Reel King RK-7500 Self Retracting Hose Reel with 75 feet of 5/8-inch Garden Hose

Your days of looping and winding hoses are over forever. Simply pull out the hose to the desired length and the hose latches automatically. When you've finished, simply tug on the hose to release the latch and walk the hose back into the housing. Your hose is neatly stowed away until you need it next. Reel King's self retracting hose reel has been designed to be a garden feature, not an eyesore. It features a sleek design and includes high quality factory fitted hose and the unique patented multi select inertial latching system. Manufactured from the highest quality materials and UV stabilized to prevent damage from nature's elements. Other features include a quality hose gun, a rigidly designed and easily installed wall bracket with 180-degree pivot action, a lockable bracket pin to secure the reel, bracket fixing screws and bolts, a 6-foot leader hose and a manufacturer's 2-year warranty on all Reel King parts.
Customer Review: hose end failure
A great looking hose reel,( recieved 2 of the 7500 model today read the instructions and installed same only to see water spraying out at the brass coupling on one...the other hose reel male end just came right off the hose.....I have not seen such a cheap hose brass end in a very long time..I will go to the local home depot to get a first class brass male end and this should cure the problem,its less pain then sending back the 2 reels.......very disapointed in the hose quality...Richard E Cervi CEO/ Emergency Response Systems
Customer Review: don't waste time or money
Well, at first look this think is awesome. The retractor worked perfect. But then we hooked up the water and it started spewing water like the titanic. At first look it appears the very inexpensive couplings were the problem. The threads are not aligned properly. Then it just blows off and starts shooting water everywhere. And of course the company has no customer service phone number only an email to the sales dept.

Orbit Lawn & Garden Mechanical Hose Faucet Timer #62018

Mechanical Hose Faucet Timer, Large Dial With On/off Or Timed Watering Form 15 - 120 Minutes, Mechanical Operation Requires No Batteries, Swivel Connection Easily Attaches To A Standard Hose Faucet.
Customer Review: Easily broken
I've got 2 of those timers. One works well, doing what it's supposed to do (note that it doesn't turn on automatically, you have to do it yourself). Another one is already broken after using it not more then 10 times.
Customer Review: Hose faucet timer
This is great and we love these timers. However you have to be aware of a manufacturing defeciency in the turn knob. These knobs break easily off the stem over a little time, so I remove them and fill in the empty space around the stem slot(on the underside of the knob) with epoxy putty. Orbit should really do a better job on these weak knobs.

I bought this one and a similar contractor hose from Lowe's. This one is okay but the one from Lowe's is sturdier and costs less.

Apex 8500-100 Light Duty Garden Hose, 5/8-Inch by 100-Feet

Light-duty hose for a variety of garden needs. 3-ply reinforced nylon construction with solid brass coupling. U.S.A. Application: Garden, Diameter (in.): 5/8, Hose Length (ft.): 100, Color: Green, Material: 3-ply reinforced nylon
Customer Review: not a great hose
I hooked this hose to plastic threads on a hose reel. No leaks. However, the hose kinked worse than any hose I've ever used while I was putting it on the hose reel.
Customer Review: works fine
The important thing is that the female end has a metal connector. If the female threads are plastic, the hose never makes a good connection.

EZ Slide Garden Hose Connector, 3 Pack #EZ-3

Just think . . . no more twisting of rusty hose clamps. The EasySlide does exactly what it says it does.. it connects to a hose in seconds. Because we know you will just love it, we package them in quantities of two for one very low price. You can even use it to connect hose to hose to lengthen your watering span. The EasySlide garden hose connector is manufactured in the United States of America and is sure to make you a believer that something so simple can be so great. Made of plastic it will outlast just about any garden tool you own! Will make a great, inexpensive gift for any family member.
Customer Review: The new way for quick connects
This product takes some getting used to if you've been a consumer for years of the ubiquitous "quick connects". However, once you get the hang of how these EZ slides connect, they seem to be just as effective, if not more so, than the others. Since they are so new, it is unclear as to how well the gaskets will wear. It appears they are not replaceable like the "quick connect" ones, so if they don't wear well, the cost to buy the whole thing again may be a factor. For now, though, I'm a satisfied customer and will likely buy more for my gardening hoses.

Suncast Deluxe Garden Hose Hangout with 150' Hose Capacity And Enclosed Storage Compartment, Taupe #DHH150

This Suncast Hose Hangout is a convenient, space-saving storage compartment for holding nozzles, garden gloves, and hose accessories. It is designed to hold up to 150 feet of garden hose wrapped around its sturdy plastic frame. The Hangout mounts via six points in the back and comes with explicit mounting instructions. While it does come fully assembled, actually mounting it to the side of your home will require the use of a drill, and mounting screws are not included. Its textured beige finish blends well with most exterior paint colors.
Customer Review: works like a champ
Easy on the wallet, Easy to install, and works just fine. Never thought I would use the little door, but I love it, I am always taking the hose nozzle on and off, and the storage comp. is the perfect place to put it for the next time.
Customer Review: Suncast Deluxe Hose Rack
I bought 2 of these and mounted them about 4 foot apart on 4x4's with a cross brace. They look great and hold 400 feet of 1/2 inch garden hose.

Orbit Lawn & Garden 7-Pattern Plastic Pistol Hose Spray Nozzle #58228D

TURRET PISTOL NOZZLE - 7- pattern nozzle ~ Soft dial turret guard ~ Insulated hand grip ~ Non-corrosive exterior ~ Self-cleaning turret
Customer Review: EVERY SETTING WORKS--HOW WONDERFUL!
I concur with another reviewer: This is the BEST ever. The mist, to use but one example, is actually a mist--perfect for my tiny rootings and seeds. Even though it's plastic, it feels substantial in the hand. At this price, too, how can I go wrong even if it only lasts a few seasons?
Customer Review: Best Hose Sprayer I have ever used
I got this in conjunction with a new platinum hose that is silver on amazon. Make sure you check that out also because it's amazing. I hooked this up with my new hose, and I found not one little speck of water running from it when it was attached. I was so shocked because I have never used a hose sprayer where it didn't leak at least a little. After my jaw dropped 10 inches I used this to water the ant seeds I just surrounded the house with. I used the shower setting and it is awesome for watering plants and the ground. I've tried all the other settings and they were very cool, too. Definately get this for the price it is listed at!

Suncast Resin Garden Hose Guide Spike, Green/Black #HS102

Hose Guide Spike Display, Guides Hose Away From Flower Beds, Landscaping, Shrubbery, Dark Green, Strong, Rust Resistant Plastic, Cut Case That Holds 25 Spikes.
Customer Review: It's ok, but not perfect.
Well this is an ok device, but the spike isn't long enough to be really useful. It needs to be about 6" or 8" longer to really hold its footing in most applications. I had to go to the hardware store and buy a 24" long snug-fitting piece of pipe that I drove into the ground and then put this inside it to keep it from pulling out of the ground. Once I did that, it worked well, but it would have been great if it were designed better from the beginning.
