Cassette feels solid, the wall bolts are strong, the recoil is rapid, hose and gun are great. The rotation on the bracket is sufficient.but I struggle to understand why the designer didn’t make the bracket protrude about 10mm more because then the cassette would fold absolutely flat against the wall; it doesn’t deter from its functionality, it’s just annoying! I’m still delighted with it though
This is a fabulous addition to a big garden. Saves so much time, attach to water and go water plants, after it winds it self and lookes tidy again. Only downside it has to be fixed to a wall, but if you have the right drill and bit, fab!!!
Wow what a great hose this is. It is very heavy so a helping hand while wall mounting wouldn’t go amiss. Hose is thick so hopefully won’t kink. The retractable mechanism is smooth and works well but it’s better to pull out what you need rather than pull it on the move. Worth every penny!
All works well, I found it easier to rewind if I turned off the tap and opened the valve to relieve the pressure.
You will need a handyman to fit it as you have to drill holes in the wall.
ideal hose for garden or car. make sure fitting is sound and secure to wall.
Nice looking hose reel. Once fitted it pulls out smoothly and locks when required. A gentle tug, the holding lock is released and the hose quickly reels back in. Love i
What can I say, but 10/10. Purchased an item a year ago and have been 100% happy. It developed a fault, contacted their support and whow, a complete replacement. No quibbles, no spend money to send it back, just a replacement. Not only do I recommend, I’ll look at their other items ahead of more established competitors.
Arrived quickly
Easy to fit
Easy to use and pleasantly light to pull out
Retracts very smoothly
Very happy
Had this for the last few months of summer and away for the winter in the garage. Easy to take off the wall fixing. Straightforward to put on the house wall and allows me to get at the front, side and rear of the house for the plants and car washing.
Reel works fine and retracts well, no kinking, no hose line lying around on the floor.
Usual choice of sprinkler settings from the gun at the end with enough alternatives to suit my needs.
Yes it is expensive compared to some alternatives but the quality stands out. Obviously not able to comment on longevity yet but the signs are good.
Reason for 4 stars – delivery issue. The first one I ordered was never delivered, it was sent by Royal Mail and according to their tracking it never got into their system. I was offered a refund by Amazon which I accepted. There was then further confusion with the supplier offering a refund or a replacement. I decided to place a new order with Amazon and this was delivered the following day by Amazon. The connecting hose from the reel is kinked permanently at present, I’m hoping that this will disappear in use though. The fixings supplied are robust and hold the reel on the wall extremely well. I’m pleased with the reel despite the delivery issues.
This is a pricey enough hose but the quality doesn’t match the price. First time using the hose head had water squirting out of the side of it, soaking me the user. I contacted the company hoping they would replace the hose head but instead I received a 9.50 refund, no response just a refund, which was no real use to me as I had to then buy another hose head which cost 20. I replaced the hose head and was using the hose when the outer Pvc casing of the hose blew. I was using my hot water tap outside at the time which I have used with my Hozelock for years with no issues. The reason this happened with the giraffe hose is the pvc outer hose covering is extremely thin. Needless to say I regret buying this hose, the main reason I chose it was because I wanted a black hose. Wish I hadn’t bothered.
Edit: the company have been in touch and gave me a full refund, maybe I just had a faulty item
Hopeless.
Pipe recall barely works.
pipe can off middle roll so had to take apart to fit back on and then happened again.
Frustrating and nowhere near the quality of usual brands.
Thrown away after a few months
UPDATE – After review company got in touch and a full refund was received – Does not change how useless the product was but absolute 1st class customer service
I purchased this item in replacement for another one which I returned. Absolutely brilliant with a very long hose and so easy to retract back into its base. I would recommend this, no more carrying heavy watering cans dependent on any hosepipe ban in your area of course!
It can be so difficult to rewind long hose pipes manually without getting kinks – and it can be hard work. This 30m reel assembly is just so easy and quick.
Works really well but the return speed is vicious with 30m hose. Need to hang on for dear life.
I’m happy with this product, which was relatively easy to install and is working well.
Solidly built; feels like it will last a lot longer than my previous hozelock reel that only lasted 4 years.
A very good retractable reel, easy to fit and a good quality product. Unfortunately the first reel arrived with a damaged side cover, but I liked the reel so I order a replacement which was Ok. So much easier to use, the new patio prompted me to invest in a new much better retractable unit. Good choice
Happy with product however it doesn’t fold flat against the wall as advertised
Nice and easy to fit with all wall raw plugs included.
