GoodyearAir Hose Reel Retractable 9.5mm x 20m Hybrid Polymer Hose Max 20BAR Commercial Polypropylene Construction w/Lead-in Hose and PVC Handle

Great quality hose...well made...premium materials..

Excellent

I had read some of the reviews where buyers had suggested that the hose can become tangled while being retracted but I still went ahead with the purchase, as it is my belief that some issues are created through misuse. However, in practice I have found that great care needs to be taken when retracting the hose as there is no guide within the mechanism to prevent the hose piling up at one end thus jamming the hose against the casing. This reel was more expensive by far than the retractable garden hose, made by a well known company, that I recently bought. This reel has a guide mechanism which slides from side to side while the hose is being retracted to ensure that the hose is evenly distributed along the drum. Why couldn't the manufacturer of the Goodyear hose do something similar??

Very impressive.

First let me mention that the description says 1/4 inch BSP, but the hose terminations are actually 3/8. Also, both ends of the hose are male threads, yet the supplied male Euro connector is male too. So only enough connectors to connect one end. The build quality is OK. It functions OK, but I do feel I paid for the Goodyear sticker and could have got the same features much cheaper. A little bit disappointed to be honest.

I could hove bought cheaper but quality is king
