Can you turn and reel the hose back onto the wheel when the wheel is swung against the wall ?

yes you can but you have to hold on tightly to the reel because the arm connected to the reel does not lock into place, making winding the hose difficult. There is an elbow that swings the reel out and in.

Yes you can and I guide the hose because it may swing to fast into the wheel.

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.

I suppose you could. Use the hose instead of rigid wand. Just keep in mind the wheels are small and only meant for smooth surfaces so dragging it around your yard could be challenging.

I don't believe that you would wish to do this very often. It can be done, however, the wheel position requires that it be picked up rather high on the other end in order to roll it.

I don't understand your question. If the bail pops over when you give it that first turn of the handle, then it should only reel in towards you so long as your line is in the roller. Your second sentence is baffling. Do you mean the drag weight adjuster? Clarify and I'm sure you'll get an answer. I have one of these, which is why Amazon notified me to see if I could help, and have had nothing but success with it.

Detaching hose from wrong side and front rotating brushes making contact with a surface.

I would recommend this hose reel to anyone. It is extremely high quality and I am very happy with it. To answer you question, when I wind up the hose I use my hand to guide the hose to evenly on the spool. This winds very quickly this way. I have had some of the mechnical tracking/winding mechnisms and I don't miss them.

The reel turns freely. Remember, the length of hose you are trying to wind in determines how hard it will be to crank. Since the reel is fairly large in diameter, it cranks in fairly easily in my opinion. Unwinding it is a breeze. We use ours in a factory setting several times daily and it has held up under pretty tough, grimy conditions.

Be sure one of the wheels on the bottom is not locked up. That could cause it to spin in one direction. also check that the hose connections spin freely otherwise it will jam up the cleaner. Hope this helps

Yes. The attachment of the entire unit to the pipe coming out of your wall is a plastic-covered ball joint which swivels as well as holds the sprayer. Any direction, including up and down. I've had it a while now, still a big fan.

It mounts pretty much flush on the wall that the bracket that it is attached to with enough clearance for the wheel to turn to unwind the hose. If installing between 2x4 as long as the space between the 2x4 is enough for the reel to turn you will be good.

THE reel is about a foot wide and with the round hose, I find that I have to guide it as the guide lets it build up and not wind evenly. I don't see why that wouldn't work with a flat hose or take the guide off of the auger that is intended to distribute the hose evenly to allow it to wind in one place. It really does a great job of pulling in the hose weight without any effort on my part except for the guiding that I mentioned.

Yes. It should spin rather freely. You'll need to be able to move it in reverse by hand should it jam with brush - follow safety procedures always.

Yes it can - but the roller wheel is of rubber and it might catch dust particles and get damaged. If you want to do is once twice is fine, but you wont be able to do it regularly.

Yes, provided that you allow for enough hose from the spigot to the reel. Also, the hose connection on the reel is at a 90 degree angle so if you turn it around it will be winding the hose to the rear and not the front.

you have to manually crank the hideaway, but as a retired Lady, to crank the handle in order to roll the hose up, it is so easy. As you crank, the hose rolls evenly across the hideaway and will unroll just as easy. Personally for me, it is perfect.

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.
