use with small amout of house
I purchased this with the assumption that was stated that it would hold 125 ft. of 5/8" hose. I have less than 100 ft. and completely filled it up to where the sides were flemzy. Second mistake I made, I mounted it on the outside of a brick wall with the hardware provided. not good. It almost immediately fell off the wall after putting the hose on it. when installing the leading hose that is included, it is impossible to install as intended with the hose being crimped, tho it doesn't block off all the water pressure. If you are using a 50 ft. piece of hose or less, and it is 1/2" diameter you should be fine as long as you are mounting it to a framed wall. If you are to mount it to a masonary wall you should consider getting tapcons or anchor bolts, which are not in the included hardware. The design also should have been that there were TWO mounting holes at the top, one on each side, rather than just the one, due to when the hose is installed it becomes very top heavy and two mounting screws would stabilize this problem.

Now works Ok But...
This sidewinder hose reel worked on my house wall near the outdoor faucet for about 20 years, Then it failed suddenly when the plastic spool broke up and hose connections leaked everywhere, I decided to replace it because it would also no longer wind the hose. The local supplier sent a replacement reel that had no hole in the outer rim. Therefore, it could not be locked in place, I explained that to the MFG.
I have a good shop and am a mechanic. I drilled a 7/8" dia. hole dead center into the outer rim to fix it by using a Forstner bit. That worked perfectly, but it required some skill.
I notified the MFG with my solution and sent the attached picture. They sent me two small parts that meant nothing, but I did not care. I had already fixed it. I figure this was a production error.Read full review...

Very Poor Quality for the Price.
When i saw the hose reel i thought it looked ok, it wasn't to expensive.
When it arrived it was very light to carry, i expected it to be quite heavy, when i removed it from the box i was very surprised at how flexible it was and the plastic very thin.
I also noticed at that time with the postage and packaging costs the reel was far too expensive !!!
I would never of purchased it had I of known the total price in the end.
Turning the reel without the hose is very stiff and the handle is to short and to small.Read full review...

Doesn't Live up to It's Previous Reputation
For the past 20+ years I had wonderful use of Suncast's Wall-Mounted Hose Reel. Recently, it began leaking a lot during use & it was difficult to remedy.
I chose to replace it with a current model. The connection hose to the house was not as strong as the previous one. And there were no wheels to guide the 100' attached garden hose. The new model had a differently designed backplate. Mounting screws did not match up to the holes in my bricks' mortar. I had to buy a brick drill bit and after struggling for an hour chose to give up...unable to finish.
I chose to take the lubricant packet & couple of "O" Rings off the new model and put them to use on the old Suncast, and threw out the new model.
When I tried calling the "Help Line" from Suncast "All Lines were Busy."Read full review...

Wall mount sidewinder hose reel
Mounting to wall is easy using 4 included screws . Unwinds and winds easily. Removable reel a nice feature for winter storage.

Buy this model not the updated one.
I already have one of these wheels and the one I just bought is for my son. It's much better quality than the new updated hose reel. They are cheap made with a cheap short round handle. I looked at them first but easy to spot the cheap made product. I think the company is trying to save money but if I couldn't find one like this, I would have not bought the new model anyway. This older model I do like as I have two of them. Read full review...

Previous Sidewinder lasted 25 years. Going for the next 25 years with this one.
Bought this same hose reel 25 years ago, replaced it with this one. I think it will last for the next 25 years I thought it was a little expensive but it was exactly what I wanted. Easy install. Holds 100 feet of large hose. Hose rolls out and rolls up easily. Very sturdy.Read full review...

Easy to reel, you may need to buy longer screws to secure it.
Leaks slightly at spindle joint even after thick lubrication. This is not a big deal to me, but kept it from getting five stars. works very well with lightweight hose, I would not use it with an old fashioned heavy hose as it may be hard to reel.Read full review...
