Title: Lasts for a few months, then breaks
Review: The fatal flaw with the design of this hose reel is that it can not support the weight of a 100' hose full of water. The first problem was that the wheel part wanted to separate from the spindle due to the weight of hose. Finally the part you screw to the wall gave way and broke in half after about a year. This is a waste of money - anything plastic is essentially junk. I have now replaced it with a full metal version from another maker that was about three times the price. It looks like it will work forever. Also, this reel BARELY is able to hold 100ft of 5/8" hose. It is probably more suited for 50 or 75ft. If I had it to do all over again, I would have purchased a quality reel the first time.
