Retractable Garden Hose Reel - 115 Feet - Auto Retract Hose Reel with 180° Swivel Wall Mount - Heavy Duty - Integrated Spray Nozzle - 18630

I’m very happy with this hose reel. It’s incredibly convenient — no more bending down, manually winding up the hose, or dealing with a tangled hose after using it. Just pull out the length you need, and when you’re finished, it retracts neatly back into the reel. It makes watering so much easier and faster. So far, I’m very happy with my purchase. I just hope the quality and durability are as good as the convenience, and that it will last me at least several years!

We finally broke down and but a retractable reel. Wish we did it sooner because this has really improved our garden experience. Only thing I wish was different was rather than having an in-built leader hose I wish the just had a metal fitting where you could attach your own because I would've preferred a plain black leader hose for aesthetics, but it's not a deal breaker at all, just would've preferred something like that. Also would make it an easy fix down the road should something happen with the in built leader hose. We mounted this to a 6x6 pressure treated hose that we concreted in. Only had for a couple weeks, but we love it. Hoping that this holds up, but overall I think the price is fair compared to others on the market and the quality seems to be pretty good. We live in New England, so we'll definitely be over wintering it in the garage, which is easy because you can lift the unit right out of it's mount. Again, wish we would've bought this sooner after all the years of coiling up the hoses and tripping over them.

This is my third purchase of the Gardena self-rewinding 100’ hose reel. Great product. High quality. Very large capacity. Simple installation, even on a brick side wall. The secret is to drill the holes in the Mortar NOT the brick itself! Use the provided lag bolts and anchor inserts. Don’t make the whole too big. Let the water drain out of the hose by first turning off the water, then open the nozzle and retract. The water will empty out and make it lighter with less strain on the mount.

FANTASTIC!!! I have been gardening for decades. My husband has a garage next to my garden, and he has always left his hose in the driveway, run over it, and it gets holes in it from the stone driveway. So...he always takes MY garden hose, which he also leaves in the driveway and runs over and gets holes in. That means I have to buy new garden hoses several times every year if I want one without holes in it. NOT ANY MORE! This hose is wonderful, BOLTS to my side porch by the garden, and as soon as I'm done using it to water my vegetable garden, all I have to do is give it a gentle tug and it RETRACTS AND ROLLS RIGHT BACK UP where it belongs, safe and sound! I already told my husband I'm getting one for him for fathers' day, so he can mount it to the garage! :D

Good hose for a year but the bottom of it popped off recently when I turned it on. The ends are plastic so I think the pressure eventually got to it. I was able to screw it back on but try and get a metal end piece. Customers service has been quick to reply to me! At this price point it should last longer than 15 months. Go with a different brand.

We like it so far. It is good looking hose didnt have any issue yet. You need to assist with your hand when winding.

Update: the hose reel now leaks from the casing. The hose still works, but water constantly drips even after purging the hose. Would not recommend. I'll start with why I deducted stars. First off, there was only one quick adapter in the box, instead of 3 as advertised. There's also no retaining pin for the swivel post. Not totally necessary, but should still be included. Lastly, while installation is easy, the instructions should be more informative by including a tools required section so customers don't have to figure it out on their own. If it helps anyone, mine required a 1/4" masonry bit to drill out the holes (anchors weren't necessary) and a 10mm socket to sink in the bolts. Because of this and my experience with other hose reels, I can't grade this anything above average. The hose itself seems like a good product. Quick attachments don't leak, great pressure even when fully coiled, and the included spray nozzle works perfectly fine so far. The reel swivels and retracts smoothly. I also appreciate the level-wind to prevent the hose from bunching up on one side of the reel. It will see a good amount of sunlight throughout a typical day in southern California, so I'm hoping the UV resistance holds up. I would gladly add a star for every 5 years I get out of it.

I purchased the 115’ model two years ago and I have been happy with my purchase - up until the recoil mechanism broke. Luckily I was within the 2-year warranty window, and within 5 minutes of calling Gardena support, they had ordered me a new replacement reel free of charge. Pros/Observations Solid build, not flimsy. The hose itself is a small diameter but seems durable and does not kink easily. Water pressure is great. The hose fittings use a screw clamping design that requires only hand tightening, no tools. The auto-retract feature is awesome - a quick pull on the hose, mic drop and walk away. Installation was tricky for me, primarily due to the construction of my home. I screwed a scrap Ipe board to my stucco skirt using 4 metal Fliptoggle anchors, and then screwed the base into the wood. As I would find out the hard way, the 2-year warranty and excellent customer support were a lifesaver. Cons Durability - Within a few months of use, the hose guide that tracks horizontally while spooling the hose to ensure that the hose lines up and doesn't overlap seemed to get out of adjustment. When spooling the hose, the hose would overlap and rub against the housing, causing it to stop short of fully spooling. At one point there was a loud grinding while unspooling the hose, and after that I could see something was broken… this was after ~18 months of gentle use. I am hoping that design/build improvements have been made.

La caja venia golpeada, al instalarse nos dimos cuenta que venia averiada

Since childhood i found garden hoses to be a burden when using them. This roller saved you time and energy and makes watering your garden and washing your car easier than ever.

Works great strongly recommended

Love the retractable hose and the fact that it’s on a swivel. 100ft is perfect to meet all of my gardening needs. Easy to install - durable - easy attachments - love this product!

Well made, very sturdy and easy to install. Love using it.
