Tools and Hardware Reviews of REEL SMART OUTDOOR SINK W/RE
Customer Review: 4.5 stars. Very useful garden and home product
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this about a month ago when it was in the Lightning Deal. I wanted a useful gardening product for my mom, since she enjoys growing vegetables in our small urban backyard plot. Based upon the positive reviews I ordered it, and when it came, I was very disappointed that one of the leg joining tubes had a fracture. This seems to be a somewhat common problem for other customers as well.
Deciding that this product was too heavy to try to haul back to the post office (i have no car) and not cost-effective to try to get Amazon to replace it, I decided to assemble it anyway and see if it'd hold up. I contact Amazon about the damage and they gave me a partial credit for the order.
Now, after 3 weeks of use, I am happy to report that it is functioning great and I'm glad I purchase this. It comes in very handy for washing my hands in the back yard after gardening or cleaning up garbage. I was skeptical at first about the No-Crank feature, but it works like a charm.
I felt that the plastic could have been of higher quality and sturdiness, and that the connecting valves would be more ruggedized, but overall, this is an excellent product. The side flaps are a little flimsy, as are the arms supporting the flaps. I would not try to put too much weight on them.
Lastly, the unit is smaller than the pictures appear. The middle shelf is enough space for 3 adult shoes, to give you an idea of size.
Customer Review: A Product that Delivers
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been searching for something like this as I do a lot of gardening and my 4 kids play in the mud a lot! It is easy to set up, easy to use, and winds the hose nicely. I suggest creating a level surface before setting up the sink to ensure proper drainage from the sink. We used leftover pavers.
I am rather frugal and hesitant to purchase things online, but this item was well worth the money.
Customer Review: A must have for any yard or deck
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the best gift I could have given my husband who likes to Bar-B-Q
on our roof top deck. Cleanup and prep is so much easier when the sink is next to the grill!!! He loves it. Not to mention is makes life easier for me with my mini garden.
Customer Review: A pricey convenience
Summary: 4 Stars
Not having a garage sink, I bought this and set it up outside on our patio. It gives me a place to wash up after yard work. Only complaint is that the sink plug requires exact positioning and firm force to get it to form a watertight seal. The manufacturer has promised to send a replacement plug, probably a 10 cent item, but it hasn't arrived yet. The sink's price doesn't make it a bargain, but it is convenience to have.Customer Review: Absolutely Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best products we have ever bought! The assembly was very easy - the directions clear and simple.
Nothing on the product ever leaked.
When you want to use the hose, the mechanism does not hinder unwinding and the hose pulls out easily; when you are done with the hose, the product rewinds it easily and smoothly for you every time! You can even change the speed of the rewind by turning the water on more or less as you wish! It has both a strainer for the sink opening and a stopper, both of which worked very well.
I used the sink for the vegetables from my garden. I would fill the sink and place the vegetables, including lettuce, in it and let the "little passengers" swim to the top. Then I could bring the vegetables into the house with no uninvited guests. They were already nice and clean as well. I also used it for potting up plants, and washing my hands outdoors without having to take time to walk into the house (and track in grass clippings, etc.) Much better than the hose -- you can wash one each hand with the other. It's also great for a quick cool-off on those hot and humid days -- a spash on the face (and head!) is very refreshing, and easier to direct than the hose. The sink emptied quickly and smoothly every time.
I just cleaned it up for the winter and even after baking in the sun in July and August it cleaned up very easily. The plastic they made it from is really excellent.
I would recommend this wonderful sink/hose winder to everyone. It is a joy to use in every way.
