Outstanding pice of ki
What did we put up with before this? Tangles, kinks and massive winding up issues! This is simply brilliant! 5 year guarantee, so no kit failure issues and everyone enjoys using the hose now.
I’m buying another one for the chicken paddock and duck pond!
One word of caution, The provided screws and rail plugs weren’t man enough for the job. This is a heavy unit (17.12kg) and definitely a 2 person fixing job, and much larger fixing plugs and screws are required for brick wall installation (6cm at least).

So easy
I am sp pleased I purchased this product. It is so easy to use. I especially like the rewind feature.
he suppled screws for holding it onto the wall are not nearly big enough
hese are good I own one already, and have owned it for a number of years,But for something that weighs 17kg empty before water is in the pipe, then being pulled out and in and moving around on its mount.The screws are nt nearly strongly enough!,they would be highly unlikely to even get to the end of the warranty period!, the original one is mounted on a steel wall mount which i made ( engineer/welder), this one is undergoing a rethink before it is fitted
The screws supplied are useless - soft and substandard
Had to throw screws away and replace with steel ones
Easy to use
Easy to use and comfortably waters both back and front gardens although find it rather heavy
it is easy to use and keeps the hose tidy.
I was fed up with my old hose kinking and having to walk back to sort it out. Also the hassle of winding it in and having to twist it every now and agin so that it coiled properly. The Auto Reel solves all of those problems. You pull out the amount of hose you need and then let the hose lock itself. You can even manually lock it if you wish. You can then manoeuvre the hose to where you want to go. When finished watering you return to the hose unit and by pulling on the hose gently it then releases the locking mechanism and rewinds itself. It is important to control the rewind with your fingers as otherwise it would rewind too quickly and damage itself.

very good produc
Really good product.Very easy to use. Much better than my previous product.
Worth the money
Amazing quality , really robust and easy to use , I like the one pull and retract action of the hose
Absolutely perfect hose reel
This is an excellent piece of kit, it’s easy to fit, and with it being auto rewinding it’s just perfect for any chore around the garden/ driveway.
Garden Hose
The product was exactly as expected and arrived in good time and In tacked.
Great purchase from a good make
Great product – the auto reel works great – just make sure when it rewinds it’s at a draft pace and there are no kinks in the hose – it is a sturdy hose so kinks are less likely to happen.
Sturdy easy to use
Excellent product, reaches from my back garden to the front with ease. Sturdy.
Can’t go wrong
Great bit of kit, sturdy and well built. Hozelock quality like you’d expec
Amazing hosepipe
Arrived fast .well packaged.
Easy to fit looks great on wall not too big or bulky compact and neat looking.
Works a treat auto rewind amazing be careful and walk it back to rewind
It’s locks at any length required just a simple tug at length and it locks
I have mine next to tap so convenient for watering plants .
Washing down garden and all round 100% happy with my purchase .
I’d certainly recommend this seller and products
Wonderful hose
Does what it says on the tin marvellous no tangled hose I love it!!
Really good product, but the screws are not strong enough to hold the unit on the wall.
The unit is quite big. This was working very well until the attachment came off the wall and the unit fell. Now re-installed with longer screws and fittings. Good length of hose, does not leak and comes with a fair amount of add-ons. The wind mechanisms works as it should even after one year’s use. Overall recommended.
Transformed hosepipe tangleme
So far so good! Not cheap but it is excellent. Love the retractable hose. Works really well.
Value for money
This product is great we no longer have to join pcs of pipe together. Easy to pull out and return.
Excellent storage of hosepipe
Arrived promptly and easy to assemble. It does the job brilliantly. No more messing about winding hosepipe in manually. It’s worth mentioning that it is quite heavy so really important to mount it securely to the wall.
Excellent produc
Excellent product. I love the auto reel. It makes easy for me to keep my garden tidy always. After watering, all I have to do is give a little pull, and the auto reel does the rest. Easy to install on the wall, very steady after installation. I’m really happy with the purchase
Great Hose
Very happy with my purchase, several members of my family and friends has since purchased one. Everyone who sees it has hose envy
Good hose
Great hose go’s full length garden no problem with rewind
Great Hose
Strong and great quality hose. Easy to pull out to the length needed and easy to retract. I recommend it!
Easy to use
I use it for watering my tubs, the garden, filling up the pond. Easy to pull out and rerolls itself quickly to pack away. Very pleased with this product.
poor fitting ki
Very impressed with the hosepipe,was a bit sceptical that 40m of pipe could auto rewind but it does! Watch your fingers at the last bit because that ball at the end can nip you. The tail of pipe is for you to fit so if it is too short (which it was) you can just customise your own. The connectors supplied are the old style ones which seems a bit tight for the price of the product. No leaks yes and wife is very happy. The Hozelock Youtube video made it look dead easy to fit so I broke my own rule and used the supplied fitting kit. The screws were too tight for the plugs so when I managed to get them out found slightly narrower ones in my man cave. With hindsight should have used my own plugs and some no8 Hex screws. The screws supplied were twice the length of the supplied plugs which is daft.Got there in the end.

