I'm planning to get an Eley 5/8" hose. Will 100 ft fit on this reel? I've seen reviews that recommend only going with a 75 ft length.

I have a heavy duty 100 foot hose on mine and it does fit. You do need to assist it to get it to lay evenly, but it does work. The hose reel is top notch!

I use 2 50' hoses (connected together) on mine and don't have any issues. Perhaps your 100' hose has/had a kink, causing low pressure/overheat?

Apologies for the late response. Yes, you can use another brand of hose. However, it should be short or lightweight because the reel is meant to hold a lightweight hose like the Gardena that ours came with. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I hope this is not joke. You could wind up 100 feet of hose, then carefully remove half of the reel assembly, at which point the wound up hose coils will want to fall off from the hub. Provided, that you can slide off the hose coils, place it on the ground. Now you have to reattach half the reel and continue with the other 100 feet. After the reel is full, you'll need to take half the reel off again to remove the hose coils. Why would you want to do this?

In my opinion 100ft of high quality 3/4" hose is max. It would likely pull 1/2" or 5/8" farther. And as far as I know there is one model.

I have 100' on mine, as well, and it could hold more. This has been an awesome purchase. Every time I use it I think about all of the other hose reels we had but didn't use. This is a great hose reel!!! It makes winding the hose nearly effortless!

Hi Willy, this reel has a 50 meter line capacity if you are using standard 1.5mm line. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with.

I have 80 feet with very little backing ( I can't remember how much backing maybe 40 feet if that) and it barley fits on reel. I have to leave about 3 feet unspooled when storing it because it won't all fit. That said when using it there is no problem and I like the reel especially for the price. For a 3wt in small streams I don't expect to run out of line. Hope this helps.

I think either 100 or 150 feet. I am extremely pleased with this Hose Reel. It was a replacement for an older one I had. I highly recommend Ames brand.

Yes....it doesn't matter if it is a bit short. As long as the majority of water is covered, you're fine. This is a great cover...does wonders. Just make sure you order a reel that is strong enough to pull it in. (the one with the 5" tube)

Hello Jeffrey. The reel winds the the hose okay but I have to guide it myself. I have 100 ft. of their hose on my reel and that may be a little too much hose. I am am going to add their expander option. I think that will help. I hope that helps.

We have 150 ft of hose on our reel. The previous model hung on our home for over 10 years, and deteriorated mainly due to sun exposure. There is plenty of room for more hose to be added. I do not know if the materials have been updated.

I have a 100ft hose in it with room to spare. It's a great hose reel at a steal of a price. I bought a second one.

I have 100 ft of hose. This is the third one I have bought, great reel, no problem with rusting issue or leaking.

The reel is removeable. I am sure the 100 ft will fit in the pot, but be sure not to turn it on without rolling it out. The wind up is very easy. I staked mine down so it would not move when I rolled the hose. I do not think it will blow away, remember you probablly are going to have one end fastened to the faucet.

Hi, I have a 75', I would enter 100' Gilmore in your search and try again. I might suggest 2- 50', these hoses are heavy and then you could choose 100' or 50' depending on where you want water. It would probably cost a little more due to the extra hose fittings, but it could be more managable. I would hunt around on Amazon a little more, I'm sure there is 100', could be they are sold out right now.

This product only helps that problem by being lightweight which makes coiling definitely easier. Brand new this hose will be sticky, you have to let it sit out to lose its stickiness. I have both a 100' and a 50' that I connected together. I've considered buying a hose reel for it, as All my other hoses I've felt the need for a hose reel but not really on these yet.
