Thanks for putting in the time and effort to make this video! The process is pretty simple but you saved me and I’m sure plenty others tons of time by doing these types of videos! I love TH-cam videos like this!
The fact that I need directions for how to use a hose reel has made me feel less confident in my handman abilities. At any rate, thanks for the video!! Now I'm on to a video on how to use my new pressure washer 🙂
Oh my goodness, you made putting a hose on a hose reel easy to understand for this non-techy (techy isnot the right word), but it's the only thing that comes to mind easy. Thank you so much. I subscribed to your channel and are looking for more good videos on home repairs. I know this isn't a repair, but you get the picture! Thank you so much!!!
That’s so kind of you! I’m glad the video helped. Appreciate you subscribing. Yup, I’m continuing to make videos based on what needs fixing around my house. Never know what might be next! 😆
Great, thanks. In fact, I just went to Lowe's and bought one. Going to set it up tomorrow, because it looks like rain here. I like the looks of the it. The one I bought, which is also a Suncast Hosemobile, has a guide that you put the hose through so it goes from side-to-side while you are winding it up. No need to keep it even by hand. Seems pretty solid, for that price. Thanks for your help. P.S. I do have a kink-free hose.
One useful tip that I would like to add here is that before you store it before the winter starts, and if the temperature in your area drops into freezing, make sure to drain all the water otherwise it will freeze and damage the hose. Thank you.
You forgot to mention to bring the unit in sude during the winter to prevent freezing. Tthey will have to watch the advance video on how to repair the cracked swivel tube.
Thanks for the useful tips. I wish you had demonstrated unreeling the hose and reeling it back in. I'm wondering if the thing does move or tip forward when you unreel the hose. Also wondering if you have to get all of the water out of the hose before reeling in. Wouldn't it be too stiff if you didn't?
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. It doesn’t tip over or move when you unreel. As far as getting all the water out, I always turn off the water first, then squeeze the trigger on your hose nozzle/sprayer to empty the hose.
Thank you! After inheriting this, I couldn't figure out how to make this work. However, I have to say it seems like a major design flaw on the part of Suncast to make a mobile reel that isn't really mobile without the addition of another hose! Can you just skip the 4' piece?
@@daddoesvideos Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate you responding. I have some mobility issues, so I was really looking forward to rolling the cart around the yard instead of dragging the hose. It just bugs me that attaching a long leader hose basically means I'm still left with a long hose to deal with, at least if I want to use it as I envisioned. Thanks again!
How is this holding up for you? Not sure which you have because you did not show the side with the key connecting parts. I find the clip and the mechanism tube to be very shoddy materials. I wish they had made these parts in metal.
@@daddoesvideos I just need to tighten the hose where it connects to the hose reel as the water is leaking a little… then I’ll be good to go. Thanks again.
Thanks for the information. I hope you don't mind another questions (I am seriously thinking of buying one of these. Lowe's has this on sale until July 12 for $39.99. $10 off.) If I want to water something that's only 30 feet away from the unit, do I have to unreel the entire hose? Or will the water flow through hose when it is wound up on the reel? Thanks for your time and patience.
Don’t mind questions at all! That’s what makes this fun! You don’t have to unreal the entire hose. The water will flow through the hose when it’s wound up on the real. I’d suggest getting a hood hose though-one that doesn’t kink. If the hose kinks on the reel, it would block the water from coming through. Hope that helps!
Hah. Actually, yes. Good question. There’s a little pedal that’s on the front right (if looking at the reel). Put your foot on that when rolling in the hose. That should help!
My Suncast hose mobile has a compression connector on it that goes to the faucet. NOT THREADS like in the video. Impossible to find that hose.Suncast website doesn't even show one.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. But I don't understand why everyone's praising you. This is basic common sense. I just clicked on the video to see if anyone had the problem I had which was the spigot hose leaking right out of the box, brand new...
I did this but water started to come out of the part where you connect the water hose to it. Is it not tight enough or do I have to buy something for it? I have the continental water hose
OMG THANK U i just got one with new hose an thought ok this is easy ya no im like ok one part is too big but after watching video im like ohhhhh hahahah got it so thank you
SMH!!!!...NEVERRRRRR occurred to me I could install a LONGER leader hose (spigot->hose reel). Missed out on the convenience of rolling the reel around the yard and opted for constantly monitoring the hose to make sure hose didn't crush flowers as I moved around the yard. Won't tell you how long I've had my hose reel. ROFL and SMH! SMH! SMH! THANK YOU!!!!
Finally, I found someone who does not gate keep all of these handy tips and instructions. Love your page. Thank you.
Thanks! Appreciate that.
I never thought I’d have to look up how to use a hose reel, but here I was! Thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful!
Lol. I hear ya. It’s weird that it doesn’t come with directions!
You are not alone ....
@soultosoleliving9956 for real
Same
@@StephanieJac3329 Hah, yup. So weird how they don’t include instructions!
Thank You for taking the time to do this video. Making it so much easier than following the written instructions!!
Surely! Thank you for watching. Yeh, seems like they’d do a better job with the instructions. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the clear and concise instructions to hook up the hose to the Reel. Very much appreciate you taking the time to upload this for us.
Surely. Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching.

