 A low-quality novelty July 17, 2006

It does work, but that is about as good as it gets. The quality of the materials used is quite low. I found that you sometimes have to pull pretty hard to unwind the hose which can be annoying. The worse problem is that I had this product for about 2 months and it already has a serious internal leak. These were summer months (no freeze occurred). My next step is to just throw it away and start over with a better product.

I normally do not write reviews, but in this case I think that it is necessary.
My wife & I are avid gardeners and there is probably not a day during the gardening season that we do not use our garden hose.
I purchased a Robo winder around 5 years ago (could be 7 or 8) and we were extremely pleased with it. We left it outside all year round and only disconnected the inlet hose during our Illinois winters.
We also purchased a 75 ft unit that we have also performed the same maintenance on, which is none and also found this unit GREAT.
Finally had to replace my Robo Winder with new version RW-12581 and found this new version faster and much, much smaller and more compact then my trusty Robo Winder.
I was even able to install a small sprinkler to the discharge hose to water those neglected areas instead of dumping the discharge water down a drain.
I had looked at all of the alterative units (electric, hand windups) and this unit is simply the BEST.
I wish that everything I purchased worked as well.

I've been using this ReelSmart model heavily for a year now, with no wear & tear at all. Because I wasn't willing to drill anchor holes in my nice new concrete slab, I've been using it unanchored, with a heavy piece of garden statuary sitting on top to weight it down (and camouflage it as a table). I also left it out (under cover) all winter -- a fierce, cold one this year, No leaks, no problems, no degradation of materials. Because it's unanchored, unreeling works much better if I stand at the reel and pull out as much as I need -- when I do it from a distance and at an angle, the box travels a bit. But if I had the heart to bolt it in place like the directions told me to, unreeling wouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a second one -- in fact, I visited this site to do just that. I've also got a professional gardener doing some work for me, and he is flat-out in love with this thing!
 My wife loves it May 4, 2007

Have had it for about a month - maxed it out with 125 ft of hose. While the rewind is slow - it is slow and steady. Yes you have to make sure it does not kink as it is being rewound otherwise the mechanism will stop - but other than that has worked fine.
Can't address durability - but so far so good.

Just ordered a second one for the front yard faucet. Have had one in the back yard for a year now. Works great! Makes watering a pleasure rather than a pain when putting the hose away. A great addition to the yard.