Very happy with this hose.Does what I want it to.u
I bought this hose reel for my daughter as I thought it would be easier to use than a manual one. Also it is not as bulky as some other makes. She has only had it for a few weeks but so far it is working fine, very easy to pull out and retract when wanting to rewind. I fitted it on the wall but used a wooden batten to fix it against so that it has enough clearance against the wall to turn through 180 degrees.
So much easier with watering garden and no bending over to wind hose in as this retracts it self just hold hose and watch it go back
After 8 months of light use it leaked, but to giraffes credit a replacement was sent to me… this to me is how you find a good company on how they deal with problems 5* on tha
Great value for money, extremely robust. I do like the reel process which when retracting the hose it rewinds tangle free and is such an ease to use.
This is one of the best tools I have acquired. A high quality long hose with a clever mechanism for easy retraction, and an excellent spray head with several different settings. The unit is quite heavy and the bolts for fixing it to a vertical surface are a bit awkward to drive in, so I have supported the unit on bricks as well to take some of the weight. But it still rotates enough to enable the hose to be taken out at an angle left or right. It has revolutionised our ability to water distant plants, and especially tubs. Strongly recommended.
Easy to fit and works brilliantly. Simple to use and comes with all fittings and hose spray options which are really useful.
Easy assembly . Gun is cheap plastic but work . Connection are tight and well fit . No leaks . Pipe is hard better then cheap one . Roller is working good so far . Maybe price should be lower a bit . You can find for this price better value product on sales .
I had an issue with my product, Giraffe Tools, well what can I say great!! customer service, I emailed them and they replied promptly they resolved it very quickly, i would not hesitated to buy any products from them in the future, thank you so much Giraffe Tool Team.
Pros
– no longer put off watering since it’s so easy to windup.
– the winding mechanism is strong and fast, daunting at first
– easy to mount using 4 screws
– tilts 180deg and stays flat on the wall when not in use
Cons
– might need a bit more power to pull/unwind the hose because of the motor.
Overall very happy with the product and hopefully the motor and battery will last a long time.
Getting older, and definitely a bit creaky, I needed a hose that would behave itself and be easy to pull out and, more importantly, rewind, with little effort. I read loads of opinions on a variety of retractable hose reel and decided that this one was a reputable brand, so would go for it. Not sure about the assembling comment, I had a man who did all the necessary to affix it to the wall, so no issues there. I would point out that this hose ( and perhaps all retractable hoses?) is not so easy to pull out, and requires a bit of strength. I thought I could just wander easily to the front garden from the back ..alas, no. However, I have now worked out that if I pull it out to the required length, ( hint, mark hose with coloured tape! ) right beside the box rather than with the spray end where I want to water, then I can work it very well. Same for retracting, go to beside the box and feed it in gently. It is still a lot easier than my previous hose, on a wheel, and I am reasonably happy with it, though I do t think the hose itself is not of a brilliant quality, I noticed one ” kink” already, so am keeping fingers crossed. It was an expensive item, so really hope it lasts.

I bought this retractable hose on the strength of the reviews. As one of the reviewers put it I wish I had bought this hose long ago.
It fits perfectly on the back wall of my house and it was easy to set up.
It is easy to pull out and to make it stop retracting itself back while in use.
Because of its length I can use it for both the back and the front garden.
The great variety of settings for the head is extremely useful.
I cannot fault it.

It’s advertised as 180 rotation but if you screw to a flat wall that’s not the case because the reel container will not fold flat against the wall and sticks out about 3 inches.
This is extremely annoying and as a consequence I’m having to put a 20 mm wood spacer to move the bracket out from the wall far enough so that the hose body folds flatter. That also requires me buying 20 mm longer bolts so additional expense of 7 I wasn’t expecting.
Other than that this is an excellent product.
UPDATE
Even with a 20mm spacer between the wall and bracket the hose reel does not fold flat to the wall so definitely not a 180 degree hinge, more like 150 degree. We have a narrow alleyway down the side of the house and although this is only a couple of extra inches wide due to not folding flat it’s a pain. See photo.
Also please be careful as the plastic does scratch very easily.
Still a very useful hose reel just a little disappointed with the description.

Recently done my garden up (partly). With a new lawn laid I knew I needed a easy to access yet time saving mechanism as I’ve been watering my grass twice per day.
I’m not the best with DIY, but attaching this with help from a drill and level it went on straight within minutes.
Hose extends and retracts very smoothly. I’m really pleased with my purchase.
The manufacturer gives a disclaimer of offering 180 degrees rotation if mounted on a post: why not just extend the mounting bracket to accommodate the width of the reel o a wall? Or at least offer an optional extension.
Otherwise, a good quality product which mounts easily and offers a convenient hose without the need to manually reel back in. This length of hose should give good reach for most domestic properties and the hose’s structure appears unlikely to spring leaks on being compressed by repeated rolling.
