Reel Leaky,
While the hose reel looks nice, the included feeder hose leaked at the metal fitting (not the washer), which I had to replace. The reel leaked at the plastic part where the main hose attaches to the reel (the O-rings needed replacement). And worst of all, the plastic hose connection for attachment of the main hose to the reel was so poorly made it looked essentially stripped. Using extreme care I managed to attach the hose successfully. So…you take your chances with this product.

Does all it’s supposed to do,
Holds a lot of 5/8″ hose. Doesn’t leak. Reels up beautifully. My first one has been out in the sun for 5-6 years and is still as good as new. Big improvement over Ames’ older metal hose reel which always rusted through and leaked through the support arm.
Though I reported the lower price to Amazon, Amazon did not reduce price to that of my local Ace Hardware store; so I passed up Amazon to save $16 ($39.95), and bought my second reel from Ace.

a piece of water equipment that rusts?,
Most of the product is plastic, but the part that is in constant contact with water is metal…corrosive metal. This is the axel that rotates as the reel is turned. The water enters this hollow metal tube to get to the hose on the reel. Why or why would they make this part of rustable material. Mine lasted about one year before rusting out. A copper, or even plastic tube with a galvanized steel outer sleeve would have given it strength plus kept the water from rusting the pipe. I’d have paid the extra dollar this would have cost to have a product that would have laster 10 years instead of one.
