Handle bent under pressure of 300ft of hose with water in it. Inlet hose end blew off, bracket broke. This is one week of use everyday!!! Do Not buy under any circumstance. Sams club has one cheaper and 4x as strong. Northern tools suck! I will NEVER go back.

Liberty Garden Products Free Standing Garden Hose Stand With Brass Faucet With 150-Foot Hose Capacity 693-1-Patina Review

Average Reviews:

This is the third one of these I've purchased, and due to one simple change, it's the best of the lot.
Yes, you DO need to dig a hole in the ground and securely set this thing in place -- after all, it's going be holding 20, 30, or 40 pounds or more of hose and you need it to be stable.
Other models I've owned have featured a horizontal input connection, which has put a strain in the supply hose (the one coming from your spigot or other water source. Typically, these hose stands are backed up against a wall, and you end up having to permanently bend your supply hose to accommodate the horizontal input and squeeze it in place. This eventually leads to failure, and puts undue sideways pressure on the input in the back of the stand.
THIS model has a 90-degree input connection, and points DOWNWARD -- utterly brilliant! Your supply hose lays on the ground, and easily and naturally turns upwards to connect to the back of the hose stand. No awkwardly-bent connections, no strain, etc. What a great idea!
This product appears to be all steel and brass, and gives the impression that it'll last a long, long time.
Worth every penny of the asking price, I recommend this stand without reservation!

Suncast 225-Foot Capacity Hosemobile Garden Hose Reel Cart, Bronze/Taupe SFB200B
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The barrel around which the hose is coiled has a diameter only a few inches wide. That might be okay if you were coiling rope, but a hose does not easily wind so tightly. When winding, this places a great deal of strain on the hose and on the crank, which is made entirely out of snapped-together plastic parts. It breaks apart with every other use, and snapping it back together is not straightforward.

The connectors for both the inlet and outlet hoses are plastic, and do not seal tightly, causing leakage. The included washers were nearly useless; I replaced them immediately, which helped somewhat. The angles of the connectors are quite sharp. This causes the hoses to pinch, restricting water flow and leading to cracking at those points.
The wheels provide only about a half inch of clearance beneath the bottom of the cart. So unless you are rolling it on a perfectly flat surface, you end up dragging it, pulling up clumps of grass as you go. It is really inexcusable that such a product could ever be released.

Apex 8605-130 NeverKink 5/8-Inch-by-130-Foot Heavy Duty Reel Hose Review

Apex 8605-130 NeverKink 5/8-Inch-by-130-Foot Heavy Duty Reel Hose
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The best hose I ever bought was an Apex hose. It is a light green, matte-colored, soft man-made material (sort of like rubber) that doesn't seem to be affected by being left outdoors for the last 5 years. I love it because it is extremely limp, but as limp as it is it doesn't kink or collapse. Yet it also has no memory, It is the easiest of any hose I have ever had to coil. When you lay the hose down even after being coiled for a year it has no memory of those coils and lays perfectly straight.
So when I bought this hose I was expecting more of the same. Unfortunately that is not the case. While it is a good hose it doesn't match the old hose in quality. The new hose is a shiny dark green hard plastic that is very stiff and difficult to coil. For example, if I hold the end of the old hose and start feeding it out of my hand, it will remain horizontal for only about 6 inches before it begins to bend down. The new hose can be extended for almost 2 feet before it begins to sag down. Thats a stiff hose! This is a very undesirable characteristic in a garden hose.
But it works as advertised. It will not kink from ordinary use though it will kink if you work with short lengths (

This copper pot was lighter weight than I expected and was much too
small for a 150-foot hose.

