It's now very easy to water, rinse my hands or get a quick splash if the BBQ flames are too high. Before, the mere thought of winding out/ winding in the hose, turning a tight knob on/off or just hassling with drips stopped me. Now it's easy. During any outdoor project, I rinse my dirty hands before I enter the house. If it's greasy stuff, i.e. BBQing, it's quick to wet, lather, and rinse to never dirty the door knob. I especially like the quick on/off lever. I never thought I'd use the automatic recoil, but it actually works. The trick is to make a long elongated loop putting the sprocket right at the bottom of the sink before you wind it in. Be careful, it's actually very strong and you don't want your fingers caught in anything.
As for the construction, its not industrial strength. But for most people it will work and the price is right. If you have some heavy duty water jobs in mind like rinsing and agitating a heavy mop this is not strong enough unless you reinforce it well at the bottoms and to the wall.
I originally set my sights on getting something smaller and less obtrusive for aesthetic reasons. But now I find it blends in quite well. Moreover, instead of having two gadgets I have one with a little storage. I even set up a small flat rocked patio leading up to it (just some flat rocks on top of a weed barrier with some mulch in between) next to the main patio in order to accommodate winding in and out. With a few gardening stuff in the shelf it looks quite nice.

This is one of the few Amazon purchases I have been completely disappointed with. The product is very cheaply made, lightweight and with parts fabricated from very thin plastic that I don't believe will hold up to any actual outdoor - or even indoor - usage. After putting it together, I realized that it had been oversold in the descriptions and reviews (written by company employees?) on the Amazon site. So this is one that went back right away. If priced around $40, with free shipping, it may be worth taking a chance on if you reeeely need something as irrelevant as this to replace the good ol' hose and bucket. But at $80-plus as a Gold Box 'deal,' it was still way overpriced. At over $100, it's outrageously overpriced.

Sink works good but does not offer a lot of water pressure. Product works well but is not very sturdy - but then again, it is plastic. Overall, it is a good product for an extra outdoor sink in a needed location.

Easy assembly, even for a relative doofus like me. Surprisingly big sink. I use the drain hoses to wash my feet - no more tracking in! Great value.
