how well/easily does the pull out hose retract and does it stay in place after many uses?

We required a swing pout so we replaced it. Ours was used in the kitchen and we had a garbage disposal so no stopper.

Mine has been installed for a couple of months now and is working just fine. Spout pulls very easily and retraction is operated by a counterweight under the sink. As long as it is clear directly under the faucet there should not be any problems.

I've had it for a year and it works great. It retracts and pulls out smoothly. It's a great faucet.

it's a weight, so as long as it doesn't get hung up on something, it works great!

I've had mine for about 6 months and still love it. The retraction works because of a weighted ring on the hose under the sink, so that should stay in working order.

It pulls out and retracts with ease ... even after many repeated uses. This is a quality product, better than that of other major manufacturers.

Of all the ones I gave tried this is the heaviest, and most sturdy, I don't know if it shows when I first posted, but it is still going strong and functional on a daily basis. For the most part no it doesn't pull away. You have to pull the amount of hose you want out then it won't move. I have seen people post about securing it to a wooden deck, mine just sits on a rock slab.

I initially had trouble with the pull-out hose catching on a valve under the sink, but I arranged things under the sink to prevent that. Now I just went and tested it and realized that I have to gently push the hose back into the faucet to get it to retract. The hose has a braided covering that is not perfectly smooth or tight, so it drags a little. It really does not cause a problem for me, but I don't use the pull-out constantly, only once or twice a day. It is not difficult and only took a day or two to get used to. The supplied weight and the position of the weight is definitely a factor to consider. I love the faucet and it works very well for me.

It's not auto-retracting. Mine operates perfectly. It "puts" back into the retracted position easily, perfectly and smoothly.

It uses suction to stay attached which eventually comes loose so you'll have to reattach frequently, and it may come loose as you're using it. If this is something you'll be using long-term, I strongly suggest purchasing an item that's permanently secured.

It does retract, but needs to be guided by hand slowly. Otherwise the screen will tear at the top channel. Initially I was not pleased with the unit, but I have been able to deal with its drawbacks by compromising!!

No it spools out easily without to much moving......when you wind I either put my foot on the base or if you leave the hose fillies with water it makes it heavier.....had mine for three years now and still works great...I don't even put it away in the winter

I have used this 3 times and find that it does a good job. The plastic hose is a little stiff but I have been very pleased with this product.

very well. It is a bit snug ( not like yanking) to pull out but I think it is just that way so it doesn't fall out. But once it is like 1/4 inch out it just slides right out and in. No complaints.

I've had my reel for 3 years and experienced no problems with the connection. This past year I left my hose and reel outside all winter, (drained all the water of course). Of course it all depends on if you're one of those persons who repeatedly unwinds the reel fully and then trys to pull a few more inches off of your hose! It's just not going to do that! The connection is durable but won't take constant abuse. I added a 3 foot section of hose to the original 3 foot and zip-tied the hose at the connection end to the reel frame. I still have the flexibility to move the reel but there is no strain on the connection. I'm on my 4th year and no leaks.

Yes, it comes off like a vacumn cleaner hose. Home Depot and Lowes sell longer hoses.

The brush twists and pulls... It has very thin guides in the plastic that if you twist or pull too hard you can pull the brush right off the hose. You need to put the brush back in original position to get the vacuum back.

Not routinely. It did detach once in the past month or so. I'm happy with it, though. I suspect these things will not last for a long time, but they are pretty cheap.

We are almost a year in and we have had no issues. My kids request us to pull this out a few times a week so it has had very regular use with no issues.

No, it does not pull down easily or retract smoothly. The styling is very elegant but the quality is poor in terms of the hoses which are cloth-like. Higher priced pull down faucets either have plastic coated hoses or metal mesh hoses and they function much better. I returned this faucet.

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

This is a Hose that retracts by pulling back and letting recoil it is a great Product
