Gardena 18614-20 66 Foot Auto Retractable Hose Reel on Metal Spike, Feet, Standard, Turquoise

I replaced my kinked old 20ft garden hose with this wonderful auto retract thingy. I love this. Installation is not hard, it is rather easy. This works pretty well. Highly recommended.

Overall was simple to install, works great, nice and solid, great quality, very handy. The hose diameter is a little smaller than your typical hose but not a surprise just something to know. The hose retracts well, would consider another one of these if needed.

Very nice looking product, easy to install, Spike workers very well, self retracting also works great. Overall high quality product.

The media could not be loaded.  I absolutely love my Gardena spike-mounted water hose! 😍I'm a complete "girlie-girl" and not the type to assemble anything. However, after watching a couple of helpful Youtube videos on how to assemble this spike-mounted water hose, even I had no issues installing it! 😁PROS-easy to install. One person can install it on their own and it does help to watch a couple of YouTube videos regarding the installation-super easy to reinstall it in any other grass/ground location if want to relocate the hose reel. Unlike a wall-mounted hose reel, this spike-mounted reel won't leave marks in the ground for long if you want to relocate it (whereas a wall mounted hose reel will require patching up the concrete/wood surface where the reel is mounted and possibly painting over as well to hid any holes from the screws)-the retractable hose reel works smoothly! So many other brands of retractable reels cause jams or kinks in the hose that require manually retraction (that's annoying and defeats the purpose of a retractable reel in the first place). Not the case at all with this Gardena model-it's stylish and unique!! They don't sell this model in any stores here in the GTA so nobody else really has it unless they order this reel off of Amazon. I've already had neighbours and contractors complimenting this hose reel!-you can keep the entire hose reel outside during winter (simply empty the hose reel of any water). However, if you wish to keep the hose reel in your garage/basement/storage during the winter time, you can easily lift the main hose reel compartment up from the base metal spike, keep the base metal spike in the ground during the winter and simply store the plastic main hose reel compartment. I find that convenient so that it saves me from having to remove the ground spike in the Fall and reinserting the ground spike in the spring.CONS-a couple of minor cons: I'm not crazy about the spray nozzle that came with the hose reel. It requires twisting the nob to turn the water off and on which I find a bit tedious - attached is a video to demonstrate. So I "upgraded" and bought the Gardena 7-in-1 spray nozzle where you only have to press the nozzle to allow the flow of water (no twisting of the nozzle required!)-I found the plastic metal tap adapters that came with the hose reel to be a bit leaky. So I bought the Gardena universal metal tap adapter and that solved everything! No leaks, super easy to install, and also metal lasts longer than plastic especially over time with large temperature fluctuations here in Toronto between our winter and summer seasonsOverall I highly recommend this hose reel! Super happy with it!

Ich bin begeistert von der Gardena Garten-Schlauchbox RollUp S. Die Montage war ein Kinderspiel, und das Design ist sehr durchdacht. Der Schlauch lässt sich einfach herausziehen und zieht sich ebenso mühelos wieder zurück – ganz ohne Knicke oder Verheddern. Besonders schätze ich den integrierten Sprühkopf, der verschiedene Bewässerungsmodi bietet, und die kompakte Größe, die ideal für kleinere Gärten oder Terrassen ist. Die robuste Bauweise und das ansprechende Design runden das Gesamtbild ab. Diese Schlauchbox ist jeden Cent wert und macht die Gartenarbeit erheblich angenehmer.
