SuncastCPLSMW200 SMW200 Hose Reel, Plastic, Beige

Great hose cart. Easy to use, compact and nice looking. 5 stars. Thank you.

This is sturdy well designed hose reel.I have it on my patio and the wicker finish fits with our current furniture. The remarkable design of the hose guide is a great feature. The addition of anchors is a great idea as well to secure it anywhere in your yard.

We are very pleased with our purchase. They are attractive and functional.

The last hose reel I owned lasted 17 years. It was a Suncast. It finally gave up the ghost after record hard freezes at record temperatures for West Texas. The water in the plastic outlet water connector on the reel froze. When it thawed, it cracked slightly. It still worked well except that the leaking became a nuisance. Since I had left that reel and its water-filled hose exposed to the heat and cold of West Texas for 365 days for each of the last 17 years, I think I got my money's worth.So I ordered this new Suncast hose reel with great confidence. I was not disappointed. I have a very heavy-duty 75' rubber hose that is pliable, but quite heavy. With a little assistance from me, this new hose reel does an admirable job. And I have no doubt that, plastic parts notwithstanding, this reel should last many years,--just like its Suncast predecessor.What some of the negative reviewers report concerning trouble winding the hose on the reel, etc. seems a bit disingenuous to me. Yard work can be HARD work. Reeling in a hose requires some intelligent choices that I'm guessing some of the reviewers neglected to do, for one reason or another. For instance, you should turn off the water at the faucet so the pressure doesn't keep the hose stiff; remove the hose sprayer so it doesn't add unnecessary drag or catch on grass runners or other objects in the yard; position the hose in a more or less 90-degree angle out from the storage box; and use your left hand to help guide the hose as the smart track guide slides along its track.Yes, it takes a bit of effort, but, as I stated: Yard work is HARD work. And I love it! Thanks, Suncast!PS When I called the Suncast 800 number, I got a perky and helpful young lady (Sandy?). Her answers to my questions and her patience were 5-STAR. Since my 17-year-old hose reel was out of warranty (lol), she tried to find a replacement connector part for me. Alas, that particular reel and the needed part is no longer available. Otherwise, she was going to send me one! Ya gotta love customer service like that!

This is really a good product, I ave another one and it has held up over the years pretty well. Thanks
