Ames hose reel products leak [Posted on 2007-10-19]
Have tried several Ames hose reel products. They all leak. Ames will send replacement parts, but those leak. One product had wrong parts in kit and I couldn't finish assembly (Ames sent the correct part after a couple of weeks). Also, the plastic retainers holding the handle in the upright position break off, leaving the cart very difficult to move.
Gave it one star because no stars was not an option...

Yep, it's a piece of junk [Posted on 2007-11-27]
I concur with the other reviewers...this really is junk. It leaked like CRAZY (as in water flowing all the way to my neighbor's driveway within the first 10 minutes) and no amount of tightening could stop it. You could never really use the "handy" reel-it-in feature, since the whole contraption is too flimsy to support its own weight. Then it broke one day, just from falling over while I was unreeling hose...the whole handle just broke right off. Other parts soon followed.

I tried to use it until the end of the season, but the leaking progressed to the point where I finally just put it out on the curb the night before trash day. Not surprisingly, nobody garbage-picked it... ;-)

Soooooo not worth any money saved! Get a better model.

Look Elsewhere - poor design and flimsy [Posted on 2007-12-26]
This item is made of a thin, cheap plastic that breaks easily. The design itself is too narrow, and combined with the thin plastic the entire assembly wobbles furiously when you wind the hose. It frequently tips over when unwinding. I've broken the handle twice: once normally winding the hose and the other time when the unit tipped over. I got just a couple of months of use out of the original and the replacement unit. I recommend you save yourself the disappointment buy something more substantial.

Leaks ahoy! [Posted on 2008-05-14]
I concur with the other reviews. I have the product and it has leaked from the start. I tried taking it apart and getting to the source of the leak to no avail. Reeling the hose is handy, but if you want something that does not leak, look elsewhere.

Poor Design - Poor Materials [Posted on 2008-07-08]
I agree with all the other reviews here. The small device which keeps the handle secured into the upright position snapped when I was pushing my reel from over a distance of about 10 feet on smooth concrete. Without a lot of homemade repairs, I don't know how I would get this thing easily moved from place to place. Take everyone's advice - don't buy this reel. It's nothing but cheap junk.
