1.0 out of 5 stars Rusted almost immediately but no satifaction from Hardware Sales or World Factory, December 6, 2010

This hose reel began rusting within a month of placing it in use. Unfortunately knowing I had a one year warranty I did not rush to contact Amazon. The seller, Hardware sales said that I must pay to ship it back to them before they will replace it. They said it would cost about $40.00 to ship. Bottom line is this hose reel will rust very quickly. There are other negative reviews about this. I would not recommend purchasing it. I would not purchase anything from Hardware sales or World Factory Inc. either. I am also disappointed in Amazon.

I was initially happy. True a few nuts and bolts loose in box, but all there and most loosely screwed in holes. Also extra package of bolts, that fit nothing on reel. But again parts all there and arrived in good shape. Easy to assemble, but needed some metric wrenches, which I had. But some people do not have metric tools.

No leaks. Rubber tires smelled, but I am sure that will go away in a few weeks.

I left outside for a few days and it got rained on. Rust is starting in a few places. So not sure how its seeming lack of good rust resistance will affect its service life.

ONE YEAR LATER, July 2011: Rust is progressing and paint is peeling in some areas. At some point I may sand rust and paint with rusty metal primer. I think looking at 3-5 year service life. To get 5 year service life will probably require application of rusty metal primer. May get longer service life if keep after rust.

Assembles in about 1/2 hour. I have 200 ft. of hose on mine and it handles that length nicely. A downside for some is that this model takes up more garage square footage over the winter, but you'll still be using it long after your neighbor has run through 2 or 3 of those molded plastic ones.
