    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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWhen worked it was great. Exactly what I wanted. The prominent 5 year warranty in the description was reassuring. However the final three years is only valid if registered. Only realised this when the hose failed to retract after 3 years. So if you do buy this, register the warranty I’d you don’t want 20m of hose to be coiled up instead of in the drum.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI now have 2 of these, one for the front of the house and one for the back, even though our 30metre version is long enough to reach both. It is so much easier to have 2

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI purchased this hose last summer and delighted with it so far. Replaced a expandable (stretchy) hose with this Hozelock Auto Reel and it has been very easy to use, didn’t freeze up or fall apart in the winter.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersReplaced a 25M hozelok that I had for about 20 years as I moved to a new house with a longer garden. The 40 metre version is quite a big unit but attached to the wall fine. It fully unraveled OK and rewound fine. Haven’t used it for three weeks but used it yesterday and hose would not fully rewind. It stopped with about 4 metres of hose still out. I tried to pull some out and then ease it back several times and it took me about ten minutes to get it back on the reel. The 25 m version never had any trouble fully rewinding. Tried several times unwinding it fully and rewinding and after a few goes it seems to be rewinding OK now.

    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).

    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.

    A great bit of garden kit! 🤗

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersAfter years of wasting my money on cheap solutions to the old problem of storing a hose pipe I decided ‘bugger it’ I’m going to invest in a hozelock reel. I did have to consult the doctor with chest pains and the bank manager for a loan when I saw the prices but I went ahead. 100 for a hose pipe and abit of plastic!!! but its sturdy enough and the hose does look incredibly thick and robust. After testing it this weekend the retractable mechanism does seem to work very efficiently. Its very easy to install, simply four screws and wall plugs and thats it. Its not easy getting it straight on pebble dash but I managed in the end. It hangs well, its incredibly neat, the 40m one isn’t too bulky and only sticks out 30cm from the wall so I’m very happy. Will it last, will the mechanism continue to work who knows but sofar so good. Admittedly I won’t be able to eat for a month or two but at least my garden isn’t covered with badly coiled hosepipes.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI was replacing an old auto reel that had never been the same since a Robin built a nest in it. It was about 10 years old and had been really good up to that point. The mounting holes where in a different position on the new bracket so I had to drill and plug 3 new holes but the instructions are good. Really easy to assemble (be aware that the parts kit is actually in the reel hosing). This is big and quite heavy reel so some people may appreciate a second pair of hands to lift into place. The reel is noticeably smoother and quieter than the old version. I would say that the plastics seem a little thinner on this version so time will tell if it lasts as long as the old one. Overall, really pleased.

    ‘Reely’ good auto reel. :-)

    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!

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersI was about to buy a new one of these for a new area where we’ve planted young trees and noticed, to my amazement that I bought the one by the house 7 years ago in May 2011. We use it everyday for watering around the house, cleaning the cars and filling the dog water buckets (8 big dogs). In summer we leave it out sometimes in boiling weather with delivery men treading on it in big boots and in winter we never bring it in (as they recommend) it suffers dreadful cold and yet never fails us. No leaks, retracts well and smoothly and I couldn’t be happier with it, which is why I am about to order another one. If you have struggled with hand winding, back-breaking reels, kinking hose, then buy this. Yes, once in a blue moon it kinks, but 99% of the time it does not, and I really loathe the cheap hose kinking nightmare.
    This is as good as our expensive Tricoflex hose, but the auto reel is the game-changer. I love it.

    Golden Review Award: 74 From Our UsersBought this to replace our old manual winding Hozelock (15m) hose as we really wanted to go beyond the rear garden and have scope to get to the front of the house to wash the car, water the front garden and clean the front patio.

    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!!

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 33 From Our UsersHow did I do all the flower bed watering before without one of these!!……… However, the product is flawed as the material used on the outer structure is clearly unsuitable for the purpose as the two disk like side panels have become so distorted that they fall out even in the slightest wind and cannot easily be relocated in there intended fitting positions….. Incidentally this product is not exposed to any sunlight it is always in the shade which made the problem even more surprising. I didn’t want to have to decouple the bulky item from the wall and return it. So, I decided it was repairable if I screwed 10off shallow self tapping screws about the periphery of the finishing disks located on each side so as not to interfere with the inner workings…. Not the happiest but the problem is solved!!

    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.

    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.

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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our Usersbought it to replace a self wind version by the same company which gave up the ghost after about 5 years. it’s a bit of a monster, but it is the 40m version, also would’ve liked a fixing template to save a little time in mounting the reel.
    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.
