Heavy duty with one caveat
It’s heavy duty, it holds a heavy duty hundred foot hose. Everything checks out with one exception in the design. The handle is just too short. The good news is that makes it compact to stow away but it’s just not nice to roll around because you have to hunch over to get the handle low enough for it to tilt and roll and you have to maintain that uncomfortable hunched over position for the duration of the rolling. If the handle were about 6 inches longer, it would be perfect and if the handle were foldable (maybe with a pin lock), even better. VEVOR, are you listening?

Does the job, with a little rust.
I’ve had this fod over a year now. It works great in the rolling and storing the hose. We put a pretty long hose on it. Maybe 100 feet? I honestly cant remember. But i know when i was looking for a hose, i went to the higher side of what this reel would hold. My only complaint is the rods are the bottom are rusted almost completely through. To be a hose reel, made to be outside and around water, I expected more durability there. It is on wheels so I could roll it into the garage and keep it out of the weather, but that would be a pain, as it doesn’t really maneuver the best.

Better than any plastic alternative
Chances are, if you have a plastic hose reel, unless the entire water connection assembly is made of steel, it will crack at some point and start to leak. Especially if you keep it outdoors all year long, which, let’s be honest, of course you do. The sun’s UV rays alone will age the plastic and it will crack.This hose reel is made of stainless steel. That’s really all you need to know. It does exactly what it looks like it does. The hose connection is tight and doesn’t leak with a proper o-ring, the welds are quite decent, and the only plastic pieces are the wheels. The wheels are fine, but don’t expect to win a street race with this thing, they’re just held in place loosely with a washer and a cotter pin, and they will wobble a bit.Will it rust? Maybe. Sometimes cheap stainless will rust after a while. But for an item like this I don’t really care. Adds character. Plus, you could always just spray it with some rust preventative if that ever becomes an issue.Assembly is fine if you’ve ever used a wrench. I wouldn’t want to tackle it without a 10mm socket wrench or nut driver. A plumber’s adjustable wrench won’t cut it here, trust me.

Hose reel good for the price.
First off the price was very attractive compared to others similar to this reel . I decided to chance the purchase and order this one. It arrived safe and sound with no missing hardware . The directions are ok and common sense would be only needed for assembly which took me about 35 minutes. I used a 10mm combination wrench, a small electric impact with 10 mm socket and a plain flat head screwdriver.The welds look crappy , paint was fine , everything went together very easily . I can see this rusting easily though if left outside like most people intend to do as there are multiple places for rain water to enter the frame tubing , I used electrical tape to “seal” some of the areas on the handles but water will easily get into all the areas where the screw holes are. I suggest drilling some small holes on the very bottom of the frame to left water run out. The handle area is not tight fitting and wobbles some no matter how tight you tighten the bolts .I have 200 feet of very heavy 1 inch contactor grade hose on it. And it handles the weight easily. If and when the hose rotaing/seal area wears out ,like they all do regardless of the price paid, i can easily re make that area better and use the rest as is. I rate this as “good” for the price I paid.
