Frequently Asked Questions - 2 Wheel Cart Reel
These FAQs are specific to this particular model. For general FAQs about all ELEY reels, visit our Garden Hose Reels FAQs.
2 Wheels vs. 4 Wheels? Which is right for me?
Without a doubt, this is the most asked question regarding this model. We recommend reading our quick comparison guide for answers from the experts: 2-Wheel vs. 4-Wheel Hose Reel Cart.
Is assembly required?
Yes, however, don't let that scare you away. Quick and easy assembly was one of our R&D team's primary objectives when designing the durable ELEY hose reels. We provide an excellent assembly manual with the hose reel as well as a full step-by-step video demonstration of the assembly on this website. Please visit our Assembly Instructions - Two-Wheel Cart Hose Reel page if you'd like to preview the manual and video.
Will it easily tip over?
Our portable wheeled hose reels are not easily tipped over. While the addition of the optional Quad-Wheel Kit does add a bit more stability, the primary factor in the reel tipping over is how tight you set the adjustable cam-lever brake. Watch this short video to see how to set, adjust and use our innovative cam-lever brake. These reels weigh 35 pounds or more and have a 2-foot wide by a 2-foot-deep base. The center of gravity of the unit is designed to keep the cart upright.
Is the 2-wheel hose reel cart made with drinking water safe materials?
Yes. ELEY hose reels are manufactured using high-quality materials commonly used in applications involving drinking water contact. The water-contact components include a durable polyurethane inlet hose, with hose fittings and swivel components made from lead-free brass that comply with federal lead-free standards.

I'm a tall person. Are there extensions available for the push-pull handles?
Sorry, at this time we don't offer any extensions for the push-pull handles.
Is an optional tool basket available?
No. No tool basket option is available at this time. If one becomes available, it will be announced to our notification subscriber list. Notification sign-up is in the footer of this website.
What are the dimensions of the flat-free tires?
The diameter of our foam-filled rubber turf tires is 10 inches and the width is 3-1/2 inches.
Does the sharp bend in the brass swivel restrict water flow?
The change in the shape of the garden hose swivel gooseneck does have a theoretical impact on water flow, but it is so minimal that our digital flow meter with a resolution of 0.01 gallons per minute (GPM) and our pressure drop gauges cannot detect it.
Can I connect a long hose to the faucet and use the included 6-foot inlet hose for watering with the 2-wheel cart?
No — the included 6.5-foot inlet hose is designed only to connect the hose reel cart directly to a nearby faucet. It is not intended to be used as the primary watering hose.
For best performance and maneuverability, connect your main garden hose to the reel drum and keep the cart relatively close to the water source.
Using a long hose between the faucet and the cart can make the cart harder to move and may place unnecessary strain on the axle and frame during use.
If you need greater reach from the faucet, we recommend repositioning the cart as needed rather than extending the inlet connection.
I don't see my question on this list.

Reviews
Straightforward assembly process between the
"Straightforward assembly process between the video and manual that is included in the box it's very easy to follow and complete. The cart is very sturdy and well built the operation of the reel is simply amazing, far superior to anything I've ever used. The cart rolls very well, possibly too well as I have it "parked" in my garage next to the hose bib and a wheel chock is essential as it rolls so effortlessly. I added the quad wheel kit for full disclaimer."
Eley is a prime example
"Eley is a prime example of you get what you pay for. The Garden Hose Reel Cart is the best quality cart I've ever purchased. I added the Quad wheel kit and extra capacity kit. I was able to load 200 feet of 3/4 inch HD Rubber garden hose onto it. 200 feet is pretty much the limit for 3/4 inch HD rubber hose. I also purchased most of their their accessories, The only items I didn't purchase was a garden hose or the garden hose guide. As a retired Firefighter I appreciate high flow water capacity and the Eley product line makes that achievable. Their products are precise, robust, and a pleasure to use. Eley products remind me of how things used to be built in America, to outlast me."
Best Reel Cart You Can Find
"With the robust construction of the oversized tubular frame this unit is meant to last. The best part is the use of brass fittings for hose connections at the reel. inferior products use plastic that I have always found to leak. The fastening system with the water hose is genius so the hose doesn't kink and restrict water."
Beautiful high quality hose reel
"Beautiful high quality hose reel cart. Not so thrilled with the complicated assembly process. Instructions were clear but it's kind of absurd to watch a 13 minute video to assemble a $400 hose reel."
Exactly what I needed
"I purchased an Eley hose reel several years ago and it has held up very well. It held up so well and was so easy to use that I could justify the cost for a second one. I was pleased to see that the materials were just as sturdy as the first one. It is easy to assemble, easier to use. I can roll up a hose comically fast! If you are on the fence about this purchase, this old lady highly recommendeds that you do."
Another A-1 transaction! Eley offers
"Another A-1 transaction! Eley offers an excellent product with easy ordering, immediate delivery, and user-friendly assembly. I now have acquired three of your hose reel carts with associated hoses and attachments. They are far superior to the offerings of your competition and worth every penny. I am a landscape architect and appreciate quality ."
Excellent product - my second one !
"Excellent product - was easy to assemble and use right away. I have one that is post mounted and this is my second one for the back yard ! So proud to own one of the Se beauties !"
A Good Tool
"The Eley 2-wheel hose reel cart winds my garden hose without making me bend over, doesn't tip when I roll the hose from the side, doesn't scuff my paver patio, and looks great. It's sturdy. I don't have to hold it in place with my free hand while I wind the hose. The cart doesn't leak or squeak. Assembly was easy. This cart costs 8 times the price of some hose reel carts. Given what I spend for good tools and demand from them, this is a 5-star cart. It shows what a good Chinese manufacturer can do with a decent budget and good specs."
Hose reel works well. I
"Hose reel works well. I would not recommend the 125ft length, as that length of hose is too large and it tends to skip out of the reel as you wind it in. I also wish I had specified a longer connection hose, as the one provided needs to be within 3ft from the water valve."
Best Hose Reel
"Had so many other hose reels over the years that were plastic and leaked or broke. I bought one of these reels several years ago and decided I'd never go back. Our last plastic one broke this year, and we invested in another one. I couldn't be more happy. Easy to roll out and roll back in. Very durable and does not leak."
