Flat Hose Reel

Product Information

In addition, the better quality the hose, the easier it will be to use and less likely to kink or fail to rewind. Superior garden hoses also come with better tap fittings meaning they are less likely to leak. As with most garden pots, this option isn't ideal to transport your hose or any other garden accessories. We found that lightweight hoses were the best choices for this pot, because you have to take the whole hose out and drag it around when in use—you don’t have the benefit of a reel to roll up the hose for you, but if you are looking for a hose pot, you can’t go wrong with this stylish choice.

It’s worth noting that this is a large hose reel that does take up quite a bit of space – certainly something to bear in mind when considering if it’s the right product for your garden. The reel casing measures 27 x 66 x 55.5 cm, which is bigger than some other models.One further thing to note: the feeder hose provided, to connect the reel unit to the tap, is a little short – measuring only around 2 m instead of the advertised 3 m. Just something to bear in mind whilst considering where to place your garden reel. When the hose is retracted, it will disappear inside a neat unit. When not in use, most wall units protrude a maximum of 30 cm from the wall . This is a good size as it stops them from being hazardous or encroaching on your garden space.

Multi-Reels are used by everyone from roadies, tradies, techies, travellers, caterers and fireies, to Mum with the Chrissy lights and Gramps with his plug-in-mower lead. But did you know that using a hose reel will make this job so much simpler? Gone are the days of having the hose trailing behind, getting frustratingly tangled and kinked every five minutes! Traditional garden hoses are round and easily susceptible to punctures and kinks. Think about how many times you twisted your round garden hose and had to spend several minutes straightening it out. Wouldn’t you like a better alternative? When it comes to the hose itself, the manufacturing is of noticeably good quality; the 25 m hose pipe consists of 3 wear-resistant layers which help protect it from the elements and high water pressure. We found this reel to be easy to put together (although the screws require a little extra effort), and the aluminum frame felt well-made and built to last. The reel's rubber wheels made it easy to maneuver on different surfaces. We also appreciated the rubber grips on the handle, which made the reel comfortable and easy to steer. For reference, our testing team member who used this reel is 5 foot 2 inches, so someone taller might have a different experience and might need to bend over to move the reel around, but generally, we believe this model is good for a variety of heights.

What you should know about the Multi-Reel

Whilst some people love the bright colours of gardening equipment, there are others who cry out for something a little more understated. If you find yourself in the latter category, you’ll be pleased to know the TRESKO Auto Garden Hose Reel has got you covered. Compact units, holding 15 m hoses, are available for small gardens . In medium gardens, a hose of 20 – 30 m should work well. Larger gardens will benefit from a 30 – 40 m hose . You can always attach an additional extension to the hose whilst working. The included Gardena hose features a spray nozzle and an on/off valve. This makes it infinitely easier to connect the hose to a sprinkler system, as well as adjust the water pressure from the hose itself rather than just the garden tap. Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house.
