Tools and Hardware Reviews of REEL SMART OUTDOOR SINK W/RE
Customer Review: Outdoor sink is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This sink is pretty ingenius. The hose feature seems to work great which I had doubts about and I have no complaints about the sink itself. It was very easy to put together and really easy to use. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Outstanding product!

My husband saw the Reelsmart Outdoor Sink in Handyman magazine and wanted to try it. He loves it! It's light enough to maneuver but sturdy enough not to blow over in high winds. Easy to hook up and easy to use, too. The autowind hose reel is great!Customer Review: QUESTION

Does this sink have a handle to turn the water off at the faucet? I can see it being used mostly by my children to wash their hands and refill their water pistols. I wouldn't want them to have to reach around to the side all the time to turn the water faucet on and off.Customer Review: Reel Smart Outdoor Sink

Works very well overall and the pressure of the water reels the hose back onto the holder automaticaly. I love that feature!
A couple of minor problems here. One, you need to add hose clamps to prevent the hoses from blowing off the plastic fittings under pressure. The second issue is that the unit is very lightweight and can easily tilt over or move all over the place. Since the legs have elongated slots, I would always secure the unit at the base or it will drive you crazy. If you're installing on concrete, drill and use concrete anchors. If you're on grass, maybe dig a shallow and narrow footing and do the same by setting threaded rods (5/16" should do it) through each leg using a washer and nut on top before the concrete hardens. You can then tighten down after it hardens to secure the sink.
Last issue is that the water drains out of the bottom of the sink via a hose as quckly as you run the water so install the sink near a drain to prevent soaking or killing the grass with detergents, excessive water, etc.

This is one of the few Amazon purchases I have been completely disappointed with. The product is very cheaply made, lightweight and with parts fabricated from very thin plastic that I don't believe will hold up to any actual outdoor - or even indoor - usage. After putting it together, I realized that it had been oversold in the descriptions and reviews (written by company employees?) on the Amazon site. So this is one that went back right away. If priced around $40, with free shipping, it may be worth taking a chance on if you reeeely need something as irrelevant as this to replace the good ol' hose and bucket. But at $80-plus as a Gold Box 'deal,' it was still way overpriced. At over $100, it's outrageously overpriced.
