HOSELINK Classic Charcoal 50ft Hi-Flow Automatic Retractable Hi-Flow Garden Hose Reel, 9/16”, UV-Stabilized Kink-Free Hose, Wall Mounted Complete Watering Solution for Backyard, Garden & Outdoor

We have a fairly crowded outdoor patio area. We used to have one of those crank wheel type hose things. Neither my wife nor I would rewind it because it was a pain to wind back (also a pain to unwind), so we had this dirty thing spread out across the patio taking up space looking ugly that only got rewound when we were going to have guests. Enter hoselink... super easy to pull the hose out, equally easy to rewind it back. The attached nozzle didn't have as many options as my old one, but is super high quality, and has all the spray patterns I need and more. I picked hoselink partially because the hose has no lead in it (why we allow hoses with lead in them sold in this country to poison our surroundings I have no idea). My only issues were with installing it, and none of those issues were hoselink's fault. First I tried to attach it to the outside wall of my condo. It didn't work out for me; the only wall that it would work with has a metal shrowd on the inside of the wall for the fireplace. Next I had to learn how to put in a permanent post; it's not a big deal, but if you haven't done it before (and don't have the tools) it is a bit of an additional cost. Because I have an HOA I also had to match the paint fairly precisely to the colors used in the development as opposed to what was lying around that was good enough. Once the post was in, properly painted, installing the hoselink to the post was a breeze. I also got the optional cover... partially for protection, partially because after the fact I realized the black might garner unwanted attention from the HOA. I can't imagine having anything else other than a product like hoselink for watering. Hoselink, where have you been all my life?

Awesome product. Works like you think it should. Perfect! Very happy. I tried a cheaper brand and I returned it right away

If you are lacking upper body strength and find it difficult to maneuver a hose,buy this!!! Easy to manage, doesn't drape over plants due to easy maneuvering and a quick retractable hose mechanism that works like a vacuum cord. So easy to use. I'm ready to buy a 2nd one for my backyard.

Absolute the best purchase for my wife watering plants! Well made, easy to install, looks great works even better

This is the third hose reel I have purchased, all different brands. This one is clearly my favorite! It unreels smoothly, and reels back up easily. It goes back really quickly, so you have to walk a little slowly. You can easily push it to the side if its in the way and it actually stays there, first reel I've had that does that, all the others moved back. The nozzle it came with is really nice. Also it is nice looking. I really like this hose reel and it is worth the money to this avid gardener!

Hose reel was easy to mount on an existing post where I had a regular hose hanger installed. This hose reel is definitely an improvement. No more having to wrap the hose up anymore. It retracts the hose easily and makes watering much easier.

Just got mine mounted tonight and it’s great! Seems so well built and the quick connects are awesome. After I got the 4x4 in the ground and back filled installation took like 15 minutes. One thing to note if mounting on a pressure treated 4x4 post like I did, the bracket is too wide to sit nicely on the 4x4 alone, I bought a post sleeve from Lowe’s and a nice cap for the top of it, added a little bit of width to my 4x4 and the mount looks great on it

I got this for Father’s Day and I love it so much. I bought a second one. I know they are expensive, but they are totally worth it.
