I see that some say a 100' hose is hard to store inside. Has anyone been able to store a NeverKink 100' hose?

You have to be very creative. We have a 75' in ours but there's still room around the center spindle. Now, another 25'? Hard to say.

Yes, but this product rusts almost immediately. There are much better products for a lot less money. To answer your question a new hose which is wound from the store works pretty well, but a hose which has been streched is useless.No not buy.

No hose storage. They sell a hose hanger kit for this pressure washer for around $20 but it requires drilling holes in the handle for through bolts.

Ours has 200 feet, 5/8 inch, in it, the only thing is, if the hose is a real good heavy gauge hose, it is a little too heavy and it did break our other one that we had for about three years. We did have one prior to that held up for many, many years but the hoses we had in it were quite a bit lighter. We like ours a lot, this is our third one.

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 do not have the packaging from the 50' hose I bought on Amazon. However, I liked this hose so much I bought a 100' Flexzilla here in Virginia, and it is still in its package. I do not see any warning on its package. Keep in mind that it was bought locally, not in California, and I don't know if there might be different packaging for that reason. Hoses I have had in the past have had me screaming obscenities at them; this hose is pure pleasure.

I have 5/8 inch hose and it's a stretch to get all 100 feet on the reel. In my case, it doesn't matter if it sticks out past the reel casing a little bit. I would think a 1/2 inch hose would fit ok.

Best way to store it is in a plastic tote so as to not compress it. Keeping it compressed over extended periods does indeed harm this insulation. Keep it dry and expanded, and stuff it for travel.

Short answer is yes. I have 100 ft of 3/4 hose on it but you have to double up for it to fit. That means each finger can accommodate 2 "wraps" of hose. Works perfect, no kinking unless there is no water pressure in the hose on a hot day.

As a user who lost the hose (it blew off and sank before I could retrieve it) I would advise either holding the hose when pumping or tape it to the pump. As long as you can find the right diameter hose I don't see any reason why the hose can't be as long as you want. The pump has a strong projectile.

I keep mine in my truck and split my time between South Florida and East Texas, no problems with storing it yet. My best advise is the same as J Davidson, store it in a container, if you accidentally tip it over or spill it the product is a mess to clean up (been there done that in a toolbox and it wasn't fun). Good luck!

You're quite right, the hose does get very hot. I've never tried anything to insulate it, figuring if there was such a thing, the manufacturer would have included that. I think styrofoam might be too easy to crack. Back in my day, they wrapped heating pipes in asbestos! I guess the shorter you have the hose, the better. Maybe Home Depot or some place like that can suggest something. My main problem with the thing is water dripping out the bottom pan onto the floor...

I bought this camp chef and then set it in a back yard fire pit that I made from bricks. I ran the hose through a pvc and then to a little shed where I keep the propane tank. it worked out very nice. I went to a shop that recertifies the tanks and makes hoses. they made me a hose the length I needed. that's the way it would go just to be safe. let the pros do it. I would bet there is a similar shop near you somewhere. hope that helped.

It stays connected fine. I don't store mine by pushing hose back in, I just slide it in the box and leave bonnet and hose out. Just store in cabinet. Also, it really gets hot. I don't use it on the hottest temp. I love my dryer.

Very easy to set up. Just open it out and fill with the hose. Storage - not so good. Ours is on the deck when not on use but it's hard to fold it or store in a small space.

I believe I have a 100 ft. 1/2 or 3/8 hose on mine and there is plenty of room.

We have no problems -I got this for my spouse to make it easier with 100' of hose and it works good. However here is a tip lazy people expect it to do all the work and walk away from it, and it gets caught up or kinks the hose etc. Just do not let you trigger nozzle drag in the grass. and it will wind up quickly.

You can hook a 100' hose to the pump, but you cannot pump up hill for the full 100'.
