FloproProfessional Metal Hose Reel, Essential Garden Accessory for Neat Hose Storage, Wall-Mounted or Freestanding Garden Hose Reel

I'm delighted with this purchase. It's compact, very robust and well designed. I've loaded 35m of Hozelock Tuffhoze (composite fabric+polythene hose) without difficulty. Far superior to any of the plastic hose reels I've owned before. I'm not sure the screws supplied with the wall mounting kit would be quite up to the job, but as I'll be using mine freestanding that's not an issue.

Im really pleased with this- heavy high quality- should last for years. The Water inlet connection is Brass not plastic.Easily holds my 30metre hose with lots of room for a longer hose.Note that you will also need to aquire a short Hose with a connector on each end to connect this HoseReel to your tap. I got a 1 metre length complete with connectors from ToolStation and it works fine.

Quality product and works extremely well.

This is such a massive improvement on the previous cheap plastic hose reel I've been persevering with for a few years (despite the handle snapping a couple of years ago!}. Well made and runs beautifully.I will, though, add my voice to those who're commenting about the quality of the wall brackets - truly crap. Thin painted mild steel, and supplied with steel screws. Would it really add much or anything to the cost to use stainless steel for the fittings? I'd far sooner have better fittings than spare washers (which tend to last ages and spares will be lost by the time they're needed!)I live in a very windy coastal area (Orkney) and the reel reassures me; I've binned the fixings, though, and made my own saddle clips from stainless sheet and attached using stainless screws. An extra hour work and the reel is not easily removable, but the rigidity and quality of the originals persuaded me that it would probably hang far longer if I simply started from scratch.Yes, I'm banging on about this. The contrast between the clips and the reel itself is actually jarring, and I would recommend this reel wholeheartedly if the qualities matched; as it is, unless you don't wish to wall mount, treat with caution. Does the supplier read these reviews? I'm trying to be helpful!

Great quality quick service. I would recommend.

Arrived on time. Easy to assemble. Very happy with the look and feel shaw it should last for years. Very little to go wrong just hope the seals keep the water in.

I was reluctant to pay the seemingly high price for this item but having taken the plunge was pleasantly surprised. Some very minor assembly required by means of screwing the handle on, but otherwise ready to go. This is a pretty simple item by design but uses decent thickness of stainless steel and aluminium frame. Feels very sturdy and should not tarnish over time.Well worth the extra money versus the typical plastic ones. This feels like it will last a long time. It has an almost homemade quality about it given the sturdy build. Rarely can you buy items like this nowadays.Nowhere on the item, packaging or listing could I find information about country of origin. Any time in my experience this information cannot be found, it means made in China. I assume that is the case here unfortunately.I wound up a 25m Gardena SuperFlex 13mm hose and it could obviously take more than this, winds very easily.

At 1st I was impressed with the apparent build quality and feel. But as soon as I plugged it in to the water mains it leaked from the hoslock inlet on the reel, so I sent it straight back. Awful product, for the price you expect much better.
