I hate rolling up hoses and reel carts always leak or are unwieldy. The Gardena system is pricey, but I think it will last a long time.We had to make a "pilot " hole in our hard ground and add water to get the spike twisted in. The spike allows the reel to swivel which makes pulling hose easier. The retraction system is a breeze. The quick connects work with our existing brass quick connects. We will easily be able to store the reel for the winter and it has a cap to cover the ground sleeve. They have thought of everything although I will miss the storage compartment on our cheap old plastic reel.We have not had a pressure issue with the smaller diameter hose, but our water pressure isn't the greatest to begin with. I suppose it would be nice to have a 5/8" hose or be able to wind on your own, but have no complaints.Our foster dog zeroed in on any hose lying on the ground within seconds and had destroyed 2 hoses within days, but strangely enough does not recognize this system as a hose or even as something to chew on! And, with the retractable hose I am no longer having to completely roll up plain old hose to avoid her hose Spidey senses. Lucky us.Overall, I would buy again.

Overall was simple to install, works great, nice and solid, great quality, very handy. The hose diameter is a little smaller than your typical hose but not a surprise just something to know. The hose retracts well, would consider another one of these if needed.

Get it- you won’t regret it! I was so tired for fighting with my last hose reel in a box. This one is so easy to use, and it rolls itself back up. Highly recommend it!!

I think overall this product is pretty good and worth the price. Couple takeaways….-I bought the one with the mount that screws into the ground. Unfortunately I live in the desert and with our soil conditions this was not going to work. So I had to dig a hole and pour concrete. That said, I’m glad I did cause now it’s very sturdy.-the part are proprietary, but you can buy adaptors so that you can use other attachments.-this hose itself is thin but overall I still get decent pressure. I do switch hoses when I put my hose into the pool to top it off.I went back and forth for a few months mulling over wether I want to but this or not, but in the end I’m glad I did. Would definitely recommend.

This hose is fabulous. It took me about 20 minutes to set up. It swivels, has great water pressure, and retracts quickly like the old-style vacuum cleaner cords. It does not tangle inside. Well constructed. Brilliant design. I love it so much that I ordered and just received a second one for the front yard. This time, it took about 10 minutes to set up.

These hose reels have been the best so far. Easy to setup and even easier to use.

Where to start - it’s cheap plastic makes it feel terrible. The housing for the hose doesn’t fit correctly on the pole and the hose leaks. Overall for the price this is a waste I’d say skip this and try something else
