Suncast CPLSTA125B 125' Wall-Mounted Side Tracker Garden Hose Reel for 5/8\" Hose

This hose reel replaced a unitwith 10 years of use which had fallen apart which is mounted on a backyard panel. This unit mounted on the existing panel. Pnel is mounted to two steel posts driven in th ground. Hopefully this hose reel will function well

This is my second Suncast hose handler that I bought from Walmart, they are nice and holds up in the weather.

I would have never thought hanging it would be so easy . It took me 15 minutes to pug it on the. Wall. Great product with a nice price !

Surprisingly thin and flimsy plastic. Overall structure stiffens up once secured to solid wall. Aesthetically pleasing. Holds my 100 feet of 5/8 inch hose. Two things I'll watch for; water does flow through the reel to the hose so I'll be watching for leaks and will it get brittle in the north Florida winter? If it passes these two markers, it'll be a 5 star and strong buy, if not, just cheap plastic junk. I've given best and worse scenario here, only time can give it a grade…

So far so good but wonder if there's away to take the front piece of the wheel part off. It is very difficult to get your hands or a wrench in to tighten/loosen the hose. I think there must be away but is not mentioned in the instructions and I don't want to force it and risk breaking it.

This is made to be hung up outside. That means it will be subject to heat and cold, and if you live in Florida like I do - extreme heat. I've owned about 4 of these over the years, so it goes without saying that I like the product. However, it could be made a little sturdier. Additionally, it's really tough to stop the hose from leaking at the connection on the reel, so that could be improved also. All that being said it fills my needs- just wished it'd last longer.

I haven’t mounted this reel yet, the weather hasn’t been warm enough. But it has all the features I want, and I respect Suncast for the quality of their products and I am sure this will be another good quality item. The price is excellent, and I am looking forward to installing it. It comes with the attaching hose too, so a complete purchase, with no other bits and pieces to buy. Very straightforward mounting instructions. Hardware is for mounting on wood or drywall if going in your garage (would suggest locating stud in drywall). I have held off a star because it is not in use yet, and I can’t speak to its durability.

put this on the side of my house that isn't exposed to the hot sun but the yuma az. temps stay over 100 degrees for 5 months straight, the intense heat made it brittle and it fell apart. worked fine for about 6 mos.

When hose in with pressure it gets disconnected from reel , stop using it after two weeks after I got it.

Garbage, they Leak like Crazy! The connection fitting are made of cheap plastic!
