About Liberty Garden Products 712 Single Arm Navigator Multi-Directional Garden Hose Reel
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
84% liked the adjustable hose guide, but 16% found it did not fit their specific hose
I chose this model because its drum can rotate in different directions, allowing me to deploy the hose towards either the front or rear of my property.
The spring pin's generous chamfer at the bottom of its engagement with the flange holes causes the reel assembly to pivot freely, making it an unwieldy three-handed operation.
78% appreciated the ample hose storage, though 22% found it could not hold the full length
The capacity is perfect as it easily holds a double length of Flexzilla hose (100 ft).
I can only use up to 100 feet of garden hose on the hose reel, unless I am using a thin garden hose.
78% praised the organized hose storage
This reel has proved particularly useful for activities like car washing, plant irrigation, and even for cleaning the flat roof and second-floor windows.
79% appreciated its leak-free design, though 21% experienced occasional leaks
I noticed that the garden hose reel leaks at the feeder hose connection even after tightening it.
After 6 weeks of installation, the hose reel started leaking.
I initially thought the product was leaking, but later discovered that it was due to using a hose with a long end protector. Switching hoses stopped the leak.
I installed the garden hose reel and found that it leaked through the weld holding the male hose fitting onto the tubing.

82% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 18% experienced rusting
The product has dents and scraped paint, indicating a quality control fail.
On the first use, the brass swivel shot out of the housing, indicating poor quality control.
80% liked the versatility of mounting choices, but 20% found the wall-mounting kit flimsy
I suggest taking clear pictures of where you want to mount it, the type of surface, and showing them to knowledgeable folks at the local hardware store for the recommended screw and anchor needed for that particular installation, especially if you are unfamiliar with the mounting options.
Mounting the product was very easy for me and I used larger lag bolts with washers to ensure it was securely fastened to the wall.
The reel is fully assembled except for the handle and one needs to purchase parts to mount it to their desired location at home.
When I mounted the bracket on a brick wall, it worked loose because it is narrow.
77% found it easy to move around the yard
The handle of the hose reel is easy to use and ergonomically stable.
