Retractable Garden Hose Reel 5/8 in x 100 ft Upgraded UV Resistant Heavy Duty Automatic Hose Reel Wall Mount 3/4 in Brass Fitting 9 Pattern Nozzle Any Length Lock Slow Retraction 180° Swivel

I have used it for some time since summer. It is easy to set it up in the place you choose. It doesn't occupy much space. The hose is very durable, made of some strong plastics and works good when the water flows in it. I really like the self-retracting functiion of the item, and it save me a lot of headache: I don't need to take much time to wrap it up, it can automatically retrace back and it is pretty easy to make it happen just pulling and then releasing. It is worth the money.

I’ve been using this retractable garden hose for a few weeks now, and it’s made watering the yard so much easier. I bought the 65ft version, and it easily reaches every corner of my back yard.The auto-retract feature works flawlessly. Just a gentle tug and the hose winds back smoothly without kinks or tangles.Mounting it on the wall keeps everything tidy. No more piles of hose lying on the ground!The reel feels sturdy, and the hose is flexible but tough. No leaks so far.It comes with multiple spray patterns which is super handy for switching between watering plants and cleaning off the patio.This hose reel is a fantastic value for the price. It keeps everything neat and works exactly as advertised. If you’re tired of wrestling with traditional garden hoses, this is definitely worth considering.

I bought two of these for my front and back yards: 100’ x 5/8" and 115' x 1/2". It would have been nice if they sold just the wall bracket so one device could be moved between locations, but all they sell—on Amazon anyway—are extra screws (which you can get at any hardware store). That said, as I note below, moving these could be problematic.Overall, they’re nice units that work as advertised . . . for now. I have had retractable hose reels before, and they all worked well . . . until they didn’t, first no longer retracting all of the hose, and ultimately none of the hose. So time will tell, hence my 4 stars rather than 5. I am skeptical.Some specifics:REEL: Locks and retracts well and not too fast. It has a handy carry handle, but... The one in my backyard weighs 31 lbs.+ DRY. I can’t imagine trying to haul if off of its mount and carry it around when it’s full of residual water! TIP: Don’t try to retract the hose when it’s pressurized with water. After shutting off the source, open the nozzle to release the internal pressure, then retract the hose. It works much better that way.WARRANTY: There’s a prominent label on the top that reads “2 Years,” but that only applies to the case standing up to UV radiation. The actual warranty is only 1 year.MOUNT: Sturdy plastic, with a metal tube to serve as an axle. They supply large, conventional, conical plastic wall anchors with screws. I was going into a stucco on frame wall for one unit, and into a CMU block wall for the other. In either case, I did not use those kinds of anchors. They are weakest in one direction: outward, away from the hole, which is exactly the direction you are always exerting force on the reel as you pull the hose out. I substituted expandable masonry anchors.At 30+ lbs dry, it was a little bit of a wrestle to position the reel onto the mount and slide the tube into place. I would not want to be doing that with the reel full of residual water. My back wouldn’t be able to take it, so my reels will not often be coming off their mounts.The axle tubes have holes at the bottom, presumably for a padlock. None of my locks would fit it, however. It would require one of those lightweight brass padlocks with at least a 2" shackle.HOSE: Very flexible. I haven’t experienced any kinking, but that doesn’t mean they won’t kink.Both units were installed at the height of their adjoining hose bibbs—low—which resulted in the nozzles lying on the ground. I therefore shortened the slack ends by moving the ball-stops closer to the hoses’ ends. (They’re just clamped around the hoses with two screws.)NOZZLE: It’s a reasonably nice one, with 9 different spray patterns (although I have yet to figure out the use for many of them). Instead of a conventional trigger handle/plunger valve, these have a thumb-operated ball valve on top. That may extend their lives in our hard water environment.So we’ll see. So far so good.

We had a shorter expandable hose but the nozzle is not detachable, so we bought this one. It provides a new fresh view of organizing garden tools. The hose can be locked any length we want just by pulling out an inch and let go, and there is a nod in the nozzle end to prevent over shrink and a red mark to the other end to let us know it's about the maximum length. My son loves the different patterns and he is developing to a great garden helper as he finds it so much fun. There is a pushable handle to control the water volumn. The detachable feature is benefitial because we can connect this to his water pool and no need to worry about the location. We have a large lawn and this hose reel is perfectly able to cover all, love it!!!

Bought this hose reel in July 2024 to replace a cumbersome manual crank-in hose reel. I was AMAZED at the ease of use and the reach of the hose. One of our flower beds is on the opposite side of our house from the spigot and it not only reached that bed, but had more hose on the reel beyond it. It has a strong retracter to reel in the hose, so you have to hold on to the hose as it reels in to avoid damaging it or risk injury to anybody near by. It maintains excellent water pressure (we tested it by shooting a stream of water over our 2 story house). Installation was easy and we had it up and running in no time. One thing I love about it is that in the late fall, you can dismount it and store it inside so that what water is still in the hose won't freeze over the winter. And that the plastic housing won't be damaged by subfreezing temps that Ohio winters are famous for. The functionality of this product is amazing and makes me wish I had found and bought it sooner. Now yard work and flower bed management isn't the dreaded chore is used to be.

I’ve had the hose for several months and enjoy the convenience of the hose reel and I like that the hose doesn’t leak from the spigot or the nozzle. I had an issue where the nozzle wasn’t working at full capacity, more like 50%, and the company was easy to reach and super nice to hear my issue. They sent me a new nozzle within a few days. I just tried the new one and it works perfectly!
