Does this thing reel in other things or just hoses?
When rolling up the hose will water remain in the hose?
Does the “Four Foot Drain Hose” mean that the water drains in one spot when rolling up?
A relative got one of these, asked me to help when she had trouble with it. I’m not sure if it’s the exact same model but it looks close. It’s a cool novelty thing and fun to play with… but rock solid quality it ain’t.
The problem is the whole thing is basically plastic, including those hose connections you see, with plastic threads, so they don’t hold up too well against the metal hose ends you’ll be screwing on there. Screw on and off a couple times and it isn’t long before the plastic gets shredded up and you’re breaking out the pliers cause something got real stuck.
Just FYI.
since when did woot become home and garden? Ive seen a few of these kinda things now on woot -.-
I need a portable DVD player… c’mon woot gods!
These things actually work really well. Uses water to reel it in so be expecting water to make a puddle below the hose reel.
IMHO, worth the woot
This machine can be tricky. You have to make sure the hose is not sitting in an awkward spot, or wrapped around something when done using it. The machine can get the hose tangled while winding it up.
high pressure, no batteries needed, easily mountable, cheep auto-crank action for my hose.
…sounds like an add for a something that charges by the hour
Did Woot sell out to someone? I mean what the heck, are you guys going to put up dishes next? Where is all the cool electronic stuff?
OOps, today is daylight saving time : 22 hrs, 59 Min 
Still a great savings.

We have one and it works fine… pulls the hose straight up the driveway into the garage…
To reel in the hose you flip a lever that redirects the water flow - rather than going out the 100 foot hose it goes through a water-piston engine that rewinds the hose - the four foot hose takes the water away as it rotates the reel…
… and we direct the four foot hose into the nearby flower bed, so there is no waste…
Maybe you could use this hose crank with the “Bigger Penis” that WOOT is now advertising.
Shouldnt that ad be over on Sellout Woot!?
thanks for the reminder
So, I get to waste water, plastic, and money on something I can do with my arm bent at the elbow and a little effort. No thanks woot.

I would pay $100 if you could wind 100’ of water hose with the “bent arm” technique
You do it in sections. Pay up.
I don’t think someone named bigwhitebear is the target demographic. I’m buying it for my mother as she doesn’t ever put the hose away.
But think for a minute…what ISN’T made out of plastic these days? Shit they are putting plastic pipe in homes nowdays…a plumbers worst nightmare…

I had this (bought from Home Debit) its horrible. It used water to wind up the hose and you will get your lawn soaking wet in one spot waiting for it to reel back in
