I was glad that Wayfair offered the Ames hose reel cabinet. A few years ago I purchased the same model in a local store . I was so pleased with the hose reel cabinet, that I wanted another one. The Ames hose reel cabinet has a “never leak“ hose connection. I find this to be true. The hose connection point tended to be the weak point on the previous hose reels that I have owned. The Ames hose reel cabinet is solid with an auto -track system that evenly distributes a hundred feet of hose on to the reel while it is being cranked. The only slight negative thing I would say is that the legs on the hose reel can bend a little. This can occur if the hose reel cabinet is dragged, while moving to another location. Overall, I have been very satisfied with the Ames hose reel cabinet.
