Tools and Hardware Reviews of REEL SMART OUTDOOR SINK W/RE
Customer Review: Nearly perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
My first one arrived badly damaged in shipping, but that was made right reasonably quickly. Amazon had these for quite a bit less money than folks did locally.
I was mainly after the outdoor/garden sink rather than the powered hose return. However, that hose return has impressed me. It just works, nice and simple with minimal fuss. My daughters now have a place for drinking water (get a drinking water safe short hose for house-to-sink) and always put the hose away after watering.
If you look around, there are a handful of outdoor sinks of this ilk available. This is the best built one and the only one that I can imagine would stand up year after year.
Customer Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this when offered as a lightning deal and after I read the buyers reviews. I hate reeling up hoses so I thought I'd give this a shot. I can use the sink for potting, etc., and I have no problem dealing with the water used to reel up the hose. It assembled easily however I could not get the faucet to snap in so I'm waiting for a friend to come over to help with that part of it. The no crank reel works well even when the hose is off to the side and fully extended. No leaks so far. The drain tube came off once from excess water pressure but I probably had not secured it properly. Not bad all in all. I'll have to wait to see how it holds up over time.Customer Review: Works better than I expected.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am pleased to have a sink outside where there was none before. Not only that, I have a hose that auto-retracts and a aerated sprayer sink. We use this for everything from bathing dogs/cats to cleaning up after painting or planting. It is very convenient to have a way to wash off you hands before entering the house. Anywhere you can run a hose, you can locate this sink.
I can now have a sink on my patio for those barbecue outings. That is a major improvement.
This unit is sturdy, the valve works satisfactorily, and the sink capacity is perfect for gardening duties. I really enjoy using it to fill the dog/cat bowls in the morning.
Customer Review: This truly delivers!!! It works!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was skeptical that the water powered retractable hose reel was just not going to work with my extra long hose.
This thing works flawlessly. There are no water leaks anywhere. It's just awesome.
I used tapcons to secure it to the concrete platform next to the garage where the hose is. You can either screw it in to the wall or to the floor. I did both!! This is a must buy. You'll love it. My mom loves it. You can clean your mop, clean brushes, etc. I used to make a dirt trail from the garage to the kitchen just to use the faucet. Now I do all the cleaning, etc right outside the garage.
Customer Review: Bought late in the year ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this in late fall/early winter so I haven't actually put it through its full paces. I will note that it IS bottom heavy with the hose wrapped on the reel, and the top base connects by sliding the four posts into it - so the weight of the hose reel does allow the top to come off. Not a big deal, but some care should be taken if planning to move this item. If you have never used one of these 'hydro reels' I DEFINATELY recommend them, though. It doesn't use much water to wrap the hose, and after you have worked long in the yard/garden it largely eliminates one of the more time-consuming cleanup duties.
