10m Auto Reel

I first bought the Hozelock Auto Reel 30m back in 2011, and it has served me well for 14 years. It still works today, but the reel no longer locks in place and rewinds itself if disturbed. When checking my order history to determine which variant to buy, I realised I had the 30m version, but the mounting bracket on the new 40m model I just purchased, despite being longer than my need, is identical — a big plus, as I didn’t want to drill new holes. In fact, I didn’t even need to swap the bracket. In everyday use, these auto-retract hoses are a real time saver. Once you’re finished, the hose rewinds neatly and effortlessly. The hose quality is excellent too, and my original has certainly proved its durability. There’s also a provision for a padlock to prevent “permanent borrowing.” I fitted one years ago and had to cut it off recently because it had rusted solid — a sign of how long this reel has lasted! Overall, I’d highly recommend this product. Fourteen years of reliable service is impressive, and I’m confident the new one will be just as good.

I doubt you need me to give approval of Hozelock products however this auto real is excellent. I purchased another hose as i wanted it further away from my outside tap and it only came with a meter long feeder pipe. Easy to fix and straight forward assembly. Beware it is quite heavy, I would recommend using washers on the wall fixings when mounting. It is quite expensive but you really do get what you pay for with hoses, I have had other brands that didn't last and had leakage issues. Typical pay cheap buy twice but not when it's Hozelock.

Just installed this yesterday. It is a nice robust item. My advice is to get your own good quality screws as accessing the screws when installing is tricky, and the screws which come with the unit are poor quality, so will damage very easily when under pressure from a power driver. Installation is not as easy as made out, you will need to allow time and have a very slim marker to mark the holes you intend to drill...I ended up having to use a kids paint brush and some paint! A traditional pencil will not fit through the mounting points on the unit. Get good screws - You do not want to destroy a screw halfway through installation!! Other than that, the unit looks great and does what it should. It's really tidy and has really cleaned up the side passage to the house which previously had trailing hoses and lots of related trip hazards.

I've read quite a few reviews prior to buying this like i always do when purchasing items from amazon, a few reviews its quite clear to me they didn't read all of the instruction properly. Firstly this reel is absolutely fantastic it comes with all of the attachments to plug into your outside tap, it also comes with a template on the box itself which makes installation so much easier. also the wall attachment can be detached from the reel to make installation easier plus getting to the screws to attach to the wall.

This hozelock autoreel is just fantastic. This is excellent value for money.This has an automatic rewinding mechanism inbuilt. It has a kink resistance built in the hose. The design of this has clean lines to it. It fits in my garden so nicely, i love it.

This is the second one I have purchased for my parents. It's well made and easy to install.

A small part of my roof is thatched so having a long hosepipe for emergency use is essential. My old hose started to become brittle and crack after decades of use. As we use various Hozelock sprays we decided to buy the longest Hozelock hose with enclosed reel and auto rewind. This has proved much easier and neater than our old hose that was coiled onto a hook mounted in the wall. Installation was simple enough although access to the mounting screws makes tightening them awkward. The hose reel is still new with limited use. So far it works perfectly, but if I encounter any problems I will update this review.

Great item I wouldn’t say the instructions were the easiest to understand but got there in the end , it’s a great hose it replaced our old wall mounted that you had to wind up with the handle that finally snapped inside it was many years old but as a more elderly person it’s great that this hose retracts so easily well worth it .

Har nyss monterat den. Känns bra det lilla vi använt den.

Très bon produit, enroulement facile.

I am 70 and have owned many hose reels. This is the best. Light weight and so easy. I brought another one for my front yard.

Besteeling + Levering was prima. Maar deze Hozelock lekte al bij eerste gebruik, kon niet geopend worden om het beter aan te sluiten, meteen weer teruggestuurd.

Great hose reel and hose with quality second to none! The clever and nifty features such as removable fitting in the reel, lead hose cover, lockable features on the mount and main reel add value and convenience. The retractable and lock mechanism feels solid and works well. It also comes with excellent instructions and wall mounting kit - just 4 plugs and screws and you're good to go. I have used other reels before but the quality doesn't compare. I couldn't recommend this product any more.
