About Liberty Garden Products Liberty Basics 512 Wall Mounted Hose Reel with Shelf
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
74% liked the adjustable hose guide, but 26% found it did not fit their specific hose
I used heavy-duty zip ties to fasten the reel frame to my aluminum fence, indicating its adjustability.
The connector hose gets pinched and water gets cut off as it sits at a 90 degree angle inside the wall mount.
71% appreciated the sleek and modern design, though 29% thought it looked cheaply made
I am not a fan of decorative, flowery, ornate hose pots as they are expensive. I had to drill through 1 inch of stucco and utilized all six mounting points. Stainless bits indicate that this manufacturer cares about quality, which is important as steel won't last on the California North Coast.
The product feels durable and does not look plastic from a distance.
The reel is stable with no wobbling around where it attaches to the base.
When mounted 3 feet away from the water faucet, the product looks funny.

81% appreciated the ample hose storage
The hose reel can hold two fifty-foot hoses.
74% praised the organized hose storage, but 26% thought it was confusing to use
I read reviews about the Liberty leader hose kinking and noticed a small kink when I pre-hooked up the leader hose. I called Liberty and the customer service agent told me that they had changed the design to include a metal protection spring and that they would send out a replacement hose for free.
I noticed that the hose gets kinked at the connection to the reel due to its design.
80% appreciated its leak-free design, though 20% experienced occasional leaks
I initially thought that the hose reel was leaking water at the spin joint, but later realized that I did not tighten the inside hose enough.
After 4 months of usage, the hose reel started leaking between the brass fitting and metal collar on the hose.
I tried to fix the leak by purchasing a new o-ring, but it did not help and the leak still persists.
I read all the reviews and noticed that most complaints were related to leakage where the water hose is attached.

71% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 29% experienced rusting
I noticed that the manufacturer has used stainless steel bits which indicates that they care about the quality of the product.
The manufacturer's use of stainless steel bits shows their commitment to quality.
The lead hose requires Teflon tapes for proper sealing and is not of good quality.
If you don't want to be frustrated, spend money on something of better quality.
The product is of poor quality as it is made of plastic.

78% liked the versatility of mounting choices, but 22% found the wall-mounting kit flimsy
The connector hose looks funny when mounted 3 feet away from the water faucet because it is excessively long.
78% found it easy to move around the yard, while 22% thought it was too heavy
The connector hose looks funny when mounted 3 feet away from the water faucet because it is too long.
For the price, it's good but doesn't work properly right out of the box.
