This is the second time I purchased this item first one lasted 5 years them locked up and they way they are made at the factory once open connot be reassemble
I’ve got mine on a large fence post for security the only issue is the retaining hose back in when finished watering is not the best very slow and the last three or four feet it needed help getting it back i
Bought to replace previous Hozeloc garden hose which has given 21 years of good service. Having said that, I suspect that this new one, which is more sophisticated having a locking mechanism, is also less robust and is much less likely to be here in twenty one years time.
Excellent product,easy to water garden ,no bending to return hose just watch it go by itself easy to mount on wall close to water tap with easy lift off for storage during winter would highly recommend .
This is the second hose I’ve bought one for the back and one for the font both work fine as I’m disabled I can. now water everything they are brilliant . Buy with convidence you won’t be disappointed .
These are so easy to fit and my other half declared the original one I bought him the best birthday present id even got him, even though I was endlessly mocked for buying it him.
The auto retract is simply brilliant I would simply never go back to a standard hosepipe again. I recently have used a cheaper expandable version for when I just needed to do the front pots, but ultimately it turns out, this is worth paying the extra for in all circumstances.
I do wish they would make them in more early tones so that they would blend in with the garden more though. This is my only gripe, though if I had been able to find another brand in a nicer, more blending in kind of could, I would have been tempted to give them a go. But ultimately, this is a really great hosepipe.
Easy to assemble and attach to the wall. No issues with the screws and plugs provided. Works a dream, easy to pull out and retracts perfectly. Make sure you register online for the five year warranty.
Installation was easy, my husband did it alone but I’d recommend using a level for the bracket. He forgot and ours is a little wonky but isn’t noticeable or impact use.
While I love the idea, I won’t be buying this design again because after a couple of years mold started growing inside the enclosure and the hose looks horrible now, I think I’ll be going for an open reel design in the future.
Much smoother to operate than old Hozelock reel. I replaced the fixings supplied by bigger and longer fixings. The customer services at Hozelock were first class.

Only used a couple of times so far, winter weather, not leaving outside on the wall don’t want it to freeze.
Be warned this is a real beast of a machine, not a light weight to lift on and off wall mounting/

Replaced my old one and just love using it for anything outside around house and garden. Great for using with Karcher for car wash as well as hosing anywhere in garden or patio. Would definitely recommend it. Great value for money.
Really happy with this hose reel… just needed to connect the pipe inside and tighten with a threaded nut. Works as it should, no messing about wraping the hose up, just release the mechanism by pulling the hose and it retracts the hose automatically…
This product is brilliant, its easy to install and use and makes the usual hard work of watering a large garden easy peasy! I would totally recommend this product to any gardener.

I don’t know how I have managed all these years without this. It is so easy to use. Gets the job done so much quicker than using my old hose on a reel. The thing I love best about it is the comfortable way the hose retracts perfectly back inside the drum. I absolutely love it and highly recommend. Totally recommend this item.
J’en avais dja un depuis de nombreuses annes et devant la qualit du produit j’en ai command un deuxime !
I bought this hose to replace a shorter one that I had had for 15+ years. I hope it is as good as its predecessor. So far so good.
There were.parts of the installation that could of been done before dispatch/during the manufacture ie connecting the hose internally. Seemed easy but is a 2 person especially when putting it in the wall bracket.
I had the 20m version but not quite long enough for the garden and as this was was so good bought the 40m same features and just as excellent would never return to a manual wind up hose reel!
Very good product with a very long length of retractable hose.This large one is perhaps a little heavy to be solely mounted on a wall so have assisted the mounting by putting a house brick underneath.Very pleased and it does the watering job perfectly.
This is a great piece of equipment and I only bought this to replace the previous one that an over-zealous builder managed to break!
I wouldn’t be without one and so I purchased anew one immediately.
By no means cheap … but it is good.
Difficult to put on the wall as you have to screw it in at an angle but once it is up its brilliant.
It is easy to move around, also the hose is easy to pull out and retract. For the price the quality is good. I would recommend this produce. Do make sure that, due to the weight of the product, you secure it properly to the wall.
MUCH MUCH easier that my old winder hose, sometimes its a little hesitant to pull back into the holder, but overall a great bit of kit, and a good price on Amazon too.
Easy to fit and use. The only thing is that you have to watch how quickly the hose is pulled back into the reel and feed it in gently. Apart from that it’s a great buy and avoids the ‘who used the hosepipe last and didn’t roll it up’ argument that you get with manual hose reels.

