Just bought this and after getting together I took off the protective cardboard on the reel and a portion does not have the protective coating. This is obvious enough that it should have been seen in production (see photo). Can't get it replaced since it is now out of stock.

I bought one of these several years ago. It has held up remarkably well. Low score is due to the plumbing. The inlet restricts the waterflow dramatically. I need high volume and the inlet allows for a 3/4 inch hose, but it restricts it to about 3/8 inch before it even gets to your hose. The plumbing shouldn't determine my waterflow, my hose and nozzle should.

Bought this a couple of years ago but it always leaked where the hose attached. Eventually, I could not remove the hose, because the cart attachment rotated when trying to undo the hose. I also live in the desert and is fairly dry, but I see significant rust.

Not very well made.

Works good!

Easy to assemble, instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Heavy duty and sturdy. One negative is that there is no brake to keep the cart from moving as you roll up the hose, making it more challenging to roll it up. Because of that you need to hold it steady with one hand while rolling or put bricks or blacks near the tires to stop the movement.

Mush better then the previous version. Easy to assemble and more stable.

this is my second reel and love them

Great because the tires do not require air

This works great to keep my hose stored and out of the way.
