Bought one of these early in the summer last year. Loved it, so we bought another for the back of the house. After a week the new one would not rewind, so we sent it back and they did replace it. We have mounted the new one and we will see how it holds up. In the meantime the first one that we purchased now won't rewind and of course that one is now out of warranty. I will not buy this item again. I would suggest that you don't either. They are more hassle than they are worth!!!

I have purchased 4 of these and 3 of them had the retract mechanism either stop working altogether or won't fully retract. What good is a retractable hose that won't retract.

Rewind will jam with about 10' of hose to recover EVERYTIME. The auto guide does not keep the hose level and allows over lap to occur. Grease all over the last 10-15' of hose which has to be cleaned off before use.

This product did not get close to meeting my lowest expections!!

Bot April 2011. Broke June 2012. We used the reel minimally (maybe 2-3 times a month). There are no replacement parts or repair kit. Called and was initially told to send back (via FEDEX). Flo-Master contacted FEDEX to pick up the hose reel. To shorten the story, Flo-Master (Diana) then told me the reel was no longer under warranty (I told them the April purchase date when I first called) and there was nothing they could do. You would think a $100+ hose reel would last more than 13 months and/or there would be replacement/repair parts. Even my $25 Suncast hose reel has repair parts. DO NOT buy this if you want a hose reel to last more than 1 year.

Easy to use, sick of dragging hoses and moving to mow lawn. Love the swivel feature. easy to take down for winter. Bought one to try and loved it. Went back and bought another one. Wife really likes the retract and the spray nozzel. Real easy on the hand, as we are older. Makes watering our flowers and plants a joy instead of a big pain.

3 months after buying this hose it started to leak like a sieve. The hose sprouted leaks from the main housing and along the hook up to the water source.

We use it to water our flower garden. It easily rewinds after use so I don't have to worry about running it over with the lawn mower. I mounted on a post (see photo) and I like the way it swings from side to side. [...]came with easy to understand instructions.

I love this product. Took back another brand which which upon retraction, managed to catch itself in the gear mechanism and made it impossible to untangle without dismantling the entire unit! I have disc problems, which made the crank style very difficult to use. This was exactly the unit I needed considering my health issue. The 65 ft built in hose (some you have to buy separately from the dispenser unit) makes the product a real bargain and works so well with my property. We did not attach it to anything. We drove a stake through the opening in the back and anchored it to the ground and this suits my needs exactly. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT and can't say enough about it!

I have two other automatic hose reels that are no longer available and was happy to find the RL Flo-Master for another location near our garden. It is well made and does exactly what is claimed to do. The hose is well made and does not kink. Operation of the RL Flo-Master is simple and convenient.
