EVERYTHING I WAS LOOKING FOR IN A HOSE REEL
I did a lot of research before purchasing this product, although, I already have an older model which I love. I still wanted to make certain that this was the best value available in it’s product line. It was replacing an unenclosed and “non-hose guide” model which was a pain in my side. It does not require any assembly, works perfectly as advertised, seems quite well built, has the Smart Trak Hose Guide and is very easy for my wife to reel in the entire length of hose with ease. This is a definite buy if you are looking for this type of product. And, the price is very reasonable after having looked carefully online and in brick and mortar stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. In summary, value, quality, no assembly, ease of use, priced right and makes life easier make this a must buy.
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Broke immediately, but can be repaired
The unit stores and reels a 100 ft hose very easily. However, the feed hose occasionally pops off and floods the area around the box. I contacted suncast by email and they quickly sent a replacement part at no charge. Some dis/assembly work is needed to change the part.

Turned into Water Wiggle first week…
Remember the Water Wiggle toy from the 70s that chased kids around the backyard with a insane spray of water? In the first week of use the input feed coupling on the side of the box came apart from the box. Plugged the coupling back in, but continues to come out. The problem appears that the design of the coupling is such that it will not handle the pressure if there is a cut-off on the hose. So when I turn off the water when I move from one area to another, the coupling cannot handle the pressure and shoots off, spraying water all over the box, patio, furniture… Looking at the coupling appears it just has a flimsy plastic notch to hold onto the box - very poor design. Returned box for a refund as this appears to be a design defect inherent in all boxes. Too bad, nice concept. Also the Suncast web site has no useful info on products. Sigh, can someone please make a product that doesn’t come apart under normal use?
