200$ btw, nor bad compared to the 200$ i got which kinks easily

[@robwaelchli1063]

What size Post did you use? I am looking at the Hoselink Reel like the one you installed on this video however, I purchased 4X4 posts and based on the dimensions of the brackets I don't think it will fit on a 4x4. In your links you do have 4x4 of the composite cover you put over the post that would indicate you used a 4x4 but you don't mention it and I would have to think you actually used a 6X6 post, no?

[@beej25m]

The price seems to fluctuate. I ordered mine last week at $259. Just looked on your link and it is now $249

[@beej25m]

@@robwaelchli1063 I have mine mounted on a 4x4 post. It is really close to the edges, but it seems to be on there good.

[@MatthewWebb62024]

I have one in the front and one in the back. They are worth every penny. One of the best home accessory purchases I have ever mad. Self retraction for the win!

[@SilverCymbal]

I also have an eley and they are very nice but mine corroded out on the aluminum since you can't take it in. This seems a better match for Mass weather and I underestimated how awesome the spring action is like you said too

[@anonymoose6873]

How much did it cost you?

[@MatthewWebb62024]

@@anonymoose6873 $179 in March and $199 in May of 2021

I have the same setup one for front yard one for backyard. They are worth every penny…I have never been so motivated to water my plants

[@hoselink]

So happy to hear you like your reels Matthew!

[@GunnyPhillips]

I love the fact that you only present products you would actually use. Great video and I'll be looking for one of these.

[@515Mike]

I bought one back in March. I love it. It's worth the price! Especially when your used to cranking a plastic reel. Great idea with the install of the post! Appreciate all your reviews! Keep up the great content!

[@babyboo3236]

I’ve seen several videos to get ideas on how to install my HoseLink. This is hands down the best installation I’ve seen. So clever and innovative. Great job!

[@chrisolson1755]

I have 4 and absolutely LOVE them!!! Life is so much easier now. Great video! Thank you

[@BahamianLily]

I went ahead and bought the charcoal version a few days ago but mainly due to the YT channel Garden Answer and I must say that yours was the most attractive and most professionally done of all the YT vids I've watched about Hoselink's hose reels.

[@SilverCymbal]

Very nice of you to say, that charcoal one is definitely very cool looking.

[@andrewjtphotography380]

One of my fave channels. Almost always something I'm into.

[@generallyhelpfulsoftware646]

After watching this video, I did this exact install including the foam post set and PVC post cover. Really a great upgrade to the house. Thanks.

[@SilverCymbal]

So glad it helped!

[@myriadcorp]

I have seen those hoses for awhile. You just made a fantastic video showing easy installation. I am definitely getting this for my next house.

[@PammyRock]

Another FANTASTIC video! I've been eyeballing this for a while, but I didn't want to attach it to the house. Thanks for the alternative, it looks fantastic and also thanks for the coupon code. Sending the link to Honey as a STRONG gift hint. 😁 BTW... your lawn is looking great!

[@SilverCymbal]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you

[@Flyingdogturd]

I have one of these in the uk and it’s defo worth the money. You can’t go wrong

I recently got a hose reel, and was about to give it away until I saw this video. I'm doing this! Thank you.

Hey Hoselink, I know he doesn't get any commission for sales because of this video, but just know that I wouldn't have bought your product if not for Patrick's endorsement. Great video, as always. :)

I love my Hoselink reel. It's been brilliant.

[@pacadet]

Weird I was taking a walk yesterday and I saw one of these for the very first time. Now you put up a video about one!

[@John-if8sx]

You will love those hoselink connectors. I have excessive pressure at my house and these are the only hose connections that I've found to work.

[@SilverCymbal]

That's great to hear. They seem very clever and its shocking how much they weigh when you are used to little cheapie plastic ones, these are solid.

[@tedlahm5740]

John: Excessive pressure is a blessing to many parts of the country. Considering the ultra low pressure the folks endure with. SHOWER etc.

[@PeterLawton]

You can dial that excessive pressure down. Homes have a pressure regulator somewhere, and they are adjustable.

[@PeterLawton]

@@tedlahm5740 In many cases, that pressure drop is introduced at the shower head. Heads I've seen have a small plastic insert near the pipe threads, and you can just remove the insert before re-attaching the head to the pipe.

[@davidgulbransen6801]

Eley hose reels are a beefy metal reel option, but they are not enclosed mor self-retracting. They are, however, incredibly well built and you can get replacement parts for them as well.

[@kimbersmith5678]

Installed 2 yesterday. Love them. Thanks for recommending them

[@SilverCymbal]

They are really the best portable reels on the market, glad you are enjoying then, a year later mine are all working as well as new

[@jenniferlenaghen2156]

Great timing! I ordered mine and got it last week and was planning on installing it tomorrow! Thanks for the tips!

