“I have 3 wall mount hose reels and in the front of the house I wasn’t able to mount another reel so I went for the manual winding Metal Hose reel box. The set up and instructions were easy to read and a breeze to assemble. I had read previous reviews and was concerned that the set up would be a drama but it was a piece of cake. I have used it about 5 times now and it is easy to wind up. As yet I haven’t had a problem with the hose tangling up but the lid is easy to open so I don’t think if it tangled it would be a drama. I just love hose link products and have many of their products. Great product with awesome back up advice and love the emails with advice and tips on when we should be planting etc. if you have ever thought about purchasing any Hoselink product and think it might be a bit pricey then I suggest you bit the bullet and get one because they are a fantastic product and if you want the best then buy the best”
Hi Justine, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The Metal Hose Reel Box is not a product you would want to move around frequently. It needs to be heavy to ensure you don't end up dragging the box along the ground when pulling the hose out. If you wanted something you can move around from tap to tap then we would recommend checking out the Metal Hose Reel Cart. Kind regards, The Hoselink Team
“I recently bought 3x 30 garden hose reals and am very happy with them.I then bought a Metal Hose Real Box and was a bit disappointed with it. The hose is not the same as the retractable hoses (white) so it doesn’t match the other three real hoses. Then the hose didn’t have the yellow variable flow leaver on the hose connection. Also I get the hose can’t be auto retractable due to its weigh or not being bolted to something but it would be great if it could be.”
“Metal Hose reel box and hose arrived without delay, required minimal assembly (feet, winding handle and hose connection). This product gives the impression that it will last many years given the high quality of all the elements of the hose reel and the box, and the hose will not kink.”
