I ordered two of the carts with extended capacity and four wheels. I couldn't be happier with the purchase! I'm an engineer (though not a mechanical engineer) and it's obvious that every detail of this hose cart was carefully thought out and engineered with an eye to ruggedness and durability, not cost. It's definitely expensive, but in my view totally worth it - for the same reason you might buy a Lexus over a Dodge Dart.
Several reviews mention that it's difficult or tricky to assemble. I'm not at all sure what those reviews are talking about. I found the directions to be clear and complete, and all the parts were easy to identify and fit together. The only real challenge I ran into was threading the large (about 1.5") nut onto the tubing that forms the axle for the hose reel. Getting that lined up correctly so that I didn't cross-thread it took a couple of minutes. Everything else went together easily!
After I assembled both host carts, I headed over to a hose bib and hooked them up to a 60 PSI supply. The two swivels on each cart didn't leak a drop. Running the hose out to full length and winding it back up was a cinch. Smooth, easy motion. The brake on the hose wheel works great, and is a very nice touch. The only added feature I could think of that I'd like to add would be a brake on the wheels - I have a lot of sloped areas, and such a brake would be handy on the four-wheeled variant. The only change I could think of is the tires - I've had very bad luck with the foam-in-plastic tires like those that come with this. On the other hand, replacing them with pneumatic tires is easy if I need to.
Those are all very small, nit-picking "dings". Overall I rate these as GREAT!