[@SilverCymbal]

So glad it was helpful, I was very impressed with this reel and quality I think you will love it

[@josephkersey7084]

Purchased one. Adding another thanks to you.

[@peterryan7340]

Great Aussie company 🇦🇺👍 I have had one for about 7 years and just make sure you buy the cover to protect it. The cover will last 5 years or so but the hose reel will stay like new

[@hoselink]

Thanks Peter!

[@incubrian]

Do you still have it after all these years? I'm curious how this thing ages because I've always heard that they leak internally and are a nightmare to fix if they do get a leak inside.

[@peterryan7340]

@incubrian yeah still got it and used almost daily. I replaced the cover again 4 months ago. No leaks

[@natalieyt1851]

Just bought one because of this video - thanks!

I just spent a pretty penny on a Gorilla hose reel, which is great. But this looks amazing as well, and it was another excellent video. Thanks for posting!

[@acw2582]

Might have to pick a couple of these up. Haven’t been able to find a good solid hose reel yet and my hoses have been coiled up on the ground. Only issue I can see is these would make wonderful wasp houses 😂

That's pretty cool. I have 5 acres so I use one of the hose carts that holds 400 ft but I might consider one of those for the beds around the house

[@traviscade3186]

I bought one and gifted one to my parents. I think the hose reel is awesome, but I have had nothing but trouble with the nozzle and quick connects. First time I used them both broke. Hoselink did replace both pieces but I havent used the replacements.

[@someperson7]

These are cool👍🏻 I'd make very sure to have that bracket level. Otherwise you'll always be fighting gravity as it wants to flop one side or the other.

Am old school have a mounted tire rim to wrap my hose around. I tend to like to reuse items. Great review as always, myself I am afraid that the retractable portion would probably break after a few uses. But Great post set up and my use the foam for some use.

[@prepsandstuff6871]

One word !!!!! AMAZING😮😮😮😀😀😀😀!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mr1pearl]

Nice set-up . When putting any post in the ground it is a good plan to add pea pebbles under the post to help prevent wood rot .

Or just gravel. Easier to get and usually cheaper.

[@jxman65]

Unrelated, but can you do a video or give your recommendation on hose quick connect attachments.

[@paulwasacz3318]

Assuming the same hose length and diameter, do you prefer the gardena or the hoselink?

[@tommaj5657]

I’ve been considering reels, of lesser quality but similar money, from the big box stores to mount to my shed (also delivered on a mule lol)…. Thinking that in order to mount this on studs I’d have to go to the inside the shed and build out a stud with an additional 2x4 vertical on each side until the width became 6” to mount the reel receiver with proper support. Does that seem like a good approach? As always, great and informative video, SC.

[@hoselink]

Hi Tom! We generally recommend just making a backing board (same dimensions as the bracket) from plywood, and attaching the backing board directly to the studs with 2 screws down the center. You can learn more by watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoDGgH16rdB2iZY

[@mark33545]

should i do this setup or the spike gardena one you did?

[@delliott777]

I like it. I want one. I wonder if there’s a cover to put over it, keep critters from building a nest inside.

[@SilverCymbal]

I know they sell some optional covers, that may help with that. We have a lot of mice where I live. haven't had them in the hose reel yet, I hope they stay out.

[@bigal1863]

Cover is 20 bucks. Nice product but I need about 200 feet of hose on it before it'll do me any good.

[@MrSubmissiveWill]

It looks like a great product...any foreseeable issues? I can't think of any

[@SilverCymbal]

The finish and quality of it were very good. I don't expect problems based on reviews but I love that you can get parts later, a hose reel could be in use forever. I have an old Hozelock in my garage thats 20+ years old this reminds me a lot of that one, good quality, for some reason they never sold in the US, so it's nice to see someone following the good euro style models that are durable.

[@matthewlewis5631]

Heyyy these are from ‘Straya! Expensive AF though.

[@Kinzlr]

Everytime the hose is retracted, it will have some grass pieces or whatnot stuck to it. I wonder how the retracting mechanism will fare overtime with debris accumulated.

[@MrNanah38]

How do you make your lawn look so good?

[@karenpike2420]

Great video. Would you mind telling me: How long is the hose that connects to the faucet?

[@kristiesler3597]

I think it 6.5 feet

[@imperialallah9188]

What size pressure treated post did you use?

[@gordonhutchinson2949]

Is that hose measurement ID or OD? Thanks...

[@Krazy_Shorts]

Damn, wish you had put this video out 3 months ago!

[@expressivepets1]

Wow

[@demdaddy]

doesn’t look like you can splice the hose if there’s a hole. Do you have to replace the entire thing if so?

[@anniemorton7533]

They've got an easy repair kit in the event of any punctures etc: www.hoselink.com/products/retractable-hose-reel-repair-kit?

[@PeterLawton]

I have dreamt of a hose reel that uses the attached water supply to wash the incoming hose as it is being wound up. But I never hunted for one (too lazy).