Had one of these previously, and had no problems. This one purchased as a gift. Great product and the rewind facility well worth paying a bit extra for as the hand winding hoses tend to bunch up after a time and don’t always wind evenly causing irritating jamming.
So far so good, takes a bit of strength to pull the hose to the bottom of our garden but puts its self away brillianty, the only thing that lets it down is the silly little screws they supply to hang it on the wall as it’s quite heavy.
Best in the business!?
I previously had a 20m one. Quick, speedy return into holder.
It’s obvious really, but the 40m needs a much larger return spring. So much drag on 40m hose. I was hoping it would be more willing to return, but it still made easy work of putting the hose away.( even if it needed loads of encouragement for the last 3m)
I love this. I have health issues and this makes life easier.It is best to switch the water supply off at the tap and leave the hose open before using the self winding function. The water will then drain as the hose retracts into the housing. It looks very neat too.
This is a nice neat bit of equipment and is easy to assemble. However if the tap for the hose is set to the right of the hose reel (when looking at it) rather than the left then the feeder hose can restrict the movement of the hose reel in that direction (unless the tap and the reel are set very close together).

Such a huge difference to watering the garden or cleaning the car. Much easier to use and store the hose, and the great benefit is; not having muddy hose marks on my legs after fighting with 120ft snake!
Makes a tedious job much easier and I like that I can move the hose easily to water the front garden and the back too. The only thing is that sometimes it doesn’t retract the last few metres of hose. I usually give up trying and then a few minutes later it works fine !
A great piece of garden kit. Don’t know why we haven’t bought one of these years ago. Really easy to use. Makes watering the garden a breeze – we have a very large garden. Don’t do what I did and think about it for ages, just buy it! it will make your life a whole lot easier. You do need a drill to put it up and it’s not very light (we bought the 40 m one) which is a lot of hose, but once it’s up anyone can manage it.
I’m very very happy with my purchase.
La lancia in dotazione dovrebbe avere un rubinetto, infatti io l’ho sostituita
Keine verhedderten Schluche mehr, der Schlauch ist nach dem Gebrauch sauber aufgerollt und “verschwindet” in der Trommel
En remplacement d’un modle plus petit de la mme marque. Parfai
I bought this hose for the garage so that I can water the front garden and wash the cars. We put a larger one in the back garden in the summer and I was surprised at how much we used it. The winding back of the hose makes it so much easier as that is the worst bit about getting the hose out. No more problems now, it’s just a really quick job.
I’m hoping my teenage son may offer to wash the cars now that there is a hose ready to use!
This is as good as our expensive Tricoflex hose, but the auto reel is the game-changer. I love it.
It was pretty straight forward to install (all of the parts are contained under the side cover) and comes supplied with a variable jet spray nozzle (which I replaced with a Hozelock Multi-Spray Ultramax), a short length of tap connection hose, two hose connectors (‘regular’ and ‘water stop’ valve – which I replaced with metal ‘Pro’ versions), a screw tap connector with adaptor (again, replaced with a metal ‘Pro’ version) and 4 x 50mm screws with 7mm wall plugs which – given the weight of this (17kg empty) – looked mismatched and basically not up to the job… but if you drill them tight to the specified 7mm into a good solid wall surface, combined, I found they were absolutely rock solid on our brick wall (drilled through the brick, not the mortar).
To use, it takes a few goes to get used to the ‘locking to the length you want’ and ‘rewinding’ procedures but you start to feel how it works and then it’s easy. The mechanism winds the hose in and distributes it evenly on the enclosed reel as it does so. It’s pretty clever in that regard. And of course, the whole unit is detachable from the wall bracket (lockable with a padlock) so that it can be stored during the cold months (which is highly recommended to extend the life of the unit). The hose itself is Hozelock’s finest ‘Ultramax’ and… well, time will tell… but I expect it will outlast the lifetime of the unit if looked after.
Downsides? Well… firstly, it’s [neccessarily] big and quite heavy… so make sure you know what you’re letting yourself in for in that regard. Having said that, once it’s installed and folded against the wall, the size of it oddly disappears and it just becomes another bit of plastic garden kit. Second, it’s easy to be put off by the supplied screws and wall plugs. They really don’t look like they will hold it up and having read some reviews on here, they haven’t… but I feel this may be an installation issue. Make sure you mount it on a good wall, drill accurately and to instruction and you’ll be fine. Get your own beefier anchors if it inspires more confidence in the product, but in my view, that won’t be neccessary for most applications. Third, the shape of the wall bracket won’t allow for some electric screwdrivers or drill screwdriving to be used without risk of wrecking the screwheads. I used a 12″ long ‘old school’ ‘Pozidrive’ screwdriver and screwed them in manually but it was hard work! And then lastly, ours leaks a little bit… somewhere within the casing that I can’t really get to without voiding the warranty probably… but again, it’s not a real deal-breaker as it’s not a lot and it is mounted above our perimeter grille drain so it’s dealt with. I’ll keep an eye on this because if it really starts to wee over the next few months, I’ll probably hassle Hozelock for a replacement.
Other than that, It’s excellent and a joy to use. Highly recommended.
** Review Edit 1**
Okay, so it’s been a week and a bit… and it has started to properly leak internally. I would’ve tolerated it if the leak continued to be a dribble as the hose retraction still worked perfectly and water pressure was still good… but it’s turned into a fountain at the Auto Reel end so I’ve requested a replacement from Amazon, who’s legendary customer support was again, superb (Hozelock’s support phoneline incidently, is constantly engaged). New one arrives tomorrow. Hopefully, leak-free. Will keep you updated.
** Review Edit 2 **
New one arrived… swapped them out. No leaks. Sorted!!
Having previously wasted the cost of this excellent hose on the so-called x-hose type shrinking hoses, which are so fragile we went through 4 of them in 6 weeks, never to be repeated, I can’t praise the Hozelock Auto Reel enough, tough and reliable. Do not ever waste money on the so-called x-hose type shrinking hoses as they are absolutely useless.

