Title: Best hose reel ever!
Review: This is my 5th Gorilla hose reel over the years, and not because they have ever needed to be replaced. Super simple assembly, they wind up effortlessly and unwind just as easy. They are as attractive as a hose reel can be, and very durable. My favorite feature is the ease in which they operate. I have bought other hose reels (not cheap ones either) and no other hose reel works this well. Speaking of cheap, these are not inexpensive, but worth the investment. I was able to put 3, 100â stainless steel hoses on this model and still have no problem reeling it up! 300 feet of hose is a lot and I honestly think I could add another.

Title: Excellent product needing a few improvements in the instructions
Review: The product came packed securely with all the required hardware and tools needed to put it together. It has a sturdy solid feel with aluminum and plastic designed to work together appropriately. The brass fittings and heavy duty hose that comes with this product show this to be a rugged and dependable hose reel. My belief is that this product rates in the top two or three percent of hose reels based on the design, materials, and workmanship. Some products scream "cheap" by their very appearance but this is NOT one of them.There are a few improvements that could be incorporated into the instructions. For example, the assembly instruction manual says nothing about the gorilla icon on the hose reel but there is a cardboard piece zip tied to the main assembly with these words on it, "Align the Gorilla icon FIRST." Too bad I followed the instructions and didn't look at any cardboard attachments. There is no reason that all appropriate instructions should not be in one place for easy reference and to prevent mistakes. Another improvement area has to do with the tray assembly that's clipped to the bottom. The instructions show WHERE it goes but they do not speak to the fact that there is a front and a back to the tray with clips having different spacings that must be properly connected to the front rear tubes. If you are mechanically inclined you'll see there's something off if you try to put it on improperly but if you're the average person it may frustrate you. In Step 4 where the crank handled is installed the bolt has a reverse thread on it. Nothing about this is said in the instructions. Once again you will be frustrated until you finally figure out that it's set up to thread backwards. All these things can be by updated instructions but I still give this product an extremely high recommendation. I fully expect to last this far, far, beyond the seven-year warranty. In my estimation, it's definitely worth the price.

Title: This is a nifty and sturdy hose reel!
Review: If you treat it well, it will do the job. It doesnât rotate well, so you just need to be thoughtful about putting it where you need it and adjusting the position if you are targeting a different section of the yard. The reel is smartly designed and a huge improvement over our last one.

Title: Sturdy Hose Reel
Review: This is a very solid, well built, and sturdy hose reel. I am tired of those cheap, plastic hose reels that don't hold up to the heat or cold. Winding mechanisms always fail after a few months and the plastic parts break. Not so, with this Gorilla Hose Reel. It is solidly builts, has aluminum parts, and heavy duty, solid wheels. The feeder hose and connections to water supply are solid brass and the feeder hose is long and heavy duty, not that flimsy, light-weight junk requiring hose clamps. The only down-side is the assembly instructions, which are somewhat vague regarding the aluminum tubes for the handles and legs. It's easy to get them mixed up. Better labeling of parts would be helpful. This is the reason for 4 stars.

Title: Built to Last
Review: My Home Depot all-plastic special finally bit the dust after six years and a recent cold spell. Went online to find something more rugged and stumbled across the Gorilla. It arrived the other day. It went together easily and is now in use. Definitely an improvement in quality over the previous caddy. I expect this one to last quite a bit longer based solely on how it is built. It's the same size and shape as the one I'm replacing so have no issues with the design and ergonomics.

Title: Mobile and Versatile
Review: I love this Hose Reel. It is so handy to have around the house. It holds a very long hose, but is easy to relocate, quick and easy to pull hose from the reel and wind it back on (not like other hose reels I have had. Very sturdy and is holding up well after a summer outdoors. It will also be easy to store for the Winter.

Title: Too heavy to move easily
Review: The product seems to be fairly sturdy and will hold the hose length it claims. The only problem is once the hose is rolled onto the real the cart won't move without a lot of effort. Would not recommend
