low quality junk Aug 14, 2008 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.

Broken on arrival Aug 22, 2007 Don't by these from Amazon. They are not pack for shipping and arrive broken. Go to a store and pick them up. It is worth the time and money.

I bought 3, my mistake Jun 02, 2007 I liked that it kept the hose out of site and protected it. On all 3, the outer connection pulled out, thus rendering it useless. I purchsed them at Target a couple of years ago,but for the price point they are a huge rip off. I agree w/ the other reviewers, save your money.

Don't waste your money.... Jun 09, 2006 We bought this, since it was rated for 225' of hose storage. We have two 100' hoses for our front lawn so that we can water from one end of our home to the other, and the entire front yard.
It was not well assembled; it leaked and we had to disassemble the entire box to reseat the inlet connection where it joins to the reel.
It constantly breaks - the center shaft is too weak to support the weight of the hose if there is the least bit of residual water in it and it collapses, making it virtually impossible to unreel the hose without taking the entire product apart. It finally broke the locking tabs this weekend when we tried to unreel it.
It also tips over when you are trying to unreel the hose, and takes forever to wind the hose back up, due to a high gear ratio - each crank winds up a very small amount of hose.
If you have a smaller lawn, and only need 100' or so of hose, this would probably work well for you. But it is NOT capable of handling 200 - 225 feet of hose, as stated. It just doesn't hold up. The sad thing is, they could invest a few more cents in producing a quality product that is sturdier, and have a great product that people would be willing to pay more for.
