I LOVE this!! I have a very bad back so, I had to have something that would help me wind my hose everyday!  Plus, my dog, the chewing menace, can't get to my hose now!  For the money, this is awesome!  I haven't had a bit of trouble with it tipping over or anything.  I have one of the collapsing hoses, not the heavy rubber type so, I'm sure that's why I haven't had any trouble with it tipping.
