Auto Reel Garden Hoses?

golly99

Hi

Currently looking at auto reel type of garden hoses with at least about 20m length, just wondering if anyone has one and can recommend? Our current hose just tangles up all the time and looks a mess so a neat auto reel one would be a good solution. Been having a quick look round, seems the cheapest is about £50,is that about right? Hozelock and Blackspur are the main makes I've seen so far.

I've had a Hozelock one for about 8 years now and love it. Definitely worth the extra cost and you can buy replacement bits.

My father and myself both have a Hasel hose reel for over 20 years and they are still going strong. You get what you pay for !! http://www.haseldenenterprise.co.uk/

I bought a Hozelock one a few weeks back from B&Q but you can also get it from Argos

Its worth paying extra, I had a Hozelock in my last house for 12+ years never let me down buit it was a little short to wash car, I had two cheap ones and they last a few weeks they keep leaking when kinks arrived in the Hoze or the Hoze reel would break because of Cheapo plastic

This is what we got, easy to clip on to wall on and off, damn gone down in price too

Thanks for all the replies. Must admit I was a bit shocked to see how much they were but if it lasts a good few years then it's a good investment I guess!

We have had one of the autoreel type for three years and very happy with it. They are expensive though.

Hi

Thanks, but I've already got one of those was after an autoreel one, but they are all coming out about £50-£70 ish. If it lasts a good few years and doesn't tangle up I'll be happy!

Cheers.