Makes watering a much easier task.
This is the second Hozelock auto reel we have purchased, they make watering, especially a large garden, a much easier and quicker task.
Top drawer hose
Works really well…easy to install, hose can be pulled out easily, no kinks at all, glides back in automatically, no handles, twists or snags….great product, recommend
love i
great piece of equipment. does the job great came very quickly
Installatio
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.
Great produc
would recommend getting different screws with stronger raw plugs and thicker screws, the ones the come with it look incredibly small for something that’s over 15kg, but had it outside for nearly a month now and has been amazing the auto reel is amazing works very well on our Karcher jet washer, would definitely recommend this product but just do not use the screws or the raw plugs provided
hope this helps
Replaced 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.
Excellent after sales service
Bought this hose reel four years ago and last week the rewind spring failed. I contacted Hozelock to ascertain that I did have a five year warranty on this item and yes, I did. They very quickly assessed what the issue was , asked for a copy of my invoice and arranged dispatch of a new one, which arrived today. Very quick, rapid email responses. I can not fault their after sales service. All I had to do was provide a photograph proving that I had cut the hose off the old reel ( It is impossible to repair the spring as it is highly tensioned and Hozelock do not supply parts or even encourage dismantling) thus rendering it nigh on impossible to perform a repair and that was it. Wish I could get the same results from some other companies!

All connections and wall fixings included, but secretly stashed!
Great hose, very long length, take note…it’s a VERY big reel!
Don’t be a donkey like me, the hose connectors were not inside the box, so I thought you must have to order them separately…I bought a hose connection pack and when I prized of the cover to connect the hose to the tap, there was a pack of connectors and a pack of wall fixings!
Great bit off kit though