Don’t feel too bad about it. It didn’t come with instructions, which I find ridiculous. Hope the pressure washing goes well!

I added a 25 ft. hose to connect reel , now I can go all around the yard,,GREAT INFO THANKS...........
Oh nice! Yeh, that definitely will give you some mobility. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate you watching.

Oh nice! The guide sounds like a great addition. Good luck!
One small tip. After using the hose, release water pressure before reeling it back in. Especially if you have a heavier hose.
Yup, good call. Always a good idea to release the water pressure when you are finished using the hose anyway!
Why what going to happen?
It makes it harder to reel in
@@taylorlynn4467Yeh, it’s harder to reel in and you don’t water sitting there when the frost freeze comes.
Super quick and easy. Thanks for not talking to much
Lol. No problem. Agree some of the diy videos go on for too long. Thanks for watching!
So helpful for single moms! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback!
This video is so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make. Kudos to your videographer as well. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No problem. Thanks for taking the time to watch! Appreciate the feedback!
Thank god for youtube and yourself makes things so much easier ifnyour a visual learner
Lol. No doubt! Glad you stopped by!
This was very helpful. Thank God for TH-cam.
Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks. There are no instructions on the unit. Thanks to you, I fully understand how to use it and will buy it.
Yeh. It’s so weird they sell that thing with no instructions. Glad you found the video useful!
He was so easy to follow. PERFECT!! I hate to ask for help! Now I don’t have to.!! THANK YOU!!

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.
Awesome video. Simple, helpful tips and straight to the point!
Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate you watching.
🍻 much needed video, helped me install this . Now moms is happy on her bday. 🎉
Hah! That’s great to hear! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you because I was so confused about how the black hose came into play??? you did an awesome job thanks again.

Simple but so helpful . Really appreciate it 🎉🎉

@@daddoesvideos Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate you responding.

It just bugs me that attaching a long leader hose basically means I'm still left with a long hose to deal with, at least if I want to use it as I envisioned. Thanks again!
Yeh, I believe you can get a longer leader hose, but you’ll still be limited on how far you can roll the unit.
How is this holding up for you? Not sure which you have because you did not show the side with the key connecting parts. I find the clip and the mechanism tube to be very shoddy materials. I wish they had made these parts in metal.
I’ve had no issues thus far. I wish a lot of manufacturers would use metal in many things like this. Agree with you there.
Thank you so much. I went to the suncast website and the instructions were not detailed enough for me.
Agreed. The instructions aren’t good. Glad the video helped!
GREAT video… short and to the point. Going to hook mine up today.
Thanks for the feedback! Hope your hook-up went well!
@@daddoesvideos I just need to tighten the hose where it connects to the hose reel as the water is leaking a little… then I’ll be good to go. Thanks again.
Thanks for this overview! Have you had any problems with leaking?
Interesting. I have not. Where’s it leaking from?
Oh, I don't own one yet@@daddoesvideos. I've read reviews of similar carts that seem to have leaking problems
Ah, I see.
Thank Yo 😊 This was perfect…very frustrating trying to figure this out this afternoon. I never had one of these type before.
You are welcome! Glad the video helped. I don’t understand why the company doesn’t provide instructions to go with the reel. So weird!
@@daddoesvideos I agree with you, I have common sense, but instructions would have come in handy. Your video saved me Lol
@@scottreszek384 lol. No doubt!
Thank you so much for the demo...❤

