Ease of use.
The second delivery was what we expected and work really well for our needs. The ease of operation of the reel is really worth the money paid.

Wow this is brilliant. Took my husband about 10 minutes to put the handle on, as it didn’t want to slide the grey plastic top, he had to us a soft hammer. Using this is great but just remember to pull it out straight and when rolling back in lay the hose out straight, release the tap end of the hose and it winds in beautifully. Quite heavy but no problem wheeling it around to put away.
4 years of hassle free hosing!
I’ve had this for 4 years now installed outside in my garden. Its a very tidy solution for a garden hose. I don’t use it as often as I would like to but it hasn’t had any problems, no leaks or issues with reel. The reel automatically layers the hose as you wind it up so it always fits in. The hose guide is very useful to fit underneath the reel and makes unwinding/winding easier.
Great Product!
Easy to use. Putting the hose away is made simple by the handle and mechanism, which is not hard to turn even if the hose is nearly fully stored. Used it many times and still going strong.
Very good except the rewind mechanism fails too quickly and cannot ...
This is the third one of these I’ve had. Very good except the rewind mechanism fails too quickly and cannot be replaced. About a four year life for my usage..
Value for money
Superb assembly- feels like a slightly thinner hose than I was expecting- so flow ‘slightly ‘ less but fits all standard Hozelock parts of which the full needed bits are included! Lovely to wind in when properly mounted – good value for the money – thanks
Quality product.
Fixed to wall,plumbed in all within 5 or 6 mins no problems whatsoever,hozelock quality as always had the last one over 15 years an expecting this to last longer……

fine decided on this model after reading the reviews saying the retractable model packed up after 5 years, thought and hope this model will last longer !

I bought this item to replace an existing one whose return spring had stopped working after many years of helpful service. I hope this one does not go the same way, but I will take the manufacturers advice and put it away in Winter.
Ease of use in pulling out and rewinding.
I like the fact that it can be reeled out easily and winding in is simple.
I think the locking of pulling the hose out a bit fiddly as you need cross head screwdriver to move the locking lever. Could this be replaced by a spring loaded righrangeld thin bar.
Better than I expected for the price I paid. Very happy
Can’t believe I got this for the price I did . 40m, easily retracted and pulled out. Hung up on wall. Plenty of connections and instructions. Easily removed from side of wall for use in different locations. Excellent delivery also.
Very happy with this purchase and value for money
Very good, and
Very good, and, at the time, was very good value, (about 60 if I recall correctly, in 2014). But one must guard against pulling too hard when it is fully “out”, in order to ensure the hose stays well anchored, otherwise a small leak can occur.
Four Stars
Well constructed but I probably didn’t need 40m hose which makes the unit very heavy. That’s my faul
Excellent produc
Very good product which means you can take the main hose reel away when either not in use or perhaps during very cold weather. The wall fitting seemed a bit flimsy but is not – the actual brackets are solid with decent screws into the brick wall providing a strong support for the heavy reel (40m of hosepipe is heavy). Decent instructions which helped make it clear what the optimum positioning is. The pipe itself is what you would expect – hard to kink or bend inappropriately.
but can honestly say that this looks like being one of the best garden tools I've ever ...
Just started using the cart so only four stars as yet, but can honestly say that this looks like being one of the best garden tools I’ve ever bought. Tried the expanding hoses that only last a year. Getting older, so carrying full watering cans around my large-ish garden became a chore. It was fairly easy to assemble and is simple to operate. Best of all a really good deal in comparison to prices in garden centres. Recommended.
Tidy
Delighted with life now. So much easier to have a wall mounted hose. I gave it 4 stars because if you wind it (manually) too fast the hose gets swallowed up and you’ve to fish it back out and slot it back in, otherwise I love it.
Very easy to roll in and ou
After previously having a hose that you had to manually roll up this is sheer luxury. Very easy to roll in and out, use it daily to hose down muddy paws, a godsend!!
40 metre hose
Good product nice and tidy , only a minor issue a little firm when extending the hose
Very easy wall fixing via supplied bracket. Hose holder lifts off/on the bracket smoothly. All hose attachments fit security with no water drips/leaks.
The hose pulls out through via a wall mounted bracket, with no issues in any direction of pull. The hose is retracted back into the holder with the use of a wind handle. No issues, very smooth operation.
