Some reviews stated that it took them 15-20 minutes to assemble this even with reading the instructions it took me less than 5 minutes to assemble it without reading the instructions
Easy to assemble and to fit the hose. Instructions could be clearer as to when you fit the handle and hose connector. i.e.After fitting the reel to the frame.
Works well, I’m happy.
I am looking for a hose reel for my gardening hose which is used to handwash my car. The reel is lightweight, exactly what I have in mind. I am very pleased. Not cheap but I am sure it will last for at least 10 years… I hope?
The good news is it doesn’t leak and it works great to different pipes the not so great news is you need to assemble it yourself so it needs some force to make all the parts to click together overall a good value for money and good plastic components
Ive just ordered the brackets so that I can wall mount it.
All in all I’m happy with my purchase but cannot yet comment on durability as it’s early days with the product.
Edited to add, Ive bought and fitted the wall amounting kit for this. Opted to fit it differently in the reel rests fully on the patio and its secured to the wall by leaning it back and securing the top handle. Its quite weighty when full of water and I didnt want it to work free. This way its still held securely against the wall and cant move as I pull the hose out. If I want to move it the wall mounted clips easily ‘unclip’
I can squeeze a 1/2″ 30m hose on with careful spooling when rewinding the hose see pictures….not a chance a 45m hose is going on this reel (as advertised) as it is maxed out with a 30m hose.
I have used a couple of jubilee clips to attach an old earth rod onto the frame so I can effectively push the frame into the ground and secure it allowing me to reel off the hose without pulling the reel behind me….you will not be able to pull off a long hose with our doing something similar
Overall its a good cheap reel but will only hold 30m and could do with a few tweaks to make it more user friendly
I wanted something that was not very expensive and not too big either. This fit the bill. Now I use this one for feeder and then I have attched the two hoses using standard connectors and 2-3 m hose. Just a couple of things: 1. Its lightweight and can topple over when you pull the hose away ( I put a brick on one of the legs then its fine) and 2. While assembling it can be hard to insert the pieces into the slot fully until they click. (I used a rubber mallet to hammer those in and it was easy and not damaging the plastic.). All in all good for what I needed it for.
