I would NOT buy this reel again. 3 I have a longer lightweight hose on a metal hose reel near a faucet outdoors and love it. I bought this shorter one on the reel because I thought it would be great to take out when it is freezing and I need to add water to my goldfish pond. PROBLEMS: 1) the part you add to the handle to be able to reel up the hose will NOT stay attached. 2) No matter how tight I attach the hose to the faucet, it sprays out a lot of water at the faucet and where the leader hose attaches to the hose on the reel. 3) the circumference of the hose reel is so small that it is impossible to reel up the hose again, even in a warm garage. Plus as stated the handle falls off. I should have just bought the hose by itself without the reel. The length is fine as is the weight of the hose. Mariella Champaign, Illinos 2018-02-19
Just what I needed. 5 The hose and reel fit my needs perfectly. I grow a lot of potted flowers on my deck. I have a large deck but I needed a hose that I could use to water my plants but that I could easily and neatly put the hose away. It worked out wonderfully. Leannie Zion, IL 2017-09-28
Great choice 5 Light weight enough to move around as needed. Very well made and easy to use. You will not be disappointed. Disp525 Fairfield CT 2017-09-03
Just right for a portable hose 4 Light weight, easy to roll up and use anywhere. Excellent backup for the long hose you left in the front yard. John J Madison CT 2017-08-10
Good lightweight hose 4 I am not in the best of health and wanted a lightweight hose that I would not have to fight with to get out or organize when done. This works great. LA Missoula, MT 2017-07-30
Neat and tidy 5 Just what I needed for the patio. It stays out of site when not being used MD gardener Columbia, MD 2017-07-25
Best ever hose 5 Although I had recently purchased another new hose, it was heavy & bulky. Upon seeing the compact, lightweight hose/reel I decided to give it a try. We've had lots of rain so I haven't needed to use it a lot but the advertised features are spot on! I'm very pleased. JT Hickory NC 2017-06-09
Perfect! 5 This compact hose and storage unit is the answer to my residential garden need. It is so manageable that I always wind it back into place - rather than leaving a sloppy mess of coils at the end of the day! Love it. SCMG Durham NH 2017-06-02
