Perfect for the yard.
It works perfectly I bought two of them one for the front yard and one for the back yard, I recommend this product for a space saver and keeping your yard clear of clutter.

CHEAP n Flimsy
Arrived with reel bent/warped. Missing one screw. 3-ft lead hose KINKS so flow is lessened. Flimsy and feels like it'll break or fall apart. Luckily, this is for a hose I rarely need to use so, I didn't want to bother with return process. Also, I have 50-ft heavy duty hose and very hard to reel in. If you must purchase this, which I highly do Not recommend, I'd suggest using easily flexible hose. Cheap, got what I paid for. smh.

    Its Crap!
    Leaked - paid my handyman to come install on my 4x4 pergola post. It needed a wider piece of wood to mount - so I paid him to create a box planter around the post so the reel could be mounted (more $$). All set, turned on water and gush!!! Supposedly there are O rings in the center to be able to leave the water on, but turn the sprayer off. He said it's faulty and unable to be fixed - in his words It's Crap! Returned - so disappointed in Suncast

    Cost effective small hose reel
    Inexpensive solution for easy storage of a local hose. I'm not sure if it'd hold 100' of 5/8" hose, but it does hold 50' of 3/4" hose. Not super rugged, but adequate. The included leader hose (to connect the reel to the water supply) tends to kink if it has to bend.

    Good hose reel if installing on wood.
    There are no instructions for installing on stucco, the most common substrate used in housing in Southern California. The instructions say to consult a hardware store.

    Returned to Walmart Due to Leakage Problem
    Purchased two reels, one each for front and back yards. One worked OK, the other sprung a major leak in the hub if rotated while water pressure was on. Checked seals and reinstalled several times, making sure the reel locked correctly onto the hub…...no luck. Contacted Suncast and checked o-rings as instructed….still leaked. Didn't want to take a chance on future problems so I returned both units to Walmart.

    NEVER AGAIN!
    Ordered on-line for in-store pickup. Worst shopping experience of my life and I've been around over half a centry. This was the most un-organized poorly run operation imaginable with some incredibly rude employees. What should have been a simple 5 to 10 min pick-up turned into over an hour and a half of waiting, frustration, trips in and out of the store, and very rude treatment. I will never, NEVER shop Walmart on-line again and to top it all off the product was terrible. Parts were missing that took two week to replace and when I finally rot it installed it leaked all over. After dealing with Suncast I was told to return it to Walmart for a refund - I'd rather just throw it in the trash then to further deal with Walmart.

    It's very product well worth the money easy to ins
    This is a great product I had one just like it it lasted for years the rubber O rings wore out and even if I replaced them it seemed to be worn the only thing I didn't like about the new 1 was the hose was a little bit short

    Easy to install and works well.
    Easy to install and use. I did not use the supplied connection hose as I had a spare stainless clad washing machine hose. Now I do not need to leave the garden hose laying on my lawn to get caught up in the mower.

    Leader hose kinks, fix found
    The leader hose kinks when feeding it through the slot. My son fixed it by splicing in a heater hose elbow to prevent the hose from kinking and create a smooth path for it to fit into the slot.

    Nice simple hose reel for a great price.
    For the price, you cant go wrong. I got this reel on sale for under $30 and if you keep in mind that price point, its a great bang for the buck. The first thing I noticed was the color is not the same as the listing; definitely more of a griege than brown. Personally I think thats A good thing as it will work well against a grey house or a brown house. Using a 50ft full-rubber 5/8 hose. The reel feels like good quality. It unravels nice and uniform and there are no noticeable points of vulnerability. The way the plastic fittings connect to the hose has me slightly concerned if its longevity, but short term I have seen zero issues. If this reel was metal instead of plastic it would be easily $150 in price. Overall very happy for what it does.

    Piece of Junk
    I followed the installation instructions to a T and when I hooked the hose up and turned the water on, the unit leaked at the point where the reel connects to the spindle. As far as I'm concerned it was a complete waste of money. I'm very disappointed.

    good value for the money
    I purchased 2 of these, for the side and back of my house. I already had a "container" type reel, but I wanted something off the ground, and with the other type,I had a tangled hose often. These were easy to attach to the house, a basic drill is all you need. The piece that stays in place is lightweight but sturdy, and the reel itself is as well. I was worried that my 75 ft hose would be too heavy for it but it was fine. I wouldn't suggest anything longer though, the wheel is plastic, and would easily fall off if I had a bigger or heavier hose. It winds easily, when I go to unwind it as I walk out into my yard, it unwinds easily and with no problems. When I am finished and go to put it away, it is very easy to wind and at the same time, guide it onto the reel to make sure it isn't all clumped up or kinked.One of the best selling points to me, is the easy removal of the wheel for winter storage, leaving the bracket in place on the house. All in all, it's well made product, and works great, especially for the price. If one breaks in the ear future, it wouldn't be horrible to have to replace it. This would be a nice gift for a new homeowner or a summer "thank you" gift to friends or neighbors.

    Quick and easy to install
    This was much easier to install than I thought and delightful for that reason alone. Worked well and best of all no leaks. I replaces an almost identical one by the same manufacturer that lasted me many years. The old one eventually developed a leak just from two tiny rubber O rings that eventually went bad over time. It would have been nice to just get replacements rather than scraping the housing which was still in perfect condition. That seemed quite a waste. The new one has a parts list and seems to open the possibility the O rings can be obtained. I sure will save the new ones parts list.

    Good product, poor quality control
    Purchased and installed one. Worked well. Purchased a second for another location, and found the hose connection tube in the reel was split and splintered in a way that was unlikely to have happened after assembly was completed. Walmart refunded my money, and I'm waiting a second two weeks for my reordered reel to arrive at the local store. Side note: The mounting screws provided would likely only work on wood siding. My installations are free standing on 2x8s spanning 4x4 posts.
