I have purchased many hose reels in my adult life and have never had one that would last very long. When I saw this one sitting in Sam's, I knew it was probably what I needed to last me and probably would not have to buy another one. I am very pleased with the quality and the price was reasonable, considering how much I have wasted on all the others. I am proud of my purchase.

I purchased this online after not finding anything satisfactory locally. For what it cost and being Members Mark brand, I honestly expected more. It’s okay but not that sturdy. The wheel cotter pin attachments are laughable—we plan to get more appropriate sized and sturdier clips when we go to town again. The handle also seems very wobbly and since it attaches with push-in metal button things there is no way to tighten it. We needed a hose reel immediately and don’t live close enough to Sam’s to take it back right away so I’ll probably keep it, but I think it’s not really any more sturdy than the standard plastic ones. The only advantage to this model is the foam-filled or solid wheels, which did allow me to roll it across the yard more easily.

There were a few holes that were not punched completely through the metal. Initially loading a long hose on to the reel can be a bit of a challenge. It took 2 of us to keep it all from spinning lose. After the initial loading of hose those, it works with ease for the most part.

Well made. Holds a lot of hose and is easy to pull off amount of hose needed and even my six year old granddaughter could reel it back in with ease. It has accomplished my goal of getting all those hoses up off the lawn. I bought two and it took two people about an hour to assemble both. I would recommend a cordless drill, if you have one, especially if you will use the hose caddy a lot.

We love having hose carts. This is the third we've purchased and it is my least fave. It does DO the job. The previous carts purchased from SAMS have had the basket below and the hose reel above the basket. It may seem less top heavy I presume that was the reason for the design changes. I like having the cart with a full tray on the bottom for storage of items over the smaller side basket. Personal preference is the only reason to give it a 4 out of 5.

We have about 200 feet of house that we have just laying on the ground and this reel works great for our need to get the hose off the ground. It is easy to roll up and take out. Two problems we have with it though. One the reel is too low for my old over sixty year old back to bend down and crank up the hose, I wish it was about six inches higher. Second, the hose winds up from the bottom. I wish the connector was headed in the opposite direction so that I can roll up the hose from the top of the reel and not the bottom. Other than those two items, the hose reel is great to use and keep using for our plants in the back yard.

This cart was the most cost effective product I could find for a mobile hose reel. I was tired of buying plastic hose reels that, after baking for 2-3 years in the Arizona sun, needed replacement. This cart is very sturdy and was easy to put together. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase. One thing that bothered me is that, when attaching the crank handle, there was only one bolt to attach it to the hose reel. The handle was drilled for two bolts but the manufacturer only supplied one bolt. After I finished assembling the cart, the handle did not fee sturdy when I tested it out. I went to the hardware store and bought a second matching bolt and added that to the handle. It's now much sturdier and I think it will make the handle last longer.

This model is a lower profile then the last model . I am taller so i prefer the taller one. I also find this one a bit more challenging to roll up. But this could be due to it being so low .other wise it is easy to assemble and woks as it should.

This is a well-made product. However, I didn't plan ahead when I bought it-the way it's configured-I'm going to have to create a spot to store it because it's turned the wrong way and I won't be able to wind it up without pulling it out into the yard.

very happy with this. It rolls up 200' of hose with ease and keeps it out of the lawn and ready for use. Some complaints are it is top heavy and in reality it is as it has a lot of hose on it but it has a narrow wheelbase which should be expected. pneumatic tires make it easy to roll around
