Garden Reel — Retractable Wall-Mounted Hose, Auto-Coil

So happy with this. The quality surprised me — feels much more expensive than it was.

Perfect addition to my home. Arrived well packaged and looks lovely.

Very pleased! Matches the pictures, good quality, and fast shipping.

Gorgeous and well made. Exactly as described and great value.

I got this thing having only seen a picture of it, but not knowing any of the specs because there was not yet a product page. I also don't know what the selling price will be, so I'll just tell you my impressions. Important to note is that I have four other hose reels (three models) by one of the most highly rated brands, so if I'm nitpicking, it's only because I'm comparing it to what is probably the best and most expensive model to compare it to. 1) I know it is a branding thing, but I don't love the orange color in the garden. It's not a garden color. That said, it folds at 90 degrees on its bracket, so you can position the color away from you to some degree (see pic). 2) I noticed right off the bat that the hose itself is not the same material. It is less flexible and more likely to kink (you can sort of see that in the pic as well). And it smells very manufactured (like a lot of VOCs) when you first open it, but that doesn't matter because it goes outside. I think the hose is 1/2" or even less in diameter. The flow rate is slightly slower than my others. 3) It is 30' long hose, and the container is smaller because of this and the hose diameter. The small size is helpful, and it's great if you only need 30'. I know other common sizes are 50' and ~80'. 4) The sprayer is decent, but I really wish it had a "soaker" function like some. It has all the other normal sprayer patterns. It is plastic, which is fine. The other fancy brands come with plastic as well, and actually - those don't have all the spray patterns, and I've replaced those completely. 5) It does not come with quick connect fittings, which the other ones do, and I've learned to love them. I've made it a point to buy extra so all my connections have them (and I made sure to get ones that are interchangeable). This also allows me to remove the hose sprayers and add a sprinkler when needed. (in my experience, when you change out screw fittings too often, you are more likely to get leaks unless you continuously replace the rubber washers). I like to also have the quick connect fittings where it connects to the spigots so that I can blow them out with compressed air before winter as well. 6) The other units I have come with a mount, and then the hose reel slides into that and a padlock can be added if desired. This one is a fixed bracket with two "keyholes", where you drive the screws first and then push this onto them and down, at which point it requires a stubby screwdriver if you want to make it tighter. OK, so you can see from my list above that this doesn't have all the premium features of some of the others available, but I'm guessing the price will reflect this. That said, I still love it. In the location shown in my pic, I hadn't bothered with a hose reel since I don't need a long hose there, but the coiled hose I had there before was really annoying me and it was also in my way of getting between the garage and the fence (one of the other reels here would also be too large and block my movement). So this is a game changer for my particular situation. Definitely worth considering if 30' meets your needs. Read more

Honestly better than I expected. Looks high end and feels solid.

Works great, no need to handled the hose anymore. Pull it out. Clicks stop. Pull a little it’s retractable. Boom, clean, out of the way. Very easy to install. My pictures shows the views and hanging bracket easy to remove for winter storage. Worth every penny.

Came exactly as pictured and the quality is great. Very happy with this purchase!
