Might have given it 5 Stars if it was complete with a universal tap connector other than the specific connector provided.The one shown in the demo and included is only suitable for one type of domestic tap.Having said that I separately purchased a connector to suit my type of tap which was made by hoselock but found that difficult to keep attached so no end up with it being manually held in position by my wife while I operate the hose!!
For.separate comment on the additional connector I bought see separate review
A nice compact hose pipe, not for a large garden as would take you hours to do the watering. You can use either the grey hose pipe or the shorter yellow hose pipe or both together for a little longer. 1 found the connection ok and no leaks at the moment anyway.it does the job if you have a small garden with the attached rose giving varies water distribution.
Very happy with this hose. Easy to use, lightweight & easy to roll back up. Only slight complaint is it leaks slightly in the middle where the hose attaches to the reel. Also the cable ties attached for shipping were very difficult to remove as overtightened. But great produc
Well made bit of kit. Lightweight to carry around and rewinds easily. Hose is narrow and does not kink when rewinding onto reel. Gun has several settings. Perfect for small gardens
Its worth the money
The hose diameter is indeed small – so water pressure is not brilliant. However, I found it adequate for watering our small front garden and for washing the car. The connectors accept any Hozelock (and compatible) accessories including a car washing brush. I have had no issues with leaks or connectors popping off.
The whole thing is light, very compact and easy to store. It’s ideal for a small garden but for anything larger where a good length spray is required, go for a reel with a normal size (1/2″) hose.
The kit is not particularly cheap however, I took advantage of the current Amazon interest free (6.50pm for 5 months) offer.
UPDATE –
Surprisingly, I have found that the limiting factor for water flow is actually the supplied Hozelock spray gun! Fitting a Spear & Jackson spray head greatly improved spray strength. It’s still not as good as a full-sized hose but, for my purposes, it’s more than adequate…..
This is a good hose – ideal for smaller garden but not as powerful as it could be. However it does the job well, it’s lightweight, portable easy to use and store. Arrived with a faulty connector – contacted Amazon who arrange for a part refund to cover replacement fitting. When the replacement arrived that was faulty as well, so another was sent out which arrived the next day. Good customer service and all appears to be working fine now. Would I buy another – if this one lasts then
Probably
Only 10m length but perfect for a small area. In may case, I don’t want be lugging 30m of hose around if I only need 10m. Easy to use and tidies away nicely after use. Would recommend.
Flow is a bit restricted but I bought it because I wanted the smallest available hose reel so it would fit in a small cupboard and it does that perfectly. Standard Hozelock quality, very good.
Comes with auto shutoff connectors on both ends so the hose is stored full of water and cannot drain easily, not really an issue most of the time but might be a bad idea to store this outside in the winter.
