Flopro Professional Metal Hose Reel, Essential Garden Accessory for Neat Hose Storage, Wall-Mounted or Freestanding Garden Hose Reel

These are brilliant! Got fed up of replacing plastic ones every few years. Bought one for the back of the house - so solid and strong and well made AND looks good so a week later we bought one for the front hose too! How nice to have your hose on something that can also be considered attractive!!! Hoping they last may years to come! It holds a lot of hose too - ours is about 25 metres and it’s not completely full! So easy to use - pull the hair to unwind and wind the handle to pull it all back on!

I just received the metal hose reel and to my surprise it was much nicer than I expected for the price. The reel is real metal, packaged up very nice and the quality is superb. Super amazing product. Worth every penny.

An excellent product except the legs are too close to the ground. Rewinding even a hose of <25m in length would be much easier if the frame was designed to be higher from the ground.

Well made. Very Satisfied. A quality product at a good price. Much better than plastic ones.

I was reluctant to pay the seemingly high price for this item but having taken the plunge was pleasantly surprised. Some very minor assembly required by means of screwing the handle on, but otherwise ready to go. This is a pretty simple item by design but uses decent thickness of stainless steel and aluminium frame. Feels very sturdy and should not tarnish over time. Well worth the extra money versus the typical plastic ones. This feels like it will last a long time. It has an almost homemade quality about it given the sturdy build. Rarely can you buy items like this nowadays. Nowhere on the item, packaging or listing could I find information about country of origin. Any time in my experience this information cannot be found, it means made in China. I assume that is the case here unfortunately. I wound up a 25m Gardena SuperFlex 13mm hose and it could obviously take more than this, winds very easily.

Compared with the hozelock reel I have replaced, this one with it seems a lot more robust. The brackets that are supplied are a bit thinner than the reel itself and I can see that the two seem not to match quality wise. However I have used both the brackets as per the instructions and it all looks good and secure. I have pulled the full length of hose off in my case 30m and no problems, it didn’t fall off the wall or anything. The only observation I would make is that it would be good to have three brackets supplied, my reason for that is, when winding the hose back in the bottom of the reel bangs on the wall. The third bracket would fit on the bottom support bar and stop that happening. Other than that small problem I am very happy with this reel.

This is not the high quality item it purports to be. You can buy exactly the same thing from a number of Chinese manufacturers here on Amazon. It leaks from the rotating nut joint and the metal is thin and the structure wobbles. The included mounting is not sufficient. I think this is overpriced and recommend you spend your money on something better.

Great hose reel, high quality, functional, good value for money. Waited a long while to review to see how it would fare over time and I must say it’s as good as when new!
