About 20 yrs ago my husband bought me an outdoor sink which had a hose reel with automatic rewind and I just like how it makes my gardening a breeze !! However, I had been looking for the same mechanism hose reel- but without a sink- I was so so happy when I found this one... it was so easy to install and I can’t hardly wait to water the plants on the opposite side of the house without having to pull and manually put hose away..
