About Suncast 225 ft. Wicker Style Resin Hose Hideaway with Hose Guide
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
80% liked the adjustable hose guide, but 20% found it did not fit their specific hose
The hose reel rolls up much easier without the complex and friction-ridden hose shifting mechanism.
While cranking in the hose, one hand is needed to thread the hose in, while the other hand cranks. The hose does not settle well.
I find it difficult to move the slide track and get the hose out as it does not slide back and forth smoothly.
83% appreciated the sleek and modern design, though 17% thought it looked cheaply made
I find the product attractive and easy to use. It looks better on my patio than the old open hose reel.
I am returning the product because the design of the second larger 225 ft model is better and I am willing to sacrifice space for it for operational efficiency.
72% appreciated the ample hose storage, though 28% found it could not hold the full length
I found that the hose reel cannot hold a 175ft hose, unless it is of low quality.
I disagree with the claimed capacity of the hose reel. It is not suitable for normal, everyday use with a household hose.
When I connected a 50ft hose, it nearly filled up the entire storage compartment and started leaking at the point where the small feeder hose connects to the unit.
I am using the hose reel with 100ft hoses even though it is rated for 175ft hose.
76% praised the organized hose storage, but 24% thought it was confusing to use
The hose reel comes with 2 metal spikes to hold it in place.
The new hose caddy has a much better rolling mechanism to get the hose back into it.
The picture is misleading and the hose guide does not assist in rolling the hose back onto the reel. It is completely manual.
74% appreciated its leak-free design, though 26% experienced occasional leaks
When I connected a 50ft hose and turned on the water, the hose reel started leaking immediately.
The garden-hose-reel is leaking.
After one year, my internal components cracked and water started leaking out, resulting in a low rating.
After inserting a new washer, the hose reel still leaked.

77% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 23% experienced rusting
I feel that the product has great quality, but every hose hideaway has a limited lifespan. This product has not disappointed me, but it won't last for 5+ years.
The pegs to hold the unit in the ground are of poor quality and it is difficult to hold the unit in place when rolling/unrolling the hose.
The product looks nice, but one should be careful not to put too much pressure on the plastic parts as they could snap.
The construction of the product is poor with cheap plastic bracket edges. One of the edges broke off cleanly, indicating low material quality.

71% liked the versatility of mounting choices, but 29% found the wall-mounting kit flimsy
I am still trying to figure out how to mount the hose reel so that it doesn't slide around when I pull out the hose. It is very light.
80% found it easy to move around the yard, while 20% thought it was too heavy
The handle has a feature that makes it easier to roll the hose reel.
The holes for the stakes are in the back of the unit, making it impossible to keep it close to the house.