@@daddoesvideosWhat is a hood hose? Thanks.
@mrtv777 When I think of a hood hose, I think of the ventilation/aluminum tube that runs from the hood over a range to outside the house.
Thanks bro this was good, now I don’t have to think while I’m setting mine up
Thanks man. Appreciate that!
Thanks for the video. I just bought and could not figure how to do it.
Glad it helped! It is weird it doesn’t come with directions.
Thank you! Anyway to stabilize it? So it’s not shaking all over the place while rolling it in?
Hah. Actually, yes. Good question. There’s a little pedal that’s on the front right (if looking at the reel). Put your foot on that when rolling in the hose. That should help!
Hey Guy Sure appreciate your video, feel a little stupid for not figuring all that out by myself, but i shouldn't have to right? Thanks
You shouldn’t feel stupid. I have no idea why they don’t include some simple directions with the product! So weird. Glad the video helped!
Thank you sir. Such easy video to watch and learn. Thank u
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching!
Solid video, the instructions weren't the best. I'm glad I found this video.
Hey thanks. Agree. Basically came with no directions. So weird. Thanks for stopping by!
This has really helped me. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped! It’s so weird it doesn’t come with directions.
Just found your page and you’ve got a new subscriber in me! Great videos!
Well, thank you! I appreciate that!

Thank you so much for this video because I wouldn’t have known what the heck to do with this or how to install it lol
No problem! It’s super weird that it doesn’t come with directions!
My Suncast hose mobile has a compression connector on it that goes to the faucet. NOT THREADS like in the video. Impossible to find that hose.Suncast website doesn't even show one.
Oh wow. Yeh, haven’t seen that. Might as well call the Suncast customer service line.
Very helpful video, thank you!!
You are welcome! Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks for the video , did it brake yet ? Cause I heard it's not heavy duty
Nope. Functions perfectly fine!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. But I don't understand why everyone's praising you. This is basic common sense. I just clicked on the video to see if anyone had the problem I had which was the spigot hose leaking right out of the box, brand new...
I don’t think anyone’s mentioned that issue. Is it leaking at the faucet or when the water enters the hose reel?
Good stuff. Thank you!
Absolutely. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you. This was very helpful.
Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed!
I did this but water started to come out of the part where you connect the water hose to it. Is it not tight enough or do I have to buy something for it? I have the continental water hose
I would guess it needs to be a bit tighter. Give that a shot and see what happens.
I am trying to unhook the old hose from a reel cart. It’s not coming off though. It looks like rust. What should I do?
Have you tried using a wrench or pliers to twist it off?
@ I tried with a small wrench but it didn’t work. Should I put WD-10?
Yes, I’d try some WD-40. Let it soak in there a little while. Might need a larger wrench, too.
Thank you so much. I was totally confused.
No problem. Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. Thanks
Appreciate that. Thank you for watching!
Thank ya, thank ya, that really helped me out.

Thank you. Appreciate that feedback!
Good video. I just got one for free last week
Thanks! Bonus that you got one for free!
Thank you so much I had the whole thing backwards. Ugh!
Sure thing! Glad it helped!
What the heck! I wanted to see if it was sturdy enough to stay in place when you pull hose out, I guess not. Smh
It is.
Thank you!!
You are welcome!
Thanks so much
You are welcome! Glad it helped!
Thanks, demystified
You are welcome. It’s so weird they don’t include instructions with the product.
They never show the 'reeling' of the hose. That's the part most of us want to see! 🤣
Ah. Ok. Clockwise to reel the hose in. Thanks for the feedback.
These reels aren't good. When you pull the hose out the reel drags along with it. My hose also got stuck
Interesting. I’ve not had that issue.
Thank you
You are very welcome!
SMH!!!!...NEVERRRRRR occurred to me I could install a LONGER leader hose (spigot->hose reel). Missed out on the convenience of rolling the reel around the yard and opted for constantly monitoring the hose to make sure hose didn't crush flowers as I moved around the yard. Won't tell you how long I've had my hose reel. ROFL and SMH! SMH! SMH! THANK YOU!!!!

Very good 😅
Well, thank you. Appreciate it.
Thanks!
Oh wow! That’s so nice of you! Appreciate it.
I put my reel together and found this video. I now realized i just did it all wrong.😬
Hah. Better relate than never?
My hose ain’t ready for this
Lol
Nice tutorial video, but the Hose Reel sucks. It makes the water pressure much weaker.
Hey thanks! I’ve experienced no degradation in water pressure with the real. Are you sure your hose isn’t kinked?
Figure how to put it together
Hi. I’m sorry. Do you have a question?
Thanks for clear minimal talking instructions. A large number of instructional TH-cam videos the guys doo too much unnecessary commentary 😊
Hah. Agree. I try to limit as much as I can! Thanks for the feedback!
