Tools and Hardware Reviews of Suncast PHR200 225-Foot-Capacity Garden Hose Reel Hideaway, Taupe
Customer Review: Yes it hides a hose, and yes it cranks...
Summary: 2 Stars
The same thing happens every time I use one of these plastic hose reels! I thought it was just because I always bought the cheapest ones, so this year I invested a little more and bought this one. I read the instructions, had all the connections tight, barely turned the water on - and BLAM! The side connector blew out of the thing and the water started flying all over. I didn't even have the water pressure up yet! So, i just figured that the inherent design of ALL of these products is flawed, and they must ALL do that. So, I put the side hub back where it was supposed to be and screwed it into the plastic to make sure it was NOT going to come back out the next time. HA! I win! I turned the water back on, and - BLAM - the hub came back off, but this time from the INSIDE OF THE BOX! Now anything I would attach to it to hold the center piece tight to the side of the box is going to keep it from spinning, making it kind of useless, other than something to sit flower pots on. This is probably the fifth one of these types of things I've owned, and I've never gotten to use ANY of them the way they were intended. The next one will definitely be metal. With what I've spent on the plastic ones over the years, I should have just invested in the metal one in the first place. We live, we learn...
I gave it two stars because I can still roll up a hose with it and close the lid to hide it. That's worth something, I suppose.

After 15 minutes of wrestling with this reel, I decided to return it. I have 100' of 3/4" hose and this product is too flimsy to handle it - the box moves around when winding (too light) and the hose got stuck over the edge of the reel first time. It might be OK for a very lightweight hose, but after some research I've decided to spend the extra and get a Rapid Reel instead.Customer Review: Could this be made any cheaper?

I bought two of these slightly over a year ago. They had light use (considerijng they were in storage due to a move) and both hubs have broken. I believe a cast aluminum or steel hub design would be better, as my two units are now in the trash. I am here to find a better solution to replace both units.Customer Review: Pile of Junk

I have had one of this companies products for two years. It self destructed. The company is not easy to deal with on warranty claims. They expect you to know their parts numbers, etc. I would not buy one of their products ever again and I recommend you do not either.Customer Review: Lousy

This is the worst thing i have bought from your company. You cannot get the connection from leaking and try to role the hose is almost impossible unless you stand and guid it. robert thomin
