CPLSTB200B Suncast Hose, Broken within one week

Broken within one week

I bought one of these at a local hardware store and it was broken within one week. The mechanism for spooling the hose onto the reel broke off. It is still usable without it but now the hose gets trapped between the reel and the inside wall. Poor design.

Works Well But Did Not Last
Mine leaked after two years at the seal point on the reel. I would not buy another one after examining how this is put together. Best for someone who likes to buy new things every two years or who enjoys ordering parts and making repairs to cheap plastic items.

We Bought Two - Big Mistake!
We bought two of these hose reels for the front and back of our house. The first one broke after two years of use when the inner hose elbow split down the middle. The second one broke when the outside hose connection snapped. Although replacement parts are available from the manufacturer, these units are not designed for easy disassembly and replacement of parts. You can waste a lot of precious weekend time trying to fix these units. Unfortunately, I now have two hunks of plastic that seemed destined for the landfill. What a shame.
