Customer Reviews:

TOO small for my house. [Posted on 2007-05-15]
I think this maybe my own fault, this item sure looked alot more sturdy over the internet than it did when I got it. When I received it I thought they had sent me an electric cord reel instead of a waterhose reel. As I am learning from other internet purchases you might want to take out a ruler and get an idea as in this case 1/2" in a hose is not as big as it appears maybe w/ tlc it might last a yr. but not in my yard I gave mine to a new neighbor who needed a hose but only had a postage stamp of a yard to water. The plastic reel it self,once you added water to hose didn't look like it would actually be able to be rolled back in i'll have to check w/ the neighbor and see.

The Best Lightweight Hose Reel "BRASS COUPLINGS" [Posted on 2007-07-14]
LR Nelson Ultra-Convenient Lightweight Hose Reel with 1/2-Inch-by-35-Foot Hose and 8-Foot Leader Hose, Yellow/gray #7804
I've waited a few months to review this Nelson hose reel so I could give it a good workout. In the past year or two I have gone through 3 similar units that all started leaking because they all, in a short time, cracked at the plastic couplings. This Nelson brand has BRASS COUPLINGS!!! (Yea metal not plastic)... No way for it to crack like the others, this one should last a long time. A great bonus is the long 8 foot leader hose (Also with brass couplings) as opposed to the 3-4 foot ones you get with other models (With cheap plastic couplings). I'm sure I now have a unit that will last for years!!! Aah,...I'm a happy hoser now!!!................In response to "Sally's" review (May 15, 2007), this is a small LIGHTWEIGHT hose and reel to be used in small areas such as gardens, decks, patios, etc... It is very quick and easy to unroll and rewind. If you have a large backyard I suggest you look for a long heavy duty hose and reel...

Too small and light weight for medium size patio [Posted on 2008-03-30]
AS stated by another reviewer, this also probably was my own fault. I have a medium size patio, with a lot of plants to water and some grassy area around the perimeter. This product would be fine to just water some plants, but hosing off the concrete , etc. was not possible with the 1/2" hose. The holder is also very light weight and drags along with the hose.
When I received the package, it was so small, I couldn't believe a hose AND holder was actually in it.
That being said, there is nothing wrong with the product itself,
just be sure you are going to use it in a VERY, VERY small area. To give you an idea of it's size, the box that the entire thing (with hose,) comes in is 12x12x14. I also don't like the idea that no where on the site is their return policy. You have to email them with your order number to find out. So I am waiting.
