I was looking to get a hose whether self winder or this where its manual wound back, it was extremely easy to set it up as you have to fit the fittings all provided, no leaks and looks great imo, I placed it up higher than some as with back injury I can’t bend so needed something like this to have easy use.
I’ve used it now 5 times and I remove from the wall after use and place in the shed as the side of house isn’t secure,its also surprisingly light and easily removed, I’ve used it along with a Karcher K4, ive cleaned the patio, side walk way and house front, where the hose has worked perfectly and when windingback in leaving the water on makes it a dream to wind back and once you just keep an eye on where it’s winding inside the adjuster you move as you wind and no issues whatsoever…
I’ve had hozelock hoses previous and never had any issues other than my 2 labs back then ate the whole winder/hose reel which was the one on wheels. One is still in use I bought in my fathers near 20 years ago.
The pain on the window sill in the photo has since been stripped using the pressure washer…..
Very happy customer and I hope this does me well.
Didn’t take me long to put it together and put on the wall . With the length I ordered it goes to the front garden . It is easy to unwind and just as easy to wind back in ,I love i
This has been a great addition when needing a hose. All is tidied away until you need it. Just be aware that the hose carriage can become detached from its axle if the spring clip lets go. Use a small (width) cable tie between the two arches of the clamp.
Great product that does a great job. I noticed a few comments about some people having issues with the hose jamming inside. I have used this product a lot so far and I find that keeping the water on from the tap but turned off at the nozzle while you wind it in then turn off at the tap leads no such issues (for me at least)
The unit required quite an amount of self assembly with useless instructions , but the biggest problem was that the main body of the hose reel had not been assembled properly at the factory , which prevented the little yellow slider from sliding properly preventing the hose from winding properly on the drum. Had to disassemble the main body to fix which was very difficult due to the screws being recessed several inches inside the body . Also when installing, the small rawlplugs were insufficient to hold the reel onto the wall so fitted it to a wooden plate and screwed that to the wall with more substantial rawlplugs.
Some advice I can give to others purchasing this product:
Once assembled fill the hosepipe with water before trying to wind it on the reel, this prevents kinking the hose.
Install the handle on the side you want it once it is mounted as it cannot be changed once installed.
There is an arrow indicating which way to turn the reel to wind it in, if it feels difficult to turn stop you are probably winding it the wrong way.
I suggest checking quickly how it will look once mounted, then you can see also if hose will be wound clockwise or anti clockwise to reel it in depending which side you install the handle, also check distance from the tap and that it does not block your way once mounted.
If you read the instructions carefully it does all work, it comes supplied with 25m of hose although you will need to cut off a small piece to reach from the tap to where you mount it, unless you have an extra piece lying around for this purpose.
I have installed and mounted it and it works as described, the great thing is that come winter I can just unclip it from its mounting and pack it away for storage until next Summer.