Wish I bought one years ago!
Fantastically easy to set up – plenty of adjustment in the bracket holes so you get a really good level fitting. Very neat and compact. We have a fairly large garden which needs the 40m length of hose and this has just taken all the utter pain away from the last hose we used! The re-coil is superb and layers the pipe perfectly. Really good solid piece of kit- can highly recommend. Would suggest making sure the hose is relatively clean before re-coiling as dirt and grit could affect the recoil mechanism over several years of use but having said that may not be a problem at all! Overall – really pleased with this purchase.
OK but was missing a seal
I assembled it and it showered water from all the wrong places, on investigation there appeared to be a seal missing. Contacted Hozelock who posted a single…yes single o ring to fix it. Did the job and I’m glad I bought from them so they could send out a spare part.
A great improvement on its predecesso
The product has been improved since an equivalent bought about 8 years ago. The improvements make the reel much easier to use and are a significant enhaceme
Nice and easy.
Fast easy and simple. Mounting like plug and play. Easy to use tidy look. Got the 40m edition and it absolutely reaches everywhere
Excelle
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 practical
Due to a shoulder injury, I was unable to use my previous manually wound hose reel. I therefore installed the Hozelock Auto Reel although I was dubious that it could cope with a full 40 meters of hose.
I needn’t have worried, once mounted the reel handled any length of hose and happily rewound the full length.
Easy to use
Relatively easy to assemble (ideally need two people as it’s quite large). Works well, reels itself back in nicely. So far so good!
Long and strong!
40m…. its a long hose and it does what it says! Very happy, i can reach the cars all the way around the house
Great products from Hozelock
I think the Hozelock products are great this one has replaced a shorter one that I have had for over 25 years and still going strong.
Supplied wall-mounting screws not up to scratch but great otherwise.
Followed the installation instructions explicitly. The screws provided aren’t up to the job though… easily rounded off going in and were then so stuck they were rounded off trying to extract. Now stuck with two screws not quite securing the wall bracket 100% to the wall and no way to either tighten or extract them.
The hose itself though, works great!
Best eve
This was a replacement for our previous one. Very necessary with a long garden and the veggie patch needing watering often. We are on our 70s so an automatic rewind hose is an essential. Best thing eve
Good but not perfec
Wall fixings are difficult to make. Its necessary to be very accurate in positioning the holes for the attachment screws. There is no play in the fixing holes so in my case I could not insert the 4th screw fully. However the attachment seems to be sound and has not given any concern.
The unit design is good and there were no leaks when the water was turned on. Hose pulls out well and retracts properly but the ratchet that holds the hose in the extended position does not function well. I have found it difficult to make it work and have to pull out a few feet several times before the hose stays out in the extended position. Worth 4 stars overall.

Love it, been moaning for ages about hose pipe so bought this one which goes fully to end of garden/house, retracts easily and so far perfect. Very heavy on assembly so might need two people.
Great product, robust and easy to install
Easily covers the front and back gardens, easy recoil when putting away. Very easy to mount on the wall, the swivel action allows the housing to pushed against the wall so saving on space
Very good hose uni
I bought this to replace an old 30 meter hose that wasn’t long enough and was causing me problems. The only problems with assembly were that it was incredibly difficult to remove the old Hoselock hosepipe auto reel from the wall and no-one in my household would help me! It is quite a big unit to handle on your own and also it is difficult to line up the horizontals and verticles against brickwork. Now it is up the hose runs very smoothly and there are no leakages from the tap. I am delighted with it.

