Exactly what I needed: I had lots of hose, but needed an empty hose reel as the old one got wrenched from the wall. I'm taking off a star because of all the packaging, and some unfathomable bits of plastic which didn't seem to do anything, and the installation instructions seem to have been designed for another product entirely: eventually I threw them away and followed my nose.

I thought I'd try hozelock as they're the market leader and this was a good price. I've not bought Hozelock for years because their fittings are very expensive, and not much better than competitors. As soon as I opened the box, two tiny aligning pegs had already sheared. They are pointlessly flimsy. However, this did not affect the overall structure. But. The screws and plugs supplied are too narrow and very cheap. The hose immediately pulled of the wall. I fixed this by using my own fittings. The round panel alignment is not thought out at all well; it makes fitting the hose very awkward. And the hose reel hangs precariously on three holes (again, flexing. The plastic needs to be a lot thicker. Unfortunately, the description is inaccurate too. It will only take 30m of 12mm hose (20m of 15mm standard hose). However, even with 30m of 12mm on the reel, it feels overloaded. The hose guide is badly designed (see above - already broken in transit); pretty flimsy with the same cheap screws and fittings. Overall, the plastic flexes and I have no doubt I'll have to replace this in a couple of years. Unfortunately, back to competitors next time round.Read full review

Bought a Hozelock wall mounted reel so my daughter could fill up her water butt during extended drought periods. A good quality reel that assembles easily and fixes solidly to the wall, Now easy to unroll hose, connect to house tap and fill butt. Simple to wind hose neatly back in.

My original Hozelock reel was worn out so needed to buy a direct replacement. The price was excellent compared to other suppliers and it arrived on time well packaged. . It's easy to relocate my existinghose using the instructions given in the box and within 30 minutes I was up and watering. A good experience.

Despite other comments - the quality is good. No written instructions - only pictures which need studying a few times! You need to be handy with hammer drills etc. Better to have 2 people on the job even if there is a need to swear at somebody!! Once the job is underway it seems to just flow (pardon the pun). As I was drilling into brick I did not use the rawlplugs provided, I used 'butterfly' ones. The screws are not easy to put in place but with patience I managed.