One minor niggle is at full deployment there was a kink in the hose. Recommend when retracting the hose, the Water supply is turned off at the tap, and the hose nozzle is open, allowing water to discharge on winding to aid the smooth action and minimise frost damage, if to be left out all year.
I would buy again.
Works well – only criticism is the usual one about kinks – it eventually happens to all these regular type hoses – on the plus side it is extremely robust – the newer retractable type hoses spring leaks very quickly, so will stick to this type – will look out for anti-kink regular hosing in future
This is the Mother of all hoses.
The hose pipe is strong and doesn’t bend like so many other pipes do. The unit is reasonably large, but it is compact, so it is as small as it can be.
The rewind mechanism is amazing. All in all, I think this product offers great value for money
Arrived on time and suitably packaged.
In spent a silly amount of time searching for the a good value hose reel that didn’t come with cheap rubbish hose. There are so many adverts that show a hozelock top quality hose but the descriptor says ‘colours may vary’ or in other words they will supply the cheapest hose possible.
This hose reel came with 40 meters of quality hose, a bag full of various connectors, a spray nozzle and a hose guide for fitting further down the wall. All the fixings to fit the carrier and the hose guide to the wall are supplied.
The hose came on the reel with a separate feed hose supplied loose (feed hose needed to have supplied connectors fitted by myself).
The fitting is simple (just need a 7mm masonry drill bit) and secure enough for its purpose.
I fully recommend this hose reel due to the value for money and rapid delivery.

Good long hose
It’s a good quality item. Lost one star because when you are pulling to unreel the hose, the base sometimes moves too.
Wheels back up really quickly with no having the feed ...
Wheels back up really quickly with no having the feed the hose onto the spindle which is exactly what I was after. However, you have to hold it quite firmly whilst you wheel it in as its not attached to anything so it can be helpful to have someone help untangle the hose and bring it towards you whilst you do it.

A good product – would have been nice if they had provided a paper drilling template though.
In case people are wondering it comes with the pictured spray nozzle, 2 hose end locks, and importantly a hose guide widget that you screw to the wall beneath it. Hozelock Universal Hose Guide / Runner Corner Wall Mounted 2392 .
Finally, my unit was grey and yellow, not green as pictured. Not that I’m bothered 🙂
Highly recommended
The best hose we have had – having previously had hozelock hoses. This one winds up remarkably quickly and – more importantly – does not seem to get twisted on the reel. The ability to lock the hose shut is also useful. The one thing to watch is water pressure. This hose is 40 metres long and, attached to the outside tap, does not fire the sprinkler so high into the air, needing to move it more around the garden to make sure everything is watered. However, it is possible to shorten the hose if needed. Suggest in that case unwinding the hose to its full extent and see if you need the whole 40 metres (we didn’t). Don’t do this unless you know what you are doing! Other than that, it is a superb addition to the garden and we would highly recommend it.
Bought this for my 80 yo father in law to make things simple and as easy as possible.
The 40 m length meant that there was no more issues with will it or won’t it reach places.
Being on a stand with wheels is a no brainer for ease of use and access.
Should have bought this a long time ago instead of struggling with shorter/cheaper/flimsy models.
Get this and no more hassles.
Done deal.
Very easy to assemble out if the box, just a few simple screws and you’re up and running.
Neat and very effective.
I got a bit fed up with having a hose permanently running the length of the garden, so invested in this. I really pleased with it. My garden is about 90 feet long, and it is more than long enough. It is nice to wing it back up, knowing it won’t kink, and it only takes about 25 turns of the handle.
Good product worth buying.
As previously stated,” it does what is says on the tin” easy to install and easy to use. The only slight annoyance was as usual the screws supplied were of a soft metal so had to be replaced. Other than that a very good product worth buying.

For a DIY person with little experience it was an easy installation. Looks good on the wall and the 40m length is excellent. If you have arthritus or weak hands / arms it can be a challenge to retract the full 40m but i found it easier if you de pressurise the hose before retracting.
Practical and easy to use.
Just what I was hoping for and as described. Really pleased as easy to wind and unwind.

The reel which was advertised was grey but the one l received was green which was a disappointment but we will put up with i
Good!
Seems like a good buy, not used it too much yet but looks well made, easy to set up, though if I remember the instructions weren’t all the legible but you don’t really need them.
This is my third Hozelock and although the manufacturer only gives a two year warranty.