Water, water, anywhere!
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.
Easy to use
Difficult to put on the wall as you have to screw it in at an angle but once it is up its brilliant.
Brillia
This is my third purchase of this product. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and this is easily the best hose reel on the marke
Works well but take care...
This self retracting hose works well, with the hose auto rewinding without tangles. This 40 metre one comes in the same LARGE casing as the 30 metre and can be found at similar or lower price. We have a 20 metre one still working well after several years.
It is heavy so needs to be fixed well to a solid wall.
The first delivered one leaked inside the drum and was exchanged. Should this occur, don’t attempt to dismantle and fix yourself; the retractor spring stores a lot of energy which when released would likely cause injury!
Hozelock Auto Reel
Mmmmm. This is my second one. The first I had to send back as it leaked from inside which I only found out when I had fixed it to the wall. You cannot fix this problem without taking it to a speacialist so I returned it and got a replacement. So, I had to take it down again, re box it and return. The return I did by collection which was very good and the replacement item came the next day. VG. After having to refix the new one to the wall it worked fine. Shame about the hiccup!!!!
Love i
Love this!! So easy to use and to rewind, Wish is had this when it first came out instead of wasting money in cheaper rubbish hosses. It is heavy but once on the wall no need to worry about that.
Easy to use and always ready.
Very easy to use but not enough tension on the recoil. Also the spay nozzle tends to drip a bit when off but the tap is left on. Overall I’m pleased with it. It’s on the wall and long enough to reach everywhere in the garden.
It works well
So far so good. Glad it reaches to the 4 corners of my garden.
Early days
It seems to work really well and we’re very happy not to have a long and twisted hose snagging on pots and posts but it’s very early days. Ask me in five years and we’ll see if it’s still working.
The Rolls Royce of Auto Reels
I’ve had a Hoselock before, so I knew the quality and wasn’t disappointed. Does what it does simply and without fuss. Easy enough to mount with a drill and a screwdriver.
I would recommend this produc
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.
Great product.
Great all around except the Hozelock package comes with screws to mount the hoses.
For the weight when in use, the screws are not long enough. After mounting I’ve had to remount the Hozelock with longer screws.
I didn’t think they were long enough, but presumed the suppliers knew what they were doing. I should have gone with my intuition and swopped out the screws for longer ones in the beginning.
good price and produc
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.
All the reach you’re likely to need for a reasonably sized garden.
It’s a great hose as we have front and side of house beds and used to have to attach a second hose for watering. Just make sure you have someone strong enough to lift it into place and attach it to the wall, then you’re fine.
This is the third version of this we have bought. They do get a lot of use but eventually the auto wind goes, leaks develop etc. The fixing screws are a bit flimsy for the weight of the product that has to swing, so much so that I would recommend you use bigger screws and only fix it to a very hard wall. I fixed it to internal blocks and it came out after a day. A previous one lasted longer before the same problem. The hose is still useable without the wall fixing but more awkward. I shall not buy a wall-fixed one again. The weight and swing does put a lot of pressure on the wall fixing. All-in-all, a decent product, though all hose lock products ar3 on the expensive side.

No more coiling up hoses!
I didn’t find fitting this hose reel too difficult. The 40m version is quite big so make sure you have sufficient room for it to swing around. The spring inside that coils the hose up is strong but if you accidentally let go of the hose it willtake up about 20cms and then stop so there is no danger of hands getting trapped in the machine. I always pull out all the hose I need for the whole garden before I start watering (seems obvious). I stretch the hose out when I’m ready for it to coil up this way it has a nice clean run to the machine. Make sure you fit the one way valve on the reel spray nozzle end so when you remove the nozzle it doesn’t spray over you and obviously turn the tap off before removing any bits.
YES I would definately buy this again!
Brilliant concep
I would have rated this item as 5-star but for the fact that the first one received leaked water from inside.
There is no way to find where the leak is coming from as it is a sealed unit.
Replaced very promptly and this unit works perfectly. Rewind is really easy, saving energy.

Our best purchase this year!
My husband and I are both the wrong side of 75, so we decided that we deserved a new and convenient hosepipe.
We are delighted with our purchase, which may be on the expensive side for a hosepipe but it’s worth every penny!
No more getting it wrapped around our legs and tripping over it and no more hard work, winding it up again. The hosepipe itself does not kink and rewinds smoothly into the housing. The additional corner bracket we purchased
to guide it round the side of the house is also brilliant because it stops the hose getting stuck. Absolutely brilliant!

