The hose is definitely a bit light weight and there is some pressure loss due to the length at times but other then that I love this item! Might even get another for my front yard

So far, so good. Came with mounting screws and anchors. I used a hammer drill for holes in the brick.You'll definitely need to mount it to something because its too light to stay put while you pull the hose out.The winding spring is stout and it will jerk the hose out of your hand if you don't have a good grip. I walk it back in.Cleaned up the area where I had a 50' hose lying on the ground.My experience with Chinese hoses is not that great. Rarely last more than a year, maybe two. With that in mind and the fact there's mechanical parts involved, I purchased the two year warranty.I'll update if things take a turn.

Was so happy bought another for an additional hose. Sturdy and easy.

I am a gardening and lawn enthusiast for over 50 years. I have studied and purchased many hoses over the years.CONS:1. To accommodate a long hose of 82 feet (25 meters) in this size reel, the diameter of the hose has to be really small. The smaller the internal diameter (ID) of a hose, the less gallons per minute (GPM) it outputs. Hoses normally are available in three different internal diameter sizes. 5/8” is the optimal size to weight ratio and outputs 11-12 GPM. This YESTAR hose has an ID of 5/16” and outputs 5 GPM. ½” is normally the smallest ID residential hose. Greater GPM allows the completion of watering tasks quicker and results in higher pressure from nozzles when cleaning. I use other non-reel larger ID hoses for watering and larger cleaning tasks. The matching smaller ID nozzle should not be switched out with a typical larger diameter nozzle, or the pressure will be decreased.2. When attempting to remove the nozzle, the male connector twisted at the crimp connecting it to the hose. There were not enough threads exposed to use a pair of pliers to keep the connector from twisting. Carefully used a vise to grip the threads to remove the nozzle. When connectors twist at the crimp, they eventually will start leaking at this point.3. I prefer connectors have a hex incorporated into the connector allowing a wrench to be used to lighten tighten or loosen. In the situation above, this would have allowed easy removal of the nozzle.4. There is not a strain relief at the male end of this hose. Repetitive back and forth movements of the nozzle such as hand-watering a yard will weaken the hose causing failure at this point.5. The orange ball-stop connected at the end of the hose is plastic. This is weaker than the rubber stop I have on my pressure washer hose reel. Stepping on the plastic stop on a hard surface will more likely result in damage vs. the rubber stop. I don’t think the lack of a stop will be significant as the nozzle will stop the hose.PROS:1. Excellent price for what you get.2. Long 6’ 5” (2 meters) leader hose. Female connector is hex shaped allowing a wrench to be used if needing to be slightly tightened or removed.3. Hose extracts and retracts nicely.4. Hose does not kink.5. Reel has a nice carrying handle for use when removing reel for indoor storage during winter.6. Sturdy mounting hardware included. Mounts to the wall easily. A 1 ¼” diameter vertical plastic pipe serves as the hinge between the mount and the reel. It simple lifts out without tools. The mount can then be connected to the wall without the reel interfering. There is a ¼” horizontal hole in the bottom of the pipe which can be used to lock the shaft preventing theft.7. Two high quality extra hose washers included.The seller includes in their description… “any problem you can contact us at any time, we can provide return and exchange service (because our factory is not in the U.S., so we do not provide warranty service,”I recommend this but remember the long 82 foot length comes at the expense of a low 5 GPM.

I use this for mainly for carwash. Works well and very satisfied.

Absolutely love this hose, no more having water hoses left laying in the yard. I was not impressed with the plastic bracket,but so far so good. Rewinds with just a little pull on it

The expandable garden hose sees a lot of use in my yard. Previously, I only used open hoses. This reel is built-in and can rotate 180 degrees once mounted on the wall, making it very flexible to use. It has excellent stretch and retraction capabilities, making it easy to handle. The overall material feels sturdy, and I believe this is a worthwhile investment for a hose reel.
