AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the rolling up of the cart. They say it functions well and wheels around the yard easily, with two bicycle type tires that offer good maneuverability and stability when parked. The big wheels travel well over rougher terrain, and the roller easily turns. Customers also say it's easy to wind the hose on and off, and that the basket included is great.

Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the utility cart wagon. Some mention that the assembly was fairly straight forward, it reels-in quite easily, and will usually pay-out without tipping over. However, some customers like it. The instructions are not as clear as they could be, and some parts had already been assembled, making it difficult to find the parts.

Customers are mixed about the size of the utility cart wagon. Some mention that the handle is high and the wheels are large, making it easy to maneuver. The large diameter tires make it much easier to move over uneven ground, but some say that one wheel arrived that would not fit on the wheel, and that the fitting appears to be NPS, not NPT. The hose reel is a loose fit and slides on the axle, and the T fitting is different from the picture another reviewer submitted.

Reel used to hold 250-300' of 5/8 hose to run from hydrant to stock tank for 1x/week winter filling while waiting for spring thaw (so underground pipes could be repaired).
Pros:
** Reel really does hold 300' of hose comfortably
** Hose can be reeled onto reel very easily (see technique below)
** Hose unreels very easily too, no tipping over of cart while dragging hose off-- a great convenience when you are going up to 300' away in the mud and/or snow
** nice fat handle, not cheap thinwall conduit
** wheels are large, and easily cross curbs, bumpy grass hummocks, and reasonable depths of snow. Balance is good too, although the handle could be a bit longer for me
** maneuverability is excellent. I wanted a 2 wheel cart vs. 4 wheel cart for this reason.
Cons-- all very minor:
** I found the cart push handle could be 6" taller. Still very usable. Perfect height for 5'6" person, but that is not me.
** the central tube in the reel (the "axle") is hollow, and can fill with water. While the unit needs to be protected from freezing anyway (you can't use frozen hose very easily), accidental freezing may damage the axle tube and I felt the tube should be sealed off as the part would be hard to replace. There are other metal parts that can be damaged by freezing, but those are by and large standard plumbing parts and easy to obtain.
** the reel handle has metal to metal contact when rotating in its collar (the collar bearing itself is plastic, but the edge of the handle can contact the cylinder holding the plastic bearing part). I fabricated a washer of packing plastic-- you know that stiff sheet stuff that tools come in, and is pretty darned hard to get your stuff out of. This has worked very well, and should reduce the chances of rusting (my main concern is reduction of rusting).
** the hose whip on the reel is really stiff when cold. It works fine anyway, but it would be an improvement to have a low temperature hose plastic. This is user replaceable, it is after all just a short piece of hose w/hose connections and can be salvaged from a future dead low temp hose.
Other:
** I felt the basket was a waste of money for me. Maybe others stash all sorts of stuff in the basket. A hook or clamp for the hose whip on the reel would be more useful.
Unless you are Arnold Swartzenegger, the easiest way to wind the hose back on the reel is to pull the hose back towards the reel in a big U or W so that you aren't pulling more than 25-50' of hose at a time onto the reel. Longer tends to be very fatiquing-- up to 50', it is very easy to put your foot on the cart base, guide the hose with one hand, and crank the reel with the other hand. Indeed, it is amazingly easy compared to the cheap plastic reels. You get what you pay for I guess. I never dreaded rewinding the water filled hose with the Liberty 880 hose cart unlike those infernal cheap reels, or having to coil the hose up, lug it around, getting wet and muddy in the process.
Customer service: One wheel would not hold air pressure, it would leak down overnight. No problem getting a warranty replacement.
Too bad hardly anyone will read this review, since it appears the model 880 is out of production or otherwise unavailable...
-Paint job appears good so it shouldn't rust unless it gets chipped
-Appears to be able to hold 300 foot of 5/8 hose if you wind the hose very tightly
-The basket is in a useful place and is pretty large and deep.
--Cons--
-The quality of the build is very poor. I am pretty sure a high school kid could design and build this better. My wheels wobble and squeak because they are a loose fit. The reel is a loose fit and slides on the axle.
-The hose reel friction spring is too small so it is just sloppy and does nothing. This means the reel will unspool with gravity when you don't want it to.
-The cart itself is not a good design because there is not enough weight on the front of the unit so winding it causes it to become unstable unless you hold it down with the hand that you are guiding the hose on with. This is very awkward and a pain to deal with.
-The hose connection is not in a useful position for you to attach the hose to the reel. it was difficult to connect the hose correctly without it getting kinked. It should have a different hose connection that is pointing in a proper direction for the hose to reel up.
-Mine was missing two bolts with wing nuts. so I needed to supply my own. This is for the best anyway because the supplied bolts are far too long so they overhang in a hazardous way and they should have supplied washers to prevent damage to the paint coatings.
--Overall, if it were easy to return this cart I would. Whoever designed this, never tried to use it, judging by the obvious oversights.
Pros:
-This cart rolls and maneuvers well with the large wheels. I find it easier to move than the models I've had with 4 small wheels.
-It stays put pretty well when pulling hose off or putting it back on. When the reel is empty, I have to hold my foot on the cart for a bit to keep it in place while cranking the handle but, once some hose is loaded, it stays on its own.
-I find the simplicity of the open reel on this cart more convenient than the carts that are more enclosed. My other cart requires you to thread the hose through a little handle that's supposed to help guide the hose onto the reel but it doesn't work very well so I don't use it and now it's just in the way.
-The metal cart is solid after 6 years of use and the brass fittings have held up well.
-The wire basket is nice to hold nozzles or other items when you're not using them.
Cons:
-The cart came with non-stainless nuts and bolts that I expected to rust over time so I replaced them with stainless when I assembled it. That added extra expense up front, but has proven to be a wise decision as everything is still holding up well.
-The pneumatic tires go flat in storage. It's a minor inconvenience but it hasn't bothered me enough to replace them with solid wheels.
-Over time, the crank handle will start to make awful screeching noises when you crank it but a little lubricant fixes it for a while.
I paid a little under $125 for it in 2014, which I considered a bit of a gamble since hose carts usually don't last very long, and I'd say it's been a good investment.

Thankfully they responded promptly to my request in their website and sent me a new assembly. Took a couple of extra weeks but we got there eventually.
Second the handle keeps on falling off: maybe I’m doing something wrong but I mounted it according to the instructions.
Basically, using the handle to turn the barrel and get the hose rolled up unscrews the handle.
I don’t have a solution for that and believe it’s a design flaw.
Hence the 3 star ratings.