Looking for a new house for a little while but never quite got round to deciding which to go for. Saw the Hozelock 40m auto return on Amazon and realised I would need the longer hose to reach from the back to the front of the house. It arrived in timely fashion and I had somewhat underestimated the weight of 40 metres of quality hose! The kit includes a template for the mounting holes with screws and plastic plugs, albeit the latter are on the small side for such a weighty item . The bracket supplied makes for easy “lift on” of the main hose box which properly mounted provides 180 degree rotation. This is a quality product and I would not hesitate to recommend it particularly the auto rewind version with the longest length version.
1 thing I like to do is hold a damp rag at the mouth of the auto-retract loosely around the hose as garden debris will stick to the hose and may build up inside the unit over time.
Choosing the best position to mount the hose is important!

Great piece of kit. Makes watering the garden an easy task. I bought this for my 87 year old dad. Now he can water his garden without getting the hose all knotted up and use with very little effort. This is really heavy (hopefully making it robust) so he couldn’t fit it but my hubby fitted with no probs. It came very well packaged.
Hozelock Auto Rewind 40 m Hose Reel with Connectors and Fittings – Colour May Vary
Bought this for a very large garden where the last hose was filthy and sticky from age. It works really well and is a pleasure to use. No more fighting with the hose, just grab and walk to where you need it and then when done feed it back in. Perfect!
=============
PRO’S
=============
Really long hose
Easy to use
Looks well made and will last
=============
CON’S
=============
Doesn’t autofeed without your help – the weight of the hose means you have to walk it back until the weight drops and then it whips it away from you

OVERALL SUMMARY
=================
I am very pleased with this hose – no more dirt!
The best hose I have ever had! Because… although the reel is much larger than I anticipated, ( it will be if it has to house a 40m hose), the hose itself is extremely good quality, the rewind mechanism is superb, no more fiddling around winding the hose manually onto a reel which invariably causes kinks. I can now easily water any part of my garden, no more joining hoses, watering us now a simple process that is especially appreciated during the hot weather when twice daily watering is required. Excellent product, highly recommend as it does exactly what you need it to do.

however now its up it performs extremely well . it’s light to manoeuvre whilst deploying and as for the self rewind its fantastic- well worth the extra money (little to chose from in comparison to the 30m version) would suit someone less able or someone who finds gardening more difficult with advancing years
I was a little dubious about this hose reel having read some previous unfavourable reports. There has been no sign of leaking so far. The spring release and retraction mechanism is usually very efficient although it has stuck on one or two occasions. It takes a degree of effort to pull the hose from the reel – I find it is best to do this with both hands close to the reel then move the released hose to the point of use rather than just pull it out, which is quite hard on the muscles!
I am pleased with the hose which, so long as it proves durable, will be worth the considerable outlay.
I suffer with lower back problems and bought the auto rewind hose reel to make life easier. Following the instructions we found it easy to fit on a wall with the enclosed fittings. We liked the fact you could lock it with a padlock – good to deter the opportunist thief. The rewind mechanism feels quite robust and as a consequence it probably wouldn’t suit someone frail as you need a bit of strength to pull the hose out. The hose appears to be good quality which we hope will last a long time. We bought the 40m version but compared to our previous 30m manual rewind hose we found the water pressure dropped a bit due to the increased length, so bear this in mind. Rewinding is a doddle – you give it a tug and it automatically rewinds the hose for you. It’s very neat, you can swivel it 180 degrees, it does what it says.
Overall we are very pleased with the purchase and would recommend this hose reel.
