Yard Butler SR-360 Free-Standing Hose Reel Review

I had high hopes for this hose reel, but I had three problems which has caused me to return the item after one day.

1. Wrong Hardware: Attached to the reel was a hardware packet and instructions for the Yard Butler HTC-1 Garden Hose Truck. While it was not a huge problem since the reel handle fit the SR-360 and all I was missing was a second set screw, I really wonder about Yard Butler's quality control.

2. Hose Gets Stuck: This was my biggest problem. I was using a heavy duty 5/8 inch 100ft hose and when I rolled it onto the reel the hose got hung up between the support arm and the hose already rolled onto the reel. If you roll the hose up completely evenly, it's fine, but because the reel swivels so freely it is very hard to achieve a "perfect" roll. If you use a light duty hose or less than 100ft this will not be an issue, but I don't understand why they designed the support arm so close to the underside of the reel.

3. Needs Cement: The product description does not mention the fact that the item needs to be cemented into the ground. Had the reel work well I would not have a problem with a permanent installation, but I think it should be mentioned in the description and people should be aware that they will need to cement the support post into the ground. Initially, I was hoping it could be installed by driving the support into the ground without cement, but because of design and shut-off valve that is impossible.

So now that it's being returned, I think I am going to spend the extra money and buy a Rapid Reel Free Standing Garden Hose Reel Model #1042-GH. I have a Rapid Reel wall mounted reel and it's great.