It should be good enough for five or six years, providing you lift it off its wall mounting and take it outdoors, when it freezes.
Eventually the ratchet will fail and then it will be time to replace it.
Buying direct from the manufacturer (via Amazon) will save you a lot of money.
Having said that it is expensive, but you are buying a quality product.
Down side – It’s a sealed case, so there’s nothing that you can do by way of maintenance
and for the money you spend they could have given you a Jetgun (also a lot cheaper on Amazon).
Nice hose with everything enclosed to no untidy hose lying ...
Nice hose with everything enclosed to no untidy hose lying around. Needs to be mounted onto something sturdy as its a fair weight as you would expect with a 40m hose and it also comes with a hose guide which is handy. Happy with it although I would recommend upgrading the end nozzle to a better quality metal one.
Brilliantly effective !
I hummed and arred about this product for a while, should I get the automatic winding one or this manual.
Take my advice, but the manual one, it’s cheaper and it’s simple to use and operate. It’s been brilliant and can’t fault it at all. Will take it in for the winter so that the frost doesn’t crack the plastic insides.
Good hose reel
Good hose reel. Would have been better with 15mm hose rather than 12mm as this reduces the pressure however with the larger hose I suspect there would be a capacity problem holding the same length of hose. It would have been good to have some way to lock it to the wall bracket to make it more secure.
Best Hozelock Product Ever!
I long coveted my neighbour’s fast cart and was always willing to water their garden whilst they were on holiday. Now I have my own. These are just brilliant, especially if you have a bad back, large garden or OCD and like your hosepipe looking perfect when coiled up. Can’t recommend it enough.
Easy to install
Neat and tidy solution to hosepipe spaghetti. Easy to install. Hose kinks when it is wound out of the reel but it isn’t especially problematic. The whole mechanism sounds a bit plasticky so I’m not sure how long-lived it will be for a heavy duty cycle.
Fantastic!
This hose is the best I have ever used! It’s so easy, from putting it together (just the handle and hose fittings) to actually using it. Stays in one place whilst you pull out just enough hose for what you need, then when your done easily winds away with no kinks! Even has places on it to store the two hose ends (one that connects to the tap and the end you use) Don’t make the same mistake as me and buy a separate hose to tap connector, as you don’t need it. Everything you need is in the box!
The only hose-reel for me.
Wish we had bought this before at least 2 failed attempts with the expanding hose. This is robust and easy to wind back, just what’s needed. With a long garden it has been really difficult to find the right hose which works without too much effort, and this does exactly that. Heartily recommended well worth the money.
I have had bad experiences with the long garden hoses before
I have had bad experiences with the long garden hoses before. Once they are pulled out to their full extent it’s sometimes a nightmare getting them back on the reel. Have been using this one for some time now and it hasn’t jammed once and when its pulled out to nearly it’s full extent, to go round the front of the house, I’m not left standing with no water coming out, as the reinforcement is good and it doesn’t kink readily. I’ve finally got a good one.
Excellent Product !!!!!
All the great reviews definitely made my mind up, always read reviews when buying a product, have a 140ft garden and hose extends to the end, pulls out and rewinds effortlessly. Fed up with old hose all over patio, excellent product and no one minds watering the garden now, am going to purchase another for my parents, just wished I’d purchased years ago. Definitely recommend
wouldn't be withou
.Fabulous, this the 2nd one I have bought .!st one about 10 years ago, still going strong
It is easy to use ,doesn’t tangle ,wind the handle and it all goes back in the drum.
Even the spray end is easy to use , no more hanging on to a trigger, you can adjust the spray as required
This is a sturdy wall mounted hose unit.
It comes with all the fixings you need to fit if solidly to your house wall. It feels rock solid once it is in position – but you can easily lift the whole cable unit off should you want to store in a shed over the winter.
The hose supplied is a good quality Hozelock product which doesn’t kink!
I usually pull out all the hose I want whilst standing by the unit, and then drag it across my garden to where I want it to be. I guess you could just grab the end of the hose and set off – but I get the feeling that there could be a lot of extra strain on the roller unit if you did this, and I’m a bit risk averse in the garden hose department to be honest.
The hose winds back into the unit with no drama. Although, again for caution, I have been dragging it to the top of my lawn before pulling it in with one hand and winding with the other.
Overall I’m very happy with this unit. I ordered this by accident, if truth be told, as I originally wanted the one with ‘automatic rewind’ but pressed the wrong button!
