Tools and Hardware Reviews of Suncast PHR200 225-Foot-Capacity Garden Hose Reel Hideaway, Taupe

Customer Review: Hideaway Hose Reel
Summary: 4 Stars

This product lives up to its billing. The hose is easily dispensed and rolls back up into the box easily. Unlike other hose reels that I have owned, the Hideaway hose does not leak at all even after one year of use. I was so impressed with the first one, I ordered a second one from Amazon.com. It came completly assembled. All you have to do is connect the hose to the faucet.

I would have rated this 5 stars except for the following: a) when reeling the hose in you must make sure it is evenly distributed around the hose reel, otherwise the hose can become jammed. b) durability has yet to be confirmed. There have been no problems after 1 year, but will this hideaway last 5 years?

Customer Review: Good Quality Hose Reel
Summary: 4 Stars

I wanted a hose reel to clean up the look of the patio. This was the least expensive box type hose reel. It works fine and easily holds the 90' of hose I have on it. No water leaks from the areas where the reel connects to the faucet.

However, the hose tends to stay on one side or the other as you reel it in. This forces you to manually move the hose to the other side of the reel as you wind it in. The upgraded model has a trackinghole that winds the hose evenly across the reel. My only other complaint is that the handle seems a little delicate but I havent had any problems to date.

Otherwise this box performs as advertised and does a good job of cleaning up a pile of hose.

Customer Review: It's worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars

This hose reel is the only one that I've ever used that actually works, and is durable enough to last. The only disadvantage of this type is if it is not secured to something it will tend to move as you pull the hose out, or vise/versa when cranking the hose back in. I still haven't decided on how to anchor mine - but I will. There is plenty of room for 50 feet of hose (maybe more) without having to fool around walking the hose back and forth across the reel as you crank it in.

Customer Review: I'm going to buy another one
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased on of these @Home Depot about a year ago and have had no problems with leakage or breakage. The water pressure is fine-I use mine to clean my patio floor and pool filters. My husband is quite abusive with most tools and he has been with this-it still works fine.
