What is the farthest the hose will come off the reel safely?

Not sure what you mean by safely, but from the face of the roller guide to the end of the hose is about 49 feet. Its a full 50' foot hose before they crimp the ends on. It seems to have the same pulling power fully retracted to fully extended when reeling back up. But with any self retracting hose reel ALWAYS hold onto the end of the hose when retracting till fully retracted. This is for safety reasons and the spring on the reel will last a lot longer too.

I try not to pull out to the last turn, but I have done that several times and had no problem, so far I have had no problem with the reel, I have it in my garage and it gets light use, I would buy again

I have pulled it all 50 feet with no issues. I like it a lot, great product for the garage.

The entire 50' of hose comes unwound off the reel. It goes through a roller guide, and the reel has ratcheting locks, so it doesn't free-wheel during retraction at all. It's a very safe and sturdy set-up, and the hoses pays out, and retracts under full control.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

48" I believe. I threw this reel away, it was a piece of junk. If you buy, keep all of the packing so when you see it is a POS, you can send it back.

If you use the spigot on the reel you need a leader hose to connect it with your water faucet. I don't use one so I just connect the hose to the faucet. The answer to your question is I don't know exactly, maybe 3 feet?

I hope this is not joke. You could wind up 100 feet of hose, then carefully remove half of the reel assembly, at which point the wound up hose coils will want to fall off from the hub. Provided, that you can slide off the hose coils, place it on the ground. Now you have to reattach half the reel and continue with the other 100 feet. After the reel is full, you'll need to take half the reel off again to remove the hose coils. Why would you want to do this?

It stays put pretty well. So long as the hose comes off the reel smoothly there isn't a problem.

Up/down angle, fine. Sideways angle, you'll need a hose guide. I got one of these Hose Roller Guide, For 1/4 to 3/4 ID Hose - drilled a couple holes through two bricks, bolted it to them and put them in the ground about 6' in front of the hose reel. From there, you can pull the hose in any direction(or wind it up) very easily. It winds and unwinds with very little effort.

I just finished rolling a 25' X 1/2" diameter water hose on my Bayco cord reel and it worked fine. It was certainly strong enough and large enough to handle 25' X 5/8" diameter, but not 50' lengths. Personally, I use ball bungees to organize my hoses and such in my motorhome. Good luck!

I went to the local hardware store and bought gutter nails. They are about 6 inches long and willwork in the existing hole in the base of the hose reel.

Hello Jeffrey. The reel winds the the hose okay but I have to guide it myself. I have 100 ft. of their hose on my reel and that may be a little too much hose. I am am going to add their expander option. I think that will help. I hope that helps.

I haven't actually done it, but I'm sure it would be a simple matter to remove the reel. But in doing so, you would probably be removing the hose connector as well. Also, the bottom is basically open with a molded-in bracket for the reel. Personally, if I didn't need a reel I would just look for a nice hose pot.

The hose screw into the bonnet so it does not fall out. You can move to the extent of the length of the hose.

I would think if you remove the reel, you are also going to remove the connector, plus the bottom of the pot is open to allow for drainage...why not just get one of those nice decorative pot, although I know the hose would not be covered...if that is what you are looking to accomplish.

The hose is suppose to be wound on the reel. The power cord just is looped and hangs on the little arm.

Very easy.....turn off your water supply, disconnect the hose and pull the "pin" that it swivels on. You may need to rock the unit a bit to pull the pin/pipe out. The hose and reel should be stored inside.

We have 100' of heavy duty 5/8" commercial-grade rubber hose on it, and it fits well. Not sure I would want any more, though. BTW, this is the only hose reel I've used with that hose that can easily handle the weight when rolling it up. The quality on it is better than anything I've ever found - and I'm an old guy that has had many, many hose reels.

I have a 100ft hose in it with room to spare. It's a great hose reel at a steal of a price. I bought a second one.
