350 ft Garden Yard Water Planting Hose Reel Cart

Great purchase

Love this! Wish I hadn’t wasted money on the many plastic hose reels that I’ve bought over the years. This is SO easy to use, and wind up. For people with back issues who love to garden, it’s perfect!

Fantastic

Great hose reel

Just what we needed

So far, it works great.

Worth the money

Great hose reel. Real sturdy construction. I have 200 feet of hose on it and it’s easy to roll up.

Hose reel is solid and easy to crank

Hose reel appears to be solid. Some coating has come off already. Parts were included but not loose, installed in holes, you will have to remove and then assemble. These nuts and bolts will not he found in the bag of supplies.

Quality

The reel was straightforward in assembly and seems sturdy. The only issue was the hose leaking quite a bit at the reel coupling threads. There was a rubber gasket in the hose coupling but I added another and it seemed to stop it down to a small drip occasionally. Other than that, it seems to work and roll well.

The finest from the land of pandas

Just assembled the cart. Overall, fairly easy to understand the instructions.I still need to install my hoses on it, which seems straight forward and so I'll write my feedback now regarding the assembly before I forget some details. First, you will need a flat blat screwdriver and/or phillips. I found the flat screwdriver was better at holding the few screw heads that needed to be held. But the phillips was useful for aligning the main handle (not the crank) with the holes in the main frame. Speaking of the handle, the handle came with two shipping plastic cap ends that for a couple of seconds I thought were to remain in place, but they had holes too small to allow the handle and frame to mate. So off they went and the handle went on. The overall assembly went pretty much as shown in the manual. However, I decided to assemble the small basket to the handle with the bolt heads towards the basket vs. the nut and bolt end facing the basket. Less chance of snagging things on the carriage bolt heads than on the nut end when in use. Some more tools needed for assembly (none are listed in the manual) would be a 10mm box or open end wrench, a 10mm deep socket w. ratchet (a normal socket won't allow some nuts to fully tighten) hence the need for the 10 mm wrench plus a 19mm (or 3/4") socket for the 4 axle nuts. Filling the tires with 30 psi air at a gas station prior to assembly helps if you don't have an air compressor at home too.Only place that a second person comes in handy is mounting the hose drum to the frame. One end is supported by the crank, but the other end requires two bolts/nuts to be installed while the drum is held in place. Extra set of hands speeds this up.Unless I won the Chinese lottery, the QC has improved with no missing parts, and all the pieces arrived wrapped in thin plastic sleeves and so the paint/powder coating was lightly scratched only in a few places with no bare metal showing.I can't compare to other carts so whether this one is the best deal is up to each to decide, but I would purchase again after assembling this one.Do save the box until finished since a return require the original box be used!!One silly thing was the box was also marked "Do not use knife to open", and unless you can tear the plastic sealing tape with your bare hands a thoughtful use of a short "suitable sharp object" to cut the sealed seams is necessary. Just don't go for a sawing away at the box with a long sword. Kind of like a future mythical stupid government required warning on a can of ham that would say "open can before slicing". Duh!

Long lasting

Rugged and long lasting

Great hose reel

We needed a replacement and this hose reel was very similar to our previous one. Works great!

Well made, nice push handle.

Solid construction, well made. Better than the flimsy one from the big box store. Push handle is actually tall enough that I don’t have to bend over to push around the yard

Sturdy product.

Excellent, we run a large camp and constantly need to move hoses around, this piece is sturdy. Great product.

Sturdy

Great hose reel. Sturdy. Replaces the same one I bought 20 years ago. Had a little trouble getting he handle to line up but with a little pressure it went together

But works great. A lot better looking on my patio

Took an hour to put together. Some screws do not tighten all the way, and I will be replacing them. But works great. A lot better looking on my patio. I replaced the piece of hose that connects to the spicket with a longer one from Lowes . I sprayed it with poly urethane clear coat, as the paint looks pretty thin - and I plan to drain it and cover it in the winter

Four Stars

somewhat flimsy but otherwise works well , I would buy another if I needed to

... had to locate a lock nut to replace the bad one in the

Would have given 5 stars but I had to locate a lock nut to replace the bad one in the kit

Great quality for a reasonable price.

Very well made, easy to put together, completely water tight, works exceptionally well. One of the best purchases I have made.

Very nice hose reel system, exactly what I thought I was purchasing, did not diasappoint. Much better than any cheap plastic reels I have purchasein the past

This is a great product. Sturdy, durable, well designed and convenient...can easily store and move several hundred feet of garden hose. Will never buy one of those cheap hardware store hose caddies ever again, or have hose coiled up all over the lawn with no place to put it. Expect this to last 10 years or more, and then will buy another one.
