting strain on the plastic. Its just a matter of time before it falls apart.

Weighs nothing, very frustrating.
This is a very annoying product to use.
It has almost no weight, and so obviously will not stay still when trying to reel in a hose. Read more

Requires Three Hands to Operate
The size and profile are great, but the unit is so lightweight that you need three hands to reel in a 100 foot length of house. Read more

Flimsy, weak, and super cheap
I was already disappointed when I saw just how close to the ground it lay, but its flimsy demeanor made it impossible for me, a 22 year old, to wind it up successfully as it... Read more

Not worth the price, even though it's one of the cheapest
I had no problems hooking up the hose, and it didn't leak. However, reeling up a hose is another matter, and that's where this completely falls apart. Read more

Good inexpensive hose reel
This "Made in America" hose reel works great but lacks any visable way to lock-it-down and tends to move when reeling the hose. Read more

Don"t buy