In the end I’m happy to stick with this one, and also saved about 50 pounds by getting this model (with the same length hose).
It unravels so easily and rewinds so well
An entirely suitable and acceptable purchase. It unravels so easily and rewinds so well. It is almost a luxury that I now don’t keep falling
over my new hose as I did for the last 10 years with the old one. A really good buy.
I really like this system, installed it with no issues to our back wall as it comes with templates.
The main drum slots into a bracket about 2-3 feet above the ground, with the hose guide inline and below it.
Very easy to unroll the long hose and then use the handle to wind it back in, though I always run it back through a cloth to get rid of grass cuttings and other detritus.
Also comes with a tap kit, hose connectors and watering hose.
Looks great once put up and very neat, stylish and compact design.

REALLY GREAT PRODUCT
Up until now I had used an old hose and reel, which kept getting tangled, this product though is really great. It was easy to put on the wall (clear and precise instructions). It is a joy to use because as you wind it back, no matter how much length you have used, it lays in precisely so there is no tangled hose the next time you need it.
The above device was easy to install
The above device was easy to install,and had all the relevant installation instructions. I used longer and more substantial fixing screws for my external installation however I am sure the ones supplied would have been adequate.
Good quality hose and reel
I was a bit wary about spending out this item as i have been a bit unlucky with hose reels in the past.
This one is brilliant.
As long as you attach it firmly to a wall and use the brackets as it describes in the literature then the reeel unwinds and winds back up very easily.
I have used it with water in the pipe and pressure released and it works fine both ways.
This services my 130 foot rear garden and the front garden from the one water point.in the back garden.
Good quality hose for a change as well
Easy to use
Already had one of these for over ten years but was starting to show signs of wear so bought this tas a replacement. Easy to install and easy to unwind and rewind always keeping the hose tidy. If this lasts as long as the old will be very pleased.
For large gardens
Needed a new hose, this one is compact, 40m long, easy to wind, kink free, and is made from strong material. I recommend buying a multi spray adapter though as there isn’t one included and your roses would prefer a gentle spray instead of the jet. Bring it in in the winter.
easy bit of ki
First of all thanks Amazon for a speedy d/l order on Friday night got on Monday at 10.40 am.
this hose that I bought from amazon is the second one the first one was an Auto 20meters bought in 2010
that was ok but this one is much better I’m amazed that reading some reviews on this site saying its too hard to reel up …Rubbish !!! its much easy then tne first one I had its easier to reel up the secret is pull it all out do your cleaning (I do vans an cars my own c.v) pick up the hose pull it near the reel then reel it in Simple.less then 60 seconds
Excelle
I give this 5 stars as it was excellent value for money. Easy to fit and I am a disabled pensioner but instructions were good,just wish they would show more than pictures. Some words would have been even more helpful. I would recommend this to anyone needing a 40 meter hose. I was impressed as to how easy it was to wind it back by hand, (even my wife found it simple).
Excelle
Ordered this hose pipe as i was fed up of my untidy hose pipe that didn’t have a housing, ordered this and was absolutely delighted with the quality and and easy to install product. Delivery was fast, next day after ordering. Would recommend this hose to everyone who needs a tidy, quality product.
Value for Money
No more tangled hose in the garden. Everything you need comes in the box. Is now fitted to the back wall of our house and is easy to lift off the bracket. Winding the hose in after use is a dodle. Hozelock is a great brand anyway so getting this at this price was an added bonus. Thoroughly recommended
Grea
A very neat bit of kit. I brought one for my villa in Kefalonia and it was sent without a problem. It is neat and rolls in and out like a breeze. It has a configuration whereby you just put two large screws in the wall and it slips on. Easy to take off in the winter and store. Brought another one they are so good and great looking.
Fed up of getting the reel hose out of the shed every time I wanted to wash the car or water the garden, I thought this would be a neat solution.
Considered getting the “auto reel” version, but the articulated bracket/ arm makes the reel stick out too far when flush to the wall.
40m is a great length, as long as you turn the water of first it rewinds very smoothly. Comes with bracket for the hose to feed through an d when off is a very neat package. Worried about the weight for the bracket but a year on, still solidly on the wall
Recommend to anyone with medium/large garden .
excelle
exactly what i.v needed for years
really good value ;and was double your price at garden outlets .
delivery as always was prompt and the no delivery charge was a bonus .
