Do you reconnect it every time? Or is one end connected to a hose hub and you just unroll it? Isn't it same as just pulling the hose out. Sorry I'm having a brain fart asking stupid questions. Isn't it easier to just unroll the hose?
OK that makes sense. Do you use those quick connect couplers, they are life savers. I got them for my pressure washer. Whoever invented them is a saint.
I have quick connects for the hose to the pressure washer and such.
That's not something I choose to leave in the front of the house in case it someone else decides they want one for themselves, for free, so it gets carted back to a safer storage area.
I bought the 225' model of the Gorilla last time Walmart had a sale. It's a good, solid cart, certainly much better than the disposable plastic junk that Suncast peddles, but I can already tell where the frame bears the most stress, and might fail at some point in the future, even given the lesser weight of a 100' hose, never mind one that would use the full capacity of the reel.
It's fine for typical light/medium home duty, but something like the Eley will be sturdier, albeit at a much higher price. Buy once, cry once, perhaps.

Suncast ones are really garbage, I wish I never bought them. I am considering getting one of those retractable ones. The ones Costco used to sell thst mounts on wall.
As for quick disconnects, there are none better than Eley. I have never found any that allow the same flow through them as the Eley, they are 3/4 full flow. Years ago Eley stopped offering sales, but that changed about a year ago when the resumed having an occasional sale. Note, I did have an issue with the collar on a male quick disconnect, Eley replaced it.
