We bought our first hoselink retractable hose in 2019 and found it so convenient and reliable that we bought a second one in 2021, then a third and fourth in 2024. We have several acres and many dispersed beds for vegetables, flowers and shrubs and have installed mounting posts at the taps so that we can use one hose across different sites. Best feature of hoselink is the joints that have never burst on us unlike the more common unions. A length of hose can kink, not as badly as some hoses, and having retractable reels really overcomes this problem. Fully recommend this product.