ITEM was recommended by a friend .I shall look to AMAZON for the best bargains in FUTURE
THANKYOU .from mr JIM BUCK.
Excellent wall mounted hosereel
I thought this product is exactly the right solution for my garden.
Although it doesn’t self rewind there is less to go wrong.
The self layering means you can just rewind without paying too much attention.
This would suit virtually anyone with a garden of any size.
Good quality but not as smooth as I would like
It is lovely to have a hose that packs away after having hoses trailing in the garden for years. I have only used it half a dozen times and I am really hoping the winding mechanism gets easier as I find it quite stiff. I also found I had to unwind and rewind on one occasion when the hose got stuck. It is also quite noisy to wind and unwind which I wasn’t expecting but again, with use I hope this loosens up and runs more smoothly.
Exactly righ
The wall mounting was done by my son-in-law, so it is firmly in place. The 40m hose is exactly right. We find it easy to pull out, thought there is, of course, a little friction. Once finished with it is simple to put the hose away. An excellent solution to replace a mass of hose untidily lying about.
Sturdy and works well
Replaced my previous hose with this, the rolling up action is much better, being auto-guided into place, and being enclosed from the weather means that the hose doesn’t get affected by the weather when not in use, which extends the life of the hose. Comes with a corner guide to allow you to run the hose around the corner of the house without damaging the exterior on the bricks. Would recommend one of these if you have the space.
he amazing powerjet hoselock
he best bit of the hosepipe is the amazing connections it has . One does not have to close tthe tap. With its amazing closing and opening the connection is simply by easy manouvering.Also the connectors have different strengths of power water flow. Each and every bit of the hoselock is trustworthy, I love i
Fantastic, best hose eve
I have rheumatoid arthritis and cannot manage to roll my old hose pipe up so it used to lie in a mass tangle on the garden. Someone in hospital mentioned the hose lock wall hose to me and said how easy it was to turn the handle to rewind. I was very sceptical about buying one but I went ahead. It’s one of the best items I’ve got. If your thinking of getting one BUY NOW you won’t be disappointed.
Hozelock rell fits the bill
Brilliant product with the good quality associated with hozelock.
Pulls out and reels in fine and is easy to mount on the wall.
The reach seems further than the 40 m i bought in fact i thought it was 60 so that is to say it goes a long way if you haven measured the distance like me.
There is a bit of dripping from the tap end as if the fit could be better.
We shall see but for what I need it for. . . watering a new garden. . . it certainly fits the bill.
Arrived quickly and well packed, thanks, jen.
Works well
I have a long garden, an open back, so needed something of a decent length,that I could keep indoors. Even though not much to this, the instructions to put this together was wrong, and I stuck to the instructions, until this became obvious! The product is a decent size and a bit heavy, but does the job really well. Well made quality product.
Robust hose reel
A well made reel with 40m of hozelock anti-kink hose with smooth action run out through supplied roller-bracket. Screwed to the wall it provides a solid mount for the reel which winds back on to the reel with ease with a layering mechanism to ensure that the hose loads evenly without tangling. Well worth the cost.
Almost perfec
Delivery was rapid ahead of time and it was well packed.
Hopefully this will be a very useful addition to help me in the garden.
The 40m length is very helpful and the fast reel is good.
The only thing stopping me giving a 5 star rating I don’t think the actual hose is top quality and for the price I think it should be.
The first time of using it wanted to “kink” and it still wants to in the same place, so be careful on this, hopefully yours will be ok.
Update after 6 years: see the next paragraph for my original review but I thought I’d report in after 6 years regular use. It hangs on the wall 365 days a year at 900 feet up in the Scottish hills enduring the worst of British weather and it’s still going strong: the hose is still in good order and the winding mechanism spins like new – a very good investment indeed!
Can’t find any fault with this product. Its robust, eay to use and has now hung on the wall for two seasons, rain, hail, snow, direct sunshine, come to no harm and shows no sign of wear. Even the hose still looks new and it,s in and out of the housing two or three times a day in hot weather.
We have a very large garden and need a good forty meters to reach all of our hanging baskets, raised beds and so on. Rewinding our 40mtr hose on one of those two-wheel trolley hose reels from fully unwound was actually such a backbreaking chore that for long periods we’d just leave it unwound and lying around. This, of course meant that the hose was in the way of cars manoeuvring around in the yard so it really was, altogether a real pain in the backside.
