“As a vertically challenged senior, the retractable hose has cut my watering time down. Thus at this time of the year less time in the sun and heat. Purchasing the larger reel I can water my whole garden either with recycable water as well as fresh. I have access to both and I like to use the fresh water on my pots with lettuce and tomatoes and as drinking water for the native birds as I live in a rural area. I like the fact that the hose doesn’t kink and I don’t ‘kink’ with constant bending over on arthritic joints. Thanks for such a dependable unbendable friend to the seniors in our community.”
“I've just bought a third hose reel from Hoselink and now have one at every outdoor tap. It's high-quality product and the fittings are very reliable. Having the adaptors means I can still use existing equipment. Dispatch and delivery times are excellent.”
“This is my third Hoselink hose and reel, bought to finally replace a manual reel.As hoped, the hose and reel are top quality and the Hoselink fittings continue to be far superior to the click fittings. My previous hose and reel sets came with the old metal body sprayers which, although needing occasional maintenance with the spare parts and lubricating silicone that first came with them, have been reliable and a pleasure to use. So much so, that I bought extras for the non-Hoselink locations in the garden (such as the now-replaced hose and reel).The plastic sprayer that now comes with the hose and reel is a cheap and nasty substitute.It is uncomfortable to hold and direct (the angle between the handle and nozzle is wrong), the thumb control is also uncomfortable to use and needs to be turned off rather than automatically stopping when released like the trigger grip of the old metal body sprayers. The spray patterns on the new sprayer are generally acceptable, but the "Centre" pattern which is a favourite of mine on the metal version is too thin and widely dispersed on the plastic version (a few lines of spray in a cone 1.5m wide at 4m, rather than many lines narrowly focussed to about 50cm width at 3-4 metres). I will be substituting the older metal version and relegating the new plastic one to the spares box, hoping that it never has to be brought out.Overall I still recommend the Hoselink hose and reel set, but suggest that buyers look for another sprayer.”
“My overall experience was very positive. My product was a gift To my nephew when just bought his first home. It was deliveredPromptly and they were over the moon.”
“Recently purchased my third hosereel and associated accessories. Have always been a big Hoselink brand advocate, and continue to be one, but I’m a little disappointed by the lower quality hose supplied with the last reel. It’s noticeably softer and more flexible which causes kinks not seen in my two older models. The hose itself also tainted the water with a highly chemically laced aroma and flavour for several months. The water was undrinkable, and we were not able to even fill the dogs bowl with the hose for fear of making the dogs ill. The hose continues to taint the water held in the hose between use, but its severity is slowly diminishing. Feels to me simply like a cheaper quality substitution which is disappointing from a company i hold so highly.Still a great product, but disappointed to see the penny pinching quality reduction for such an expensive product.”
“I love it, it's so easy if I need extrs length, I just stay where I am and gently pull out some more, previously, with my old one, I had to go back to the unit and tug it out thjen push it back in when it stopped redrawing. With this I need to be alert as to how fast it retracts and not let it go.Fantastic.”
