This was everything we hoped it would be. I can wash vegetables before taking them in the house, can rinse my hands when I forgot to put my gloves on. Works as advertised and the price was great more than $20 less than elsewhere.
***Much Better Than JUST a Hose Reel!*** June 9, 2008
J. Tomaszewski (Chicago, IL)
I was originally looking for the regular - if you can call it that - No Crank hose reels. I saw this one and thought the utility of it was worth the extra fifteen bucks. It was easy to put together, despite the lack of in-depth written instructions, as long as you can follow a diagram-style booklet. I installed it using a couple of thin metal tent stakes which work very well for the purpose.
Everything works great - the sink is handy and the hose reel works excellent. You need to guide the hose in with your hand while it is self-cranking, but this is no big deal. Especially since you can wash your hand at the sink! Use a lifetime, high-quality hose with this product as the reel is exposed to the elements and plastic water hose fittings (as on the cart) are easy to damage from regular hose replacement. I would expect this product to last a good 5-8 years with constant environmental exposure. I purchased the No-Kink lifetime hose for it and it is the best hose, thus far, I've owned. Brass fittings would have been nice, but the price would have to change.
If you are in the market for an automatic hose reel I would recommend the extra utility of this product - especially for the back yard.
A must have for any yard or deck June 9, 2008

This was the best gift I could have given my husband who likes to Bar-B-Q
on our roof top deck. Cleanup and prep is so much easier when the sink is next to the grill!!! He loves it. Not to mention is makes life easier for me with my mini garden.

What a wondeful product.A real convenience to wash off garden vegtables,or your hands,without going into the house. I could not believe it went togeather so easy,without tools,screws,pins etc. Everything just snaped into place.Everything works just as stated.You might have to adjust the lengths of the hoses,depending on its location.That should be easy,any hardware store has the fittings.I would highly recommend this product.

At first I thought this would be a fancy toy and was pleasantly surprised to see that this is a workhorse for all kinds of house related things: washing dogs (small ones are O.K. but big ones need a lot more), gardening projects especially when water, soap and general cleaning items and vehicle cleaning requirements such as cars, vans, boats, campers etc.
When all the pieces are sealed (please buy a roll of teflon tape to make sure you have a tight fit between couplers) this sink station really works well. Moreover, it is so flexible when you need additional sources for water use. For example, if you are washing a small dog the used water can go down the floor drain without any problems. When you finish you can rinse off the floor with the hose and not have to disconnect the sink hoses. When you are finished the hose will roll-up so smoothly you will be amazed as I was. Of course, it does not take much to amaze me. That new FM radio band still amazes me.
This would be a "5" if it could hold a larger dog. I do not think a dog much bigger than a Jack Russell would fit without a few problems.