Reely Good Hose
Purchased for my dad who grew tired of winding the hose back up, this is perfect as it does it automatically, product is good quality and durable.
A gardener’s dream 😍
A gardener’s dream Our hose used to lay on the lawn as I could not be bothered to wind it back by hand which was both time consuming & un inconvenient to put it away. Now, it takes seconds & it’s so easy
Great hose reel and good value for money
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.
Best Buy
I bought this system as my garden is very big and I need to use the reel in three different directions. I have used all 50 meters so I was well impressed when, after finishing the watering, on a single ‘tug’ the whole hose length Rapidly rewound on its own!
Brilliant product.
Great produc
Great product…does exactly as it says on the box. Great sturdy reel holder, the hose pulls out easily and retracts very fast..swings from left to right with ease considering the size…I’m extremely pleased with this item !!
( arrived without any packaging just a label on the actual box…beware if it is a gift )
Just the job
Only problem was it was very heavy , so we needed help to install it to the wall. It swivels and retracts very well and removes the need to rewind when finished,Quite expensive but worth the money
Easy to now water my garde
One of the best thing about this product is that it dosn’t get tangled up like my previous hose, and is very easy to rewind. I should have bought it earlier would have saved a lot of work. A very good buy.
Every garden should have one
It is easy to use and does not kink. Lovely hose pipe , would buy another. When you retract the hose guide it back in and use a cloth to wipe it as it reels in.
Worth buying
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.
Crap delivery good product. Wickes is cheaper on line !
Ups rubbish delivery. Left it outside front door for at least 4 hours Till i came home. No notification. No one in. They have then stated on tracking sytem it was signed for !!!.
Box also damage. Sorry not impressed. Item good though
Very heavy
I use this quite a lot but find it very heavy to drag hose out apart from that it’s fine
Think twice before purchase!
Purchased this 40m Hozelock auto retractable hose back in November 2018 & have got to say was initially very please with both the ease of fitting along with the ease that it performed. Twelve months later, I started to experience the odd rewind issue but nothing too dramatic! However, now June 2020 less than 2 years old it appears to have totally jammed up. Be interested to see how Amazon responds!
Ease of use
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.
Perfecetly fine - Jsut wished it was another colou
As described. I would be ready to pay double if someone was to make it green so that it does not stand out in the garden, particularly that yellow.. but I guess that will never happen. It’s a real eyesore as it’s quite big. The grey part is actually OK so I am just trying to find ways to cover the yellow parts and googling paint for plastic…
Great product!
I purchased this for my dad a year ago now and he’s loved how easy watering his garden has become. It wasn’t the easiest thing to install but ever since its been up and swinging its been faultless.
After hearing such rave reviews from dad, I plan to purchase one of these as soon as they’re back in stock!
A beast of a hose reel. In many ways.
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)
Lovely product from Hozelock
Love it now it’s done. The instructions seemed a bit out of sequence. I would show the picture of removing key parts at the beginning so when you are checking the contents fist you see that the majority are inside the unit.
Seems ok
As described , will see how it stands up to the test of time ,hence 4 stars.
Accessories are under side cove
Careful removing side cover to access accessories – easy to stress the clips. Use a wide flat bladed screwdriver. Get something solid to support weight of the reel while checking where and at what height to mount bracket. Screws supplied look too small but work fine if use correct drill bit for rawl plug. In use, ensure that you run hosepipe through a damp cloth so that dirt is not taken into the reef mechanism.
An excellent piece of garden equipment making hose rewinding so easy. Hose is quite narrow compared with normal hoses to fit 40 m in reel. Also, like all hoses, it will still kink if bent too tightly or loops.
Lovely hose
Lovely product, retracts back into the holder “reely” smooth 🙂
However the fixing screws were a little weak. I managed to break the heads off 2!
A great product for gardeners with mobility issues.
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.
It does the job well
A very good product, although quite heavy to install, perhaps needing two people to fit it to a wall
Great product but think carefully about mounting positio
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).
If you’re on the fence about whether to get one of these hose systems – like I was – rest easy and just take the plunge.
YES you could get a faulty one like some reviewers have said – there’s always a chance of that – but get it replaced if it turns up faulty! It’s definitely not going to be the norm for a brand like this that isn’t a bargain basement item from a cheap store!
These are one of those things you never knew you needed until you get one. My garden like many is long and thin. From the house – where the water is – to the drive for the cars is 30meters and in the past using a manual one to rewind that much hose was a right pain and you’d never be able to wind it properly onto the hose reel.
with this only good 3 foot pull until you hear a click and then just start walking to the reel letting it do it’s work as you go and re coil it without fuss or hassle.
I’ve been doing it the hard way for 25 years and the first thing i said was “why didn’t I get one of these sooner!”
