Hozelock Wall Mounted Fast Reel with 40m hose

This hozelock product seems to be very good, and we found it so easy to put together we didnt really need to look at the instructions, a bit of common sense is all you need. it is easy to wind the hose back onto the reel, although as we bought such a long hose it does get a bit heavy to rewind when most of the hose is on the reel. Also as its so long you can get the hose in a bit of a muddle when rewinding if you have extended it fully, and I find its easier to carry most of the hose back to the reel location and then rewind it. This product seems sturdy and its very convenient especially if you want to use a long hose. The roller/guide mechanism underneath works well though if you put the hose too low down on the wall, the roller mechanism is then even lower, and this can make it a bit difficult to extend the hose while you are using it. I would suggest you put it as high up on the wall as you can bearing in mind you have to be able to use the rewind handle, so that the roller/guide mechanism is as high up as you can get it. I also thought it was very good value for the money, and delivery was quick.

Great product. No tangled pipe and easy to wind in.

I was a little reluctant to purchase a new Hozelock Wall Mounted Hoze Reel having read some of the recent reviews. But when I considered that my previous reel has lasted 20 years and still going strong I decided to bite the bullet. The unit is as good as my original (which is still in use). The hose has changed and the screws are now thankfully Phillips type. Installation took just under an hour including testing an recycling of packaging. I did make three changes. I added washers to the guide unit screws as the guide unit take all the strain and I felt this would spread the load on the plastic. I changed the tap comnnector for a metal link with a Terry clip. If this was necessary is debateable. I also changed the spray wand for a Audi handgun. I prefer a gun and the Audi unit is one tenth of the cost and lasted twice as long as my previous Hozlock ultra handgun. So great product that is a breeze to use.

Overall, this is a good quality hose reel that's easy to use and keeps the hose neat and tidy. The winding mechanism works well, and it's ideal for a larger garden with the 40m hose. Unfortunately, I've had to have this one replaced because it developed a leak where the hose connects inside the reel. This is now the second unit I've owned with the same fault. It's a great product when it works, but the recurring leak is disappointing and raises concerns about long-term reliability.

This is brilliant, bought it in 2018 and has been mounted and in use since. Still working as it should, it’s a bit faded but has lasted. It stays out in the winter so hasn’t been pampered or protected in any way.

The perfect hose reel, built with quality material, very easy to assemble and install

Excellent for the price. when purchased was thre best deal available anywhere. when fitting enure sufficient room at the top of placement as hose reel has an overhang on casing. Would suggest someone assists when mounting on wall etc.

Fast delivery.excellent product..

Works great no kinks happy with it

Couldn't be better :)

Wel goed apparaat. Alleen die slang spuit de eerste minuten heel veel schuim. Zonde van al dat water. Na jaren nog steeds dat schuim (durven de planten dan geen water te geven).

This is an outstanding product. It is the second one that I have purchased.

This is actually a replacement for the same model I bought nearly 30 years ago—yes, 30 years! The original Hozelock reel served me faithfully all that time, enduring decades of full Aussie sun and daily use. It only recently started to leak, which is fair enough after such a long run. The new reel looks and feels just as tough and well made. The hose is sturdy, the casing is solid, and the rewind mechanism is smooth and easy to use. It comes with all the hardware you need to mount it securely to the wall, and the instructions are clear. I had it up and running in no time. It’s great to see that Hozelock hasn’t compromised on quality over the years. If this one lasts anywhere near as long as the last, I’ll be more than happy. Highly recommend if you’re after a reliable, heavy-duty garden hose setup that can stand up to tough outdoor conditions.
