To its credit, this thing has lasted 8 years.  But it's leaked for most of that time, right at the inlet/bib where the connector hose attaches, and it gets worse and worse every week.  Oh, did I mention the connector hose?  I'm on my third - doesn't last, kinks really easily.

But the nice, hand-towable design?  I'm normal height, normal arm and leg length; it bangs against my leg under tow, and bounces everywhere, because it's not designed right for towing.  (It's not designed right for staying in place, either; a pull on the hose is just as likely to tip the whole thing over as it is to unwind more hose!)

Unlike other reviewers, I still have smooth, excellent crank rewinding of a heavy 5'8" hose after 8 years.  But like the other reviewers, thinking about this hose bib makes me positively cranky!

One star!