Nowawadays, we simply unwind as much as we need for the job in hand and wind it back in in a jiffy. Even winding it in from fully extended takes no time and hardly any effort at all. This has totally transformed the business of watering plants and washing cars and, importantly, keeping the place tidy.
If you need a long hose, get one of these, it’ll change your attitude to watering things from a chore to a pleasure.
Does what is expected
Comes with all the fittings and mounting brackets for installation. Mounting instructions provided are rather basic giving dimensions for mounting bracket height from ground but not spacing of bracket holes. Using the bracket as a template is not ideal.
Hose reel works well and using the provided hose guide plus others for wall corners allows the hose to reel out easily over the full 40 metre length. Releasing the water pressure on the hose makes reeling in easier.
Better than I thought it would be
Arrived one week earlier than originally planned – which was good. After checking that all parts were in the box it was fixed on the wall per instructions in about 80 minutes (quicker for someone with better DIY skills). We have used on a number of occasions since and all works fine as intended. Reeling in is so easy and the tap area can now be kept tidy and trip free.
Wall mounted hose reel
This is a very well made product. I bought this one as an exact replacement for one which I had bought many years ago and used a lot. It is extremely easy to pull out the hose and to rewind it. The hoselock connectors enable you can remove the sprayer attachment and connect it to a patio cleaner. The long hose is very convenient.
Keeps the garden tidy
This hose reel avoids having tangled hose all around the garden. It is easy to pull the hose out and has a winder to pull it back in again. One slight negative is that the hose reel can slide when you are pulling the hose out, but it does not if you are less exuberant. Vey good piece of effort saving equipment.
The Best!
What a great item. So easy in every way to use, my wife finds it well within her ability to operate. (I am disabled). Even winds round conservatory with no sticking. I upgraded the tap fitting and the spray gun, which made it even easier. I do advise leaving the gun “open” when finished this makes it easier to rewind, The water drains out as you wind in. I am amazed at the price, found nothing as cheap as this offer. Well done Amazon!
Great wall mountable hose ki
Bought this to hang on the outside wall. All fittings suitable for the job and hangs well, Solid hose that doesn’t tangle and is good enough to power a pressure washer without issue. Treat yourself to a new spray head as the one that comes with it is a bit old school but still works ok.
Fantastic value
This hose is the best purchase ever. Its price is less than half of anywhere else you would look. It is a great length. Our outdoor tap is at the rear of the property but this hose goes all the way around with more to spare. Its tidy as it is enclosed in its own case which is wall mounted. It doesn’t kik. I would highly recommend to anyone.
he best garden hose I've ever used
Because this reel is solid and a reasonable weight it doesn’t fall over when you pull the hose out. The easy-rewind mechanism is wickedly good. The hose does not kink and is long enough to reach to the front of my house. The hose nozzle works well and does not leak – so the garden tap can be left on for convenience.
A good product at the right price!
Best price I found and was delivered quickly. Good fitting instructions, rear bracket a little flimsy but strengthens once screwed in place. Water pressure is good even without unreeling any hose, rewind action is very good and doesn’t take to much effort. I would recommend marking the hose with a marker pen to show the maximum reel out position saves damaging the hose reel mechanism.
hozelock 40m fast reel
ice product,glad i purchased this item,however when fitting it back to to wall make sure that when you connect the hose from the main water supply to the reel that this is complete with a rubber ferrel or water will leak down the back of the reel, mine was missing fortunately i had a spare once this was fitted all was fine
Should have bought this years ago!
After years of connecting a hose to the kitchen tap and running it through the hallway to the front of the house to wash my car I decided to get an outside tap fitted along with a wall mounted hose. I went for this one and I’m so glad I did. It’s simple to attach to the wall and extremely easy to wind back in.
If you do need to get around corners I would recommend purchasing another one of the hose guides.
THIRD TIME LUCKY
TIME WILL TELL ON QUALITY BUT GOOD MAKE SO CANNOT SEE THERE BEING ANY ISSUES. HOWEVER VERY HAPPY WITH QUICK DELIVERY AFTER BEING LET DOWN WITH TWO NOT SO HONEST AND RELIABLE SELLERS.
HUBBY HAS PUT STRAIGHT UP TODAY AND HAPPY WITH IT SO FAR.
