So far, so good. It took my husband about an hour to assemble it. It looks much more sturdy than our last one of a similar style. Since we live in zone 4, we are putting it inside until next spring, when I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

So this was not very easy to assemble and took a few tries but once I got it all assembled it was just want I needed and wanted . It is very sturdy and easy to reel and unreel hose !

It advertises as holding a long hose. It does. What it doesn't tell you is that you have to unwind the ENTIRE hose in order for water not to spill put of the connector! Not good.