So happy with this hose reel, easy to use would recommend it.
Don’t use the wall plugs that come with it, they are not fit for purpose, they just spin so screws won’t go in. Fortunately I had my own rawl plugs and installed without issue using them. Hose works as it should, didn’t have any issues with kinks as mentioned in other reviews. Just watered the gardens, one with the included spray gun and one attached to a sprinkler. So far happy with the hose reel.
This is a serious bit of kit. Well made and very sturdy, looks and feels like it’ll last for years and years. The unspooling/spooling mechanism works very well too. Highly recommended.
Disliked that it did not sit plumb with the wall but all working ok
Un bon produit. La coque en plastique est de bonne qualit.
So delighted with this highly recommended value for money and fast delivery will be ordering
one for my so
It was a bit difficult to get the pin out we had to use a hammer and pliers. Pretty easy to put on the wall.
So far this has been excellent. Relatively easy to install (you will need a 12mm masonry drill) and retracts and swivels very well. Mounted at the back of the house and should reach all the way to the front going round the corne
ice strong reel and so easy to use. Would recommend.
Really good value for money. Easy to fix to the wall.
My wife likes to sprinkle in the garden she goes everywhere.
Very happy with look/finish and fucntion…need a heavy duty palce to fix it to and and powerful hammer-drill for the hex screws fittings.
I absolutely love my giraffe retractable hoses. I run a dog boarding and daycare facility and these are perfect to use in our outdoor play areas. I bought 4 of them I liked them so much.
Great hose tough hose
Easy to use
V good after sale service
Highly recommended
Just 3 bolts and it was mounted onto the wall as solid as you like. All you need to do this is supplied.
Seems to work well straight off the bat. Well made and robust. Can’t really fault it at all.
This is the second summer of use and it works perfectly. You can see the color faded from the sun. Easy to put away for the winter.
This is a great product but be careful when rewinding it’s very fast and and cut my husbands finger quite badly,we have learnt now to hold the hose and let it rewind at your pace.also it does not do a180degree
pivot, the wall bracket would have to be bigger to achieve this.
A big improvement on previous one. Colour more suitable for wall and sunny garden; hose more flexible; easy brake at any length; rewinds smoothly at right speed.
works great for maneuverability for my wife and son instead of moving a very heavy hose
Came ready assembled, so just had to get somebody to fasten it to the wall! He did this in about 10 minutes.
easy to use and great that the hosepipe retracts back into the casing – rather than having to spend 10 minutes rewinding it to the old carrier I had. would recommend.
It stretches easily to my whole garden and also retracts easily
It is very heavy but it is very easy to install. It took under 10 minutes but you do need a very sturdy support pole or wall. I also love the way that the hose retracts.
I bought this for my husband as his old one broke he said it’s even better than the other one he had would definitely recommend
This comes ready assembled. You just have to drill 3 holes in the wall to mount it.
It automatically recoils. With a simple tug the hose gets drawn back into the housing. Wow what a difference!
100% recommended buy one.
My garden watering was a chore until I brought this, it puts itself away and is really long

Love everything about this hose. Watering the garden is now a pleasure, fabulous sprayhead, retracts easily and unit folds back to the wall neatly. Great price too!
Very good love the almost 180 degrees of movement the auto retract for the hose my only 2 bad things are the hole guide in the manual is not to size almost 4mm off in the length and only other problem is the holes of the mounting screws are very tight to the frame have to force a socket over it or use an open ended spanne
Only one minor point. When mounted on the wall it doesn’t quite swing through 180 degrees, more like 160 but not enough of a drawback to knock a star off!
Really pleased with this hose. Everything works like it should and feels pretty sturdy.
I like this product, which is sturdy and easy to install, and their amazing customer service. I purchased it 6 months ago and it’s still in perfect condition. I had some issues with nozzle, but customer service returned me 20$ back to purchase new one.If in future I will decide to purchase another one for front yard, it definitely will be their product.
It works as advertised, and it’s durable. After heavy used, it broke just before the warranty ends, and the company sent me a new replacement.
It’s so much easier than using a handle wind back hose. It doesn’t kink and is really easy to use
Didn’t meet my needs but customer service was immediately responsive to my issues and exceeded my expectations.
Really like this reel. I watched reviews on so many and finally decided on this one and am glad I did. Delivers plenty of water, extends and retracts easily. Seems to be of high quality and customer service is very good. Had a little issue that was rectified quickly and easily. Installation was tough for me in that I had to install a 4×4 into a boot anchored into a concrete slab but love the final resul
We ordered the 5/8 inch hose and received the 1/2 inch hose.
