This Powerwind  PW100 arrived in good condition, and after the battery charged to "full" I set the unit up.  Like others, I found the unit would not take a 100 foot 3/4 inch garden hose.  Since I only need 50 feet for the yard, that's what I ended up using. (the 100 foot hose was retired)

The hose pulls out easily, and winds itself very fast.  To get this ease of use, I had to "train" the hose to the reel.  I find, with the water on, the hose reels in and out the best.  Only time will tell if this unit holds up, but my initial opinion is 5 stars.  (it would have gotten 4 1/2 stars if available, because it would not take 100 feet of hose.  It would have taken 75 feet with no trouble.)
