Liberty Garden 709 Steel Wall/Floor Mounted Hose Reel, Holds 200-Feet of 5/8-Inch Hose – Tan, 17.6 x 22 x 15

Best hose wheel ever.
This is one of the greatest presents I have ever given myself. It’s more than easy to assemble and it works beautifully. If you’re a senior citizen struggling with your hose, you need this. It’s absolutely worth the money.

Built like a tank!
This hose reel is built like a tank! The crank is smooth and rolls up my hose quickly. The hose connections are great quality.It has pre drilled holes for mounting on a wall and holes that I used to drive rebar in the ground to hold it down in one place by my outside water faucet. Highly recommend.

Design flaws
1) I purchased 5 of these because the reviews seemed positive. Sadly, every single one leaks after unwinding and rewinding the hose back up a few times. This is because the unit’s brass fittings wiggle loose no matter how many times I remove the hoses and take everything apart to tighten. This process is a pain and time consuming. Try doing it over and over with 6 of these and you may understand my frustration. 2) A quality hose line with a decent female fitting will not attach to the frame’s male fitting because of the tight bend leading to the male threaded part on the unit. There is a notch cut out on the core cylinder to allow for the hose fitting, but it’s not big enough to do the job it is supposed to do. So, your only option to attach a lead line other than the cheap, short, small diameter one that comes with it, is to buy another cheap, but longer and wider diameter lead line that probably won’t hold up and may leak at the connection. 3)Because the unit does not swivel, you can only unwind and wind in a straight line. 4) The unit falls over when unwinding or rewinging unless you bolt or screw down to a heavy, heavy, heavy base, or drive u shaped spikes into the ground over the legs to help keep it from flipping over and in one place which means you can’t move it somewhere else by even a few inches. After spending close to $600 to tidy up the good quality hoses in my yard, I am more than disappointed in this winder. I expected a great deal more at this price point. A quality hose winder would be a blessing, but this one has serious design flaws that can only be overcome by redesigning the unit with the above problems in mind. So now I am stuck with these winders around my yard and miles of unwound hoses because I just gave up. When time permits, I will have to search for a better solution.

Sturdy and well coated, but could be a lot better
Solid steel and well-coated. It works well for my purpose, but I do have A LOT of gripes about it.1.) The hose attachment for the reel is too close to the metal for most hose connectors. Like other reviewers mentioned, this is really a royal PITA. Either you’re forced to buy a different hose or try to modify it. I opted for the latter: I used a heat gun at its highest setting to heat up the pipe while gripping it with vice grips. I was able to bend it enough to move it further away and attach my hose.2.) Why the odd width distance of 16 and 1/4″ between hole mounts? Residential studs are 16″ apart, not 16.25″. That’s a huge oversight. I had to use a Dremel and stone bit to widen the holes to get it to match 16″ for my existing bolts. I then had to drill two new holes to match my existing mount through a stone facade over concrete. Why not add some more mounting holes that are 16″ apart? Or better yet, just use 16″ to match studs in the first place? Even 16″ apart on this frame leaves little to no room for washers and nuts. After modifying it for the standard 16″, my deep socket wrench barely fit to tighten it down (see photos).3.) The plastic bearings/bushings are an insult to an otherwise sturdy hose reel. Why have an expensive all-steel hose reel only to cheap out on the bearings for the reel itself? I’d rather pay $10-20 more for sealed metal bearings or metal sleeves with nylon coatings.4.) The rotation of the brass hose fitting from the inside of the reel has quite a bit of resistance. It works, but it’s always putting pressure on the short hose that attaches to my spigot when I turn the reel.5.) The short hose used to attach the reel to a spigot was kinked in two places in the box. I had to use a heat gun to soften the hose and force it to relax a bit. That’s either poor packaging or a really poor hose.In 2025 this hose reel needs a complete redesign. It works, but only after modifying it.

Love the stainless steel. Doesn’t leak and rolls hose up nice. I have a 100’ of 5/8” HD hose and lots of room left. You would need to have quite small hose to get 250’ feet on as advertised. Would buy again, not cheap but good value that should last a long time and not break down like the plastic ones.