I FOUND IT A LITTLE STIFF TURNING THE HANDLE BUT HUBBY SAYS THATS JUST ME.
Excellent, not stiff as per other reviews
The reviews talking about the stiffness of this product were not true in my eyes. You do need to use some force to pull it out but no more than expected. Dead easy to wind in. All the Hoselock connections, a tap connection and even a simple sprayer are included.
No problems installing either. Just a couple of rawl plugs, screw in the bracket and then sit the reel onto the bracket. You can remove the reel from the bracket by just lifting it up.
Dead easy to install and use. Top notch product.
Easy access to hose
I bought this for my husband. The water tap is in our back garden and he washes the car in the front of the house. When he used the old hose wheel he would unwind it fully and there would be loads of spare hose all tangled up in the garden. Now he uses just what he needs and no tangled mess or kinks in the hose. With it being wall mounted it takes half the time to unwind and then rewind compared to our old manual hose wheel. Love it…
excellent purchase
works perfectly. got it on a really good deal too. before purchase i was worried about rewinding the hose and tangling. well folks not to worry coz it has an internal system which stops any tangling. i also read its not easy rewinding if u pull all of the hose out, well once agian dont worry coz i live in a flat i always pull it out fully and rewinding is not hectic at all. for best result get some one to release the hose in a staright line while you rewind.
No effort required!
The title says it all – need the hose for 5 minutes? Just pull out as much as you need then wind it back up once complete with total ease! The reel action requires no effort to extend or retract and the water pressure isn’t affected if you only partially extend the hose.
The supplied hose and fittings are all excellent quality, as is the bracket to mount the reel and the hose guide.
Simple and very effective
Excellent item..TERRIBLE DELIVERY
After ordering this item on July 26 and selecting Prime service, it is now 31st July and I have yet to take delivery of the item. Apparently, HDNL (the delivery service that Amazon chose to use for a Prime Delivery)can not find my house !. I live 50 feet from a main High Street in Billericay. The HDNL people have tried to find my house for 3 consecutive days without contacting me to get directions. No other delivery company has ever had a problem finding my house. GPS is a standard for every delivery company EXCEPT HDNL which state that their drivers don’t have GPS systems. Finally have gotten through to HDNL and am scheduled to receive product today. Its a wonder they find ANYONE’s house!!! Very dissatisfied with Amazon on this.
By the way, the product is fantastic. Am replacing a much older model with this one after checking it out at a neighbour’s house.
Wat-er useful item!
Quickly received and easily mounted. Not having a lot of use at the moment – have a look at the weather forecast! – however during a trial run I was impressed with the length of the hose, it covered every corner of my largish garden with ease, non-kinking and the simple turning of the handle to recover the hose after use.
Watering made easy!
Can now use my new hose-pipe fully dressed, hair imaculate and ready for any unannounced caller! It takes no time to water garden, pack it away in its enclosed holder and is ready for use at any moment. Even my car has benefitted enormously although it would help if someone could think of adding the polish to the tap water. That really would be fantastic!!Buying the extra length is very important.
As always, I read a lot before I buy.
This item is brilliant, the hose whether attached to the supply or not, is light and easy to reel or un-reel, it doesn’t tangle.
The wall attachment for reeling out in all directions lives up to its description, it does go all ways.
The lock, which stops the hose being unreeled by children is a treat to have, do I have to say why?
I am not disagreeing with people who experience different problems with this item, but all I can say is. “Why I didn’t buy it before I just don’t know”.
If I find things not going OK with time and use, plus the winter is coming, I’ll let you know.
When my Hozelock arrived i was so excited to get going after struggling with tangled heavy hoses in the past. It was easy to put together and the instructions were adequate. However on turning on the water, it quickly became clear that there was water shooting everywhere inside and out of the green barrel. I contacted Amazon who were excellent at offering a refund. I also contacted Hozelock service center who again were also excellent at responding. It turned out that there were 2 washers missing which hozelock promptly sent to me in the post. Once I could use the hose, I have nothing bad to say about it. The hosepipe is thinner to my normal one and therefore so much easier to manoeuvre about (I’m female!) and winding it up is a doddle. I particularly like the fact that I can put the whole unit in the garage if I want to. The only thing i wasn’t so keen on was the spray attachment that comes with it. It’s a bit basic and i still haven’t worked out fully how it works. I would have preferred a simple spray gun attachment. And get the 40m if you have a large garden.
