Whilst I wanted to rate as 5 star in clear conscience I could not. Specifically there were 2 disappointments. 1. The hose diameter for the 10m Compact Portable Hose Reel is smaller than Hoselink standard hose. It meant that I could not directly add a flow control connection to allow me to turn off the water flow without having to travel back to the tap. An oversight on my part for 'assumming' compatability of parts. 2. When I connected the Reel to test the unit both hose ends leaked. On inspection the hose nut and ferrules were not tight. I tightened them and checked if this was a requirement in the assembly instructions. It was not. As stated, disappointing.
