Overall Feedback:

The stake that twists into the ground is large to ensure the unit is secure.
The product solves the problem of drilling into the side of the house or planting a cement pole.
80% appreciated the sleek and modern design, though 20% thought it looked cheaply made
This product is of high quality.
I was unable to install the hose reel into the ground.

I had to get a longer lead hose as the provided 5 ft hose was too short for me.
80% praised the organized hose storage, but 20% thought it was confusing to use
The hose reel is easy to install, has no leaks, and the metal lasts longer than plastic even with large temperature fluctuations.
My foster dog destroyed 2 hoses within days, but strangely enough does not recognize them as something to chew on.
I got the 66-foot hose and can easily wash my cars in the driveway and water my new roses in the rose garden on the far side of my property.
We should put a label or sign on the reel and nozzle saying do not attempt to remove - quick connect! to avoid any mishap.
73% appreciated its leak-free design, though 27% experienced occasional leaks
I have noticed that the adapter leaks and water sprays out from between the spigot and adapter, rendering the hose useless.

I expected the quick connects to not leak at all.
I noticed a minor leak by the connection, but I turned off the water at the source so it didn't bother me.
77% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 23% experienced rusting
The hose reel has no leaks, is super easy to install, and the metal lasts longer than plastic, indicating good material quality.
The spike is not well suited for ground material in Florida or similar areas, but it's not a design flaw, just something to be aware of.
I feel that the product is poorly constructed.
90% liked the versatility of mounting choices
The new unit stays put when mounted into the ground, unlike the old unit with wheels that would move when retracting.
I wanted a retractable hose reel that could be placed anywhere without mounting to the wall. It was super easy to set up after moving it around a couple of times.
83% found it easy to move around the yard, while 17% thought it was too heavy
My old unit had wheels and would move when trying to retract. Based on my experience, I can say that the control board is easier to use with many options and presets.
