Customers are mixed about the quality of the winding reel. Some mention it's a heavy duty good quality hose that does what they need it to do, well made, and dependable.

Customers are mixed about the leakage of the winding reel. Some mention that it connects firm and secure without leaking, while others say that it has begun to leak at the end of the hose. The washer in the female end was too small causing it to leak.

"...The video shows the condition the hose came in. It had the beginnings of a small kink but not too bad...." Read more

"...IT does not kink." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the sturdiness of the winding reel. They mention that the hose split in less than a year, the original short section hose burst, and the metal connector split up along the Hose.

"...It had popped...." Read more

"...The metal connector split up along the hose, so that when you hook it up and turn the water on, water sprays out all out the side, soaking your..." Read more

"so far so good. Came with a bend in the hose, but i think that had to do with packaging. Works for what i needed it for though." Read more

"Burst after a few days of use. To be fair, I put an in-line valve at the hose reel and kept it under pressure until it burst at 2 in the morning...." Read more

A nice leader hose with brass couplings

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I was looking for a short hose to put between a faucet and the control center (hose splitters and several timers) for my irrigation system so I can place the control center on a stand rather than mount it on the house.

Turns out it is difficult to find a short water hose. The previous leader hose I got had plastic connectors and even with Teflon tape tape around each connector it generated a bit of a leak, so this time I was specificity looking for a hose with brass couplings. This hose has brass couplings, it forms a good seal on both ends, no leaks.

The video shows the condition the hose came in. It had the beginnings of a small kink but not too bad. Overall, I am pleased and like it better than the hose with plastic couplings.

Works Great-No Leaks!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have a several year old hose reel, and the hose connecting it to the spigot sprung several leaks after last winter. I had a hard time finding a replacement hose locally, so was delighted to find this one on Amazon. It arrived in one day and I hooked it up immediately. It works great, no leaks on either end. It is 6 feet long, a couple of feet longer than the original one, so more convenient. This one has metal (brass?) ends, and they fit perfectly on both ends (the hose reel and the spigot). It was inexpensive and delivered in one day by Amazon--I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The hose is a little stiff, but doesn't cause a problem. Hope it lasts a few years.

Decent leader hose.

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

My last hose popped under the water pressure so I decided on this one. It seems to be well made and has worked fine the past couple months of daily use for our garden. I did notice it leak a couple times when the water pressure is too high but otherwise a great hose!

just a short hose

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

A short, medium-weight hose. The "female connector" model is a standard hose, just shorter than usual-- nothing else makes it uniquely a hose-reel accessory. It's designed to attach to a faucet on one end and take a nozzle on the other end. Build-quality seems fine.

The price is a little high for such a short hose (usually a generic 15' or 25' costs the same), but in my use case the short hose provides convenient access to a low-mounted outdoor faucet. The hose is long enough so I can hang the hose off the edge of my porch (using an attached nozzle), without having to manage the hassle of extra loops of hose. Recommended for similar "short is best" applications.

If you need a hose that doesn't leak then DON'T BUY

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this hose in order to connect to my dehumidifier in my basement for continuous draining. I setup a tight connection between the female part of the hose and the dehumidifier. The hose went into a sink that was at a lower level of the dehumidifier.

It was a 2 minute setup and I ran the machine for an hour in order to check for leaks. There was nothing. It ran great and was emptying water into the sink.

I left it alone and let it run throughout the night. When I woke up and went to my basement, it was flooded with water from the dehumidifier. Now, I originally thought that the connection between the hose and dehumidifier was not tight enough. However, I was wrong. The leak was coming from brass section of the hose; where the female end meets the brass connector was not sealed, so water was pouring out.

If you need a hose that doesn't leak then I strongly recommend not buying this product. I used it for a whole 12 hours and it failed to work properly.

LEAKED LIKE MAD! Amazon sending replacement. USE CARE IN THE HOUSE FOLKS!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

UPDATE AS OF 8-31-15

Due to the failed hose (see below) a new hose was sent promptly and the replacement was excellent and worked fantastically. No issues whatsoever. Review revised to reflect 3 stars (up from 1). Only fair, since the first hose could have caused significant damage to my property had I not seen the issue (and had it not failed so spectacularly and immediately). If you purchase this hose and have it where damages may occur, I encourage you to check on it over the first few weeks (or months) just to make sure no leakage goes on.

---ORIGINAL REVIEW---

This hose looks nice, and seems like a fine hose, but OMG it LEAKS like no mans business! I mean, 1/4 of the total flow comes out the connector, massive leakage! The connection between the spigot and threads is fine (where gasket goes), this leaks just below that; at the swiveling part between threads and the actual rubber hose. No amount of tightening would fix (or did fix) this, it is a flaw within the connector itself, not a gasket or anything.

I notified Amazon and within moments it was approved for return and a new one will be sent. I will update once the replacement arrives. BE CAREFUL! I could have had lots of property damage had this not leaked instantly and it waited until I'd left to leak. Whew!

Hose that saved my life

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2012

Verified Purchase

What can I say about this reel leader hose, it works and it is vary durable. I really thought I had to buy a whole new hose for my reel holder, until I saw this one. Once I put this baby on my reel hose holder, it became clear to me that I want be wasting any more water for the city of Fresno ca. Because I just got started on a water meter and don't want to pay any more then I have too. So thanks a lot for making a great product. Also, to let people now what hose reel I hook it to was, Suncast 100-Foot Capacity Portable/Wall Mountable Garden Hose Reel. Hope this helps people out. Thank you

So far so good!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

This was used as a replacement leader hose (attach from water spicket to hose reel) for our old attachment that came with our hose reel. It had popped. I like that this one is a little longer so you can have a little extra room to move your reel and water outside plants, but don't like so much that it is a bright green (our hose is black rubber). From what I understand it is pretty much a standard size for spickets and should fit most mounts. It is a hose that has worked well for me so far! If you are having spraying/leaking issues from either end of the hose, go to your local Lowes or Home Depot and buy some washers to fit in them. That will do the trick!
