About Giraffe Tools Retractable Hose Reel 1/2 Inch x 82FT,Heavy Duty Ground Mount Garden Hose Reel
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
84% liked the adjustable hose guide
I have noticed that there is a panel on the front of the reel that comes off and exposes the retracted hose. This is for cleaning the spring mechanism and the hose in case theres debris impeding the function.

The hose is very long and the reel has a spring to pull-to-lock the hose at a given length and pull to auto rewind works great.
The spikes anchor the reel to the ground and provide a solid base for the hose to retract.
85% appreciated the sleek and modern design, though 15% thought it looked cheaply made
I appreciate the build quality of the hose reel, it is not flimsy.
The hose reel is compact and blends in with its surroundings.
The housing of the reel is made of plastic, although I hope it is durable.
80% appreciated the ample hose storage, though 20% found it could not hold the full length
The hose reel has not failed yet, even though it is relatively new.
I am used to larger hoses, so the smaller hose has a negative effect on the water pressure it can deliver.
85% praised the organized hose storage
I have noticed that the reel rotates on its base, allowing for dynamic changes of angle while using the hose.

The hose reel is relatively new and has not failed yet. Its build quality suggests durability.
The hose reel automatically rewinds using a spring instead of water pressure.
87% appreciated its leak-free design, though 13% experienced occasional leaks
I experienced a leak in the product after 3 months of usage and contacted customer service. The service was top notch and responsive, and I received a replacement. Based on my experience, the product has some issues with leaking.
I wish for a rubber gasket to prevent dirt and debris from entering the reel, indicating a lack of leak resistance.
The retracting mechanism can be frustrating and time-consuming as it is inconsistent and sometimes doesn't fully pull the hose in.
85% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 15% experienced rusting
The housing of the reel is made of plastic, which may or may not be durable.
It takes a good bit of effort to extend the hose, making it difficult for my wife to use.
The reel access cover barely stays attached, the hose and nozzle are made of cheap plastic.
85% liked the versatility of mounting choices
I was looking for a hose reel that could be staked on the ground instead of drilling and mounting on a brick wall. This Giraffe Tools reel seems to be exactly what I was looking for, as it comes with both screws/anchors and stakes depending on my preferred installation method.

The unit rotates 180 degrees, making it easier to pull out the hose without having to pull it in the same line.
