" ... Works great but it needs a foot tab to help hold the thing while you use the hose reel. ... "
" ... Not bad, but the "Flash" on the plastic edge gave me a huge cut moments into the assembly. ... "
" ... The connector that attaches the hose to the machine seems to be made out of aluminum or a less than completely sturdy material. ... "
