This reel is more attractive than the plastic versions available in Big Box Stores. It works well. The only problem is that the bolt that is supposed to secure the crank is too long to tighten inside the cylinder of the reel.

Gets the job done, but not the easiest to put together, and doesn't feel very sturdy. The first picture is somewhat misleading, the 200 ft reel is the one shaped like a shopping cart. Instructions aren't clear about parts needing to face certain ways, there are a lot of sharp edges, and it came already rusted inside the tubes. The "tools" it comes with are all but useless, so be sure to have a 10mm socket wrench and phillips head screwdriver on hand, as well as a pair of gloves so you don't slice your hands up like I did (or at least make sure you're up to date on your tetanus shot and that your bandaid supply is robust). Some of the parts felt kind of flimsy, but the main structural parts feel fine. The part that the barrel is screwed to isn't actually attached to the frame, it just sits in a tube, so there's a lot of wiggling when winding/unwinding.

It is definitely an upgrade from the plastic ones I had before. However it is a little hard to roll up the hose. It came in what seemed like a million pieces, but my husband (both of us are in our 70’s were able to put it together in about an hour. Persistence!
