Tools and Hardware Reviews of Suncast PW100 Powerwind 100-Foot Capacity Automatic Rewind Garden Hose Reel
Customer Review: Great item -BUT- put on your big boy/girl pants to be able to dispense the hose...
Summary: 3 Stars
Suncast Powerwind Hose Reel #PW100
I purchased this unit as a replacement for a NO CRANK CLASSIC water driven hose winder unit that lasted less than a year, was problematic and was a waste of money in my opinion. I read the other reviews on the PW100 and figured the folks who complained about how difficult it is to pay out the hose were probably 90 pound weaklings. Well, that will teach me to judge others... this thing requires Charles Atlas to dispense your hose!!!
All kidding aside, I went to Suncast's website and voiced a complaint. After more than a week, I finally received an email from their customer support folks instructing me to open up belt/pulley compartment and verify that the belt wasn't misaligned or binding on anything. I inspected and verified everything was aligned properly. While I had the cover off the compartment, I went ahead and removed the belt and pulleys to see if the hose pulled out easily - which it did. I put the pulleys and belt back on and had my wife pull out on the hose while I observed the unit... the belt still makes slight contact with the motor pulley so this is where the added resistance to pull out on the hose is coming from. MY ASSESMENT - the belt is too small and needs to be slightly larger so it doesn't bind up on the motor pulley during pay-out.
I replied back to Suncast today to let them know my findings and to see if they would send me a replacement belt to see if my assessment of the situation is correct. I absolutely love this hose winder -IF- they can get the belt issue resolved. I'll post back with my findings once I've heard back from Suncast and/or received a replacement belt to test out my theory. Hope this is helpful to others...
***UPDATE 9/03/2008***
Suncast customer service has sent me a replacement belt to see if that corrects the difficulty with paying out the hose. I'll post back after I receive and install the replacement belt.
