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
Solid gardening tool
"We first purchased ELEY products living in Pittsburgh. While relocating to Florida, we unfortunately had to downsize and gift a number of our favorite items, including our garage ELEY hose holder and garden hose wheel cart. After apartment living for two years, we decided to purchase a home and plant roots. One of our first purchase items was another ELEY Garden hose cart, we love it."
Really Nice Hose Management!
"Purchased a two wheel hose cart, 75 foot hose, hose guide, and a couple of brass quick disconnects for the front and rear of the house. Eley’s products are first class! I’m extremely pleased with the purchases, and am amazed at the quality. You get what you pay for! A hose that doesn’t kink, a reel that doesn’t tip over… Life is good."
5-star product and service! Don't
"5-star product and service! Don't hesitate to buy one! We just received our second Eley hose reel, along with 2 of their hoses. We are very impressed with Eley's product quality and customer care. Our 8-year-old Eley reel had recently started leaking, and Eley shipped out the replacement swivel right away. The repair was simple and fast. We are thrilled to have two reels now! Thank you Eley!"
Quality and durability
"I found this cart because I didn't want to buy some overseas cheap junk off Amazon for 2/3rds the price that people said was rusting and wearing poorly in a year's time. This thing made wrapping up 150 feet of hose very easy (use a flexible hose with this, not something rigid). Assembly instructions and bolts were good quality and it also feels very solid and durable- very happy with this product."
Sturdy Hose Reel
"This is a well built hose reel and it should last a long time. I would have given a 5 star review but found the assembly more difficult than I thought it would be. Plus the flexible hose strap was very awkward and not an improvement over the prior reels that had a removable clamp to hold the hose down."
2 wheel version can be tippy
"I have had the 4 wheel version in the backyard for about 5 years and I am happy with it. When my front yard hose reel died I got another Eley hose reel. I have the expander on both reels to accommodate long hose lengths. The 2 wheel version is not very stable when reeling the hose in. I did not get 4 wheels on the front one because that unit never needs to move."
The Crème De La Crme of Hose Reels
"Wow, this is a game changer. I installed screws in the wrong location. As a result, I could not use them and also couldn’t use the one side they were screwed into. One call later and they were both shipped on the same day no charge. Great customer service. And oh boy what a well built product. Smooth as silk and sturdy as a tank. You can tell it’s made to last. Love it."
Amazing product!
"From the packaging, to the assembly instructions, to the component quality, to the overall usefulness of this hose reel (and Eley hose), it was all top notch. I do not think I’ve ever purchased such a quality product. It is expensive, but clearly worth it. So smooth and sturdy!"
Nice Hose Reel Cart
"NIce quality. I was tired of the cheapo plastic hose reels. Splurged on the 2 wheel cart and extra wheels. Also purchased a wall mounted reel. Assembly was quite easy for me. Was a little apprehensive after seeing many reviews stating difficult assembly."
This is the best hose
"This is the best hose reel on the market! Sturdy, functional (cart it wherever you need it), and durable. This is my second one - the first one is still in perfect condition, I just filled it up and needed a second one for a larger hose. Love this product so much I hunted it down on the web. Thank you for making this quality product."