Click Here to see more reviews about: CobraCo HHRIRN-S Round Hammered Copper Finish Hose Holder

The CobraCo Round Hammered Copper Finish Hose Holder provides a brilliant solution to messy and tangled garden hoses. Its copper finish is treated with a green patina for a more natural look. The steel container itself will hold up to 150 feet of 5/8 inch garden hose in a small space, for subtle and efficient lawn organization. With its sturdy yet stunning design, you can use it to store firewood outside, hold magazines in the family room, or showcase plants on your patio.
Turn an Inconvenience into Part of Your LandscapeThe powder coat copper finish of the CobraCo Hose Holder features a hammered design highlighted by a green patina. To the eye, it appears to be a decorative container that blends in on your deck, patio, or in your garden. At 18 inches wide, 12 inches high, and 7 pounds, it is sturdy enough to hold its place but light enough to move wherever you want.
Easily Coil and Uncoil Garden HosesLeaving a garden hose out is not only unsightly, but also a tripping hazard. With the convenience of the CobraCo Hose Holder, putting your hose away becomes a less frustrating task. The hose holder has a molded center post inside that allows you to quickly and neatly coil up to 150 feet of 5/8-inch garden hose. And it's just as easy to uncoil the hose when you need to use it again.
Protects Your Hose for Longer LifeTangles and kinks are both inconvenient and can also shorten the life of your hose. The smooth coiling and uncoiling made possible by the CobraCo Hose Holder helps give your hose a longer life. Because garden hoses can leak leftover water from their spout when they're coiled, the holder has holes drilled in the bottom to allow drainage. Keeping the pot dry extends the life of the container. And, by keeping the hose dry, it's less likely to deteriorate.

Gardena 2650 164-Foot Wall Mount Removable Garden Hose Reel With Hose Guide
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the 2nd one I have owned.
Unfortunately I TRIED to leave it out in the winter thinking that if I blew the water out of it (with the air compressor) - it would not be damaged. Not so.
First and last winter the old one saw as it sprang a leak upon reactivation....!!
And locally they were only selling the really expensive one with that retractable hose?
So - I paid a lot of money compared to the first one (about 1.5x) as I had to order it online or would have had to get it from Switzerland!
Summary - this is an awesome portable hose reel - that provides a great way to keep your hose (both diameters) and it is so good that I bought one at 2x the price because I was not ready to use or search for something other.
Just do NOT LEAVE out in the winter and there is a HUGE warning on the instructions about that - I was just testing it.
:) I wish that there were more resellers here in Halifax NS - or even in Atlantic Canada, because I could not find the item I wanted locally and time = $. So I bought it here.
No issues with Amazon at all - and FAST shipping!

Well this is an ok device, but the spike isn't long enough to be really useful. It needs to be about 6" or 8" longer to really hold its footing in most applications. I had to go to the hardware store and buy a 24" long snug-fitting piece of pipe that I drove into the ground and then put this inside it to keep it from pulling out of the ground. Once I did that, it worked well, but it would have been great if it were designed better from the beginning.

Have not purchased these yet, but do own several of the LR Nelson N109C quick disconnects.
I was curious was if the new #50336 would be compatible with the older N109C so I contacted LR Nelson directly.
Their response...
They are exactly the same item,just re-numbered.
Hope this helps someone.
Jeff
Update 7/7/10: I purchased the #50336 in August 2009 and they work with and look exactly like my older N109C that I ordered from Amazon in the years past.I figured I'd mention this as one reviewer stated that the older N109C has an auto shutoff in it and restricts flow. Nelson did make an auto shut-off model in the past (which I also own) but the N109C model absolutely does not have any type of shut-off in it.

American Specialty RT50 Handi-Hose And Reel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Not what you want for daily use in your yard. Sun and abuse will weaken the fabric of the hose over time and create the pinleaks noted by other reviews. BUT it's great for occasional use, easy to handle and transport, very easy and space-saving to store. Perfect for campers/RV if you aren't a full-timer. I used it last year to weekly refill our garden pond during the winter - quick to drain & roll up before my hands or the hose froze, and could store in a small spot indoors by the back door. Hubby left it out to freeze a couple times, so by spring it was starting to leak. The ones in the camper are 3 yr old, used a lot (but not continuously), and working fine.