Hoselock 40mtr Wall Mounted Fast Reel
This hose reel is very easy to use and reels in with hardly any effort. I am not very big and can manage it with no problem. My husband fitted it to the wall but used longer screws than the ones supplied. I was worried it would look to big and bulky on the back of the house but it actually looks okay and is quite neat. We are very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone.
UPDATE-18 May 2014. Stored Hoselock away in garage for the winter. Got it out today and it has stopped reeling back in. Very disappointed. It has ended up being a VERY expensive hosepipe, only having been used in the summer months. expected better workmanship from Hoselock so I would now say to anyone SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY. Shame on you Hoselock for using inferior components.
Does the job perfectly
Arrived quickly on the specified day. Well designed, making it easy to use in a largish garden. The hose is guided by rollers set underneath the hose box making it run smoothly. Easy to reel back in using the large handle on the side. Miles better than the free standing hose reel I was using before. Wish I’d bought one years ago!
Does the job!!
Delivered on time and all in order, very easy to fit to the wall and works a it should. Great if you need a long hose pipe for the garden and drive. It is as expected a bit bulky if you mount it on the wall but it can be removed with ease should the need arise. Good product.
Ease of use and Convenience Personified
I purchased this new reel as last year we got ourselves a Cocker Spaniel puppy and whilst the house has survived alas my old hose is now in three pieces ! Hence a need for a new reel encased to remove temptation although he’s happy to just chase balls now.
It arrived in super fast time as usual with Amazon and is very easy to setup. This consists of putting the handle on the outside lever – just the green piece shown in the photo, as well as the standard conectors to the hose supplied. Our outside tap has a threaded connector fitted and I understand this is common these days. You do need to remove a screw to unlock the mechanism which you can possibly see in the bottom left corner of the case, and thereby allow the hose to be pulled out.
The hose itself is so easy to pull out manually, and the extra length very handy as we have 120 feet of garden and the pond is at the end and occasionally needs topping up. Once finished you can gently wind back the hose and it is a easy smooth one way action. Probably best to turn off the water at this stage but so far we have had no tangles whatsoever. I leave the case out but will keep in the shed over the winter months to avoid frost damage – not unexpected given last winter. Well recommended.
Product good, delivery disappointing
A good product which does the job as advertised.
However, delivery on this occasion was not so good. Unusually I paid the extra to have first class delivery but because the chosen courier on this occasion demanded a signature (and didn’t leave a card), in the end it arrived at the normal free delivery time – and after the next item I ordered!
This Hozelock fastreel certainly reduces the back breaking task of winding the hose up at the end of watering. I used to have a reel on the floor and it was always getting caught up and I got filthy!
This is so much better and although others feel that you get your exercise when winding it up I don’t find it an issue at all.
However, what I do find more of a challenge is getting the hose out to the required length in the first place! This does require quite a lot of exertion and isn’t easy. Defintely remember to disconnect from the tap before doing this, which makes it a bit easier. I also recommend taking the connection off the watering end whilst pulling it out and winding it back up to save it banging along the ground and potentially getting damaged.
Overall though very pleased with this and would definitely recommend.
Best purchase in ages
Fantastic hose pipe. Very easy to attatch to the wall and all instructions simple to understand. Hose pipe very easy to unreel and reel back up. My garden is much more tidy now my old pipe isnt lying on the floor and my plants get watered every evening with ease. Would recomend this hosepipe to anybody.
I’ve just bought this hose as our other hozelock is too short for our new garden (so this review is based on just a single use). The retraction mechanism seems to work well. As a 40m hose, the reel is larger and heavier than a shorter hose, as you would expect. As the reel unwinds it becomes lighter, and near the end of the hose’s extension the reel needs holding to prevent it sliding – not a fault per se, but perhaps worth bearing in mind if you are intending using it at full length frequently. The design is clever, but still leaves the issue of water draining from the end in storage after use – hence 4 stars.
No more kinks!
This hose was easy to fit on the wall, and got it out of the way of the path. I used it recently on the car. It was so easy to use, and did the job great. Makes me wonder why we never got it before.
I am not very technical-minded, so my husband checked out the dimensions of the hose etc. before I bought it, and it was a winner. Its not too expensive either. Thats what originally made me think it wasn’t any good, but happily it is good in all aspects!
