Which Hose Reel is Best? - Comparing the Top 10

Here are the results in order of highest score to lowest score: (reminder, if you have feedback on any of these hose reels, let people know in the comments because it is legitimately helpful).
1. Hoselink (also the MOST expensive) : amzn.to/3PxUlRr
2. Glahoden (best bang for your buck) : amzn.to/3IO9mKW
3. Gardena : amzn.to/3IMfCDc
4/5 tie. Flexzilla : amzn.to/3TsFnxf
5/5 tie. Vevor (This was obviously NOT a long term test but if I had to guess which of these would wear out the fastest, it would be this one which makes sense because it is the cheapest option. Just had to throw this out there) : amzn.to/497s6jA
6. Giraffe (*NEW DEVELOPMENT* - Giraffe now has an option for a METAL BRACKET and since that was our biggest gripe for this reel, that alone would move this one up the list!) : amzn.to/3TLVPtQ
7. Blubery : amzn.to/4a0QMLI
8. Retracta: amzn.to/3vf5NdX
Side Note: If you are looking for garden hose quick connects, I did a video on the best of those also but spoiler alert, eley was the best: www.eleyhosereels.com/?rfsn=6...

I want to point out that the metal bracket for Giraffe wasn’t an option when I ordered 🤷🏼‍♂️. BUT it is an option now and that one thing would have given the giraffe tools reels 2 extra points and would have put them at number 4 assuming all of us still didn’t pick it as one of our top 3.

I've have the Giraffe myself. I definitely agree that you should go with the 5/8 over the 1/2 in most scenarios.

I watched this video while trying to select a retractable hose reel. The presenters did an amazing job. I ordered the Glahoden 100 ft 5/8 based on what I saw here. What a well made piece of equipment and the packaging is top notch. The installation was a breeze. I am so glad I found this video.

I own a 4gpm pressure washer and my 2 half inch Gardena sets don't provide enough water to it. I need the 5/8" hose but don't want to spend $$$ on a crappy reel.

[@JAYNEmM1962]

I bought the giraff and have been using a month now and LOVE IT. ITs smooth and just makes life easier.

[@prophetessoftroy]

We bought a Hoselink two years ago and absolutely love it. We plan on adding more for each of our gardening zones across our 7-acre property over time. My ex-Navy husband is particularly fond of not having to manually coil hoses lol. I like that they're easy to store, it's just a matter of moving the case off of the bracket in the fall and popping it back on in the spring. By the same token, for now we have several posts with brackets installed and because we only have the one reel, we just put it in the back of the garden cart and move it as we need. Never have to worry about running it over with the mower or anything else. Hard recommend.

[@hoselink]

Thank you for including us in this test Lawn Tools, we are so happy with the results! Just a quick update on the price, our 82ft reel is $249, and our 50ft reel is $199.

[@homesforokc]

Starting season four with my 82’ Hoselink. Love it. I water from a lake, and the pump pressure sometimes causes problems with my regular hoses, even blowing out several expandable ones. Never a problem with my Hoselink.

[@KipGordon]

I have a Hoselink - it's been great. Did stop retracting a couple of months ago just under a year of ownership. They've walked me through some troubleshooting stuff and are now shipping a replacement to me free of charge. Only took two months because I took forever doing the troubleshooting stuff so that's not on them at all. Been a great experience. About to buy a second one.

[@kylelyons7474]

Two years ago I wish I had this video after laboring for hours through videos to make my purchase! Ended up with two hose links and have been extremely satisfied and pleased especially with the retracting capabilities yet my wife can pull it all the way out with ease!

I've had a hoselink in the backyard for about 4 years now. Still works great. 0 issues. I recently ordered a 2nd one for the front yard too.

[@popplehillbricks7712]

Older Hoselinks are far better built than the newer ones. The spring on newer versions doesn't seem as good.

[@heatherb0302]

We have had 2 hoselinks for around 4 years. Absolute game changer

[@AmyHowe-op4rl]

After watching this video, I bought a Gardena and Glahoden. Gardena: retraction was smoother, but disliked the plastic hose hook ups. Glahoden: metal hose hook ups, east of removing for storing away, I like the hose material better. I kept both. Will see how they keep up.

[@azzman1100]

we have Hose link front and back had them for 6yrs now and no failure one is exposed to the elements and the other under cover and both haven't failed yet still going well hoses still brilliant no cracks and still flexible only issues is the fittings that fail when attaching the nozzles o rings perish overall Hose link is costly but it's well worth the lifetime. i would highly recommend Hose link I'm in Australia w.a as we have very hot long weather and cold the casing on the hose link reels are still very solid no cracks or perish.

[@erikafalcone7692]

I have a Hoselink and a Gardena. I have had nothing but trouble with the Gardena accessories- they leak and pop apart under pressure. The Hoselink works like a dream!

[@gerhardma4297]

Is use Gardena now for more than 40 years and with the exception of a few adapters and a shower head, I have never had any problems. And the faulty parts were replaced without any problems. Plastic suffers over time and sun and becomes porous. You then have to replace it. But that's not a problem given the prices.

[@micixduda]

@@gerhardma4297 I bought new shower head and it leaks, so it can't be sun or time. I solved problem with 'stopconnector' and putting shower head on and off every time i use the hose, kind of a pain in the but, but still better than flood.

[@Hybridog]

@@gerhardma4297 Same here - used Gardena quick connects and sprinklers for over 30 years. Yes sometimes they fail after many years of use, but I find them pretty reliable. O-rings periodically need replacing and I have broken the male connectors due to my own abuse. The convenience of the quick connect is worth it IMO.

[@Feasible_Arms]

Great review. 1 suggestion. When retracting, you should release the pressure from the hose until it is fully retracted. This allows the water to escape while it winds up and prevents excessive weight from slowing it down. Also, excessive weight being placed on the bracket, which is why many of the reels have plastic brackets. They were not intended to be reeled up full of water.

[@Gatf4]

Imo that would reduce the effectiveness of the hose reel by a lot. Our Hoselink is hooked up and turned on all spring summer and fall, zero issues. Grab the hose and go and reel up when done. We dont walk to the spigot at all

[@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot]

⁠@@Gatf4 how did you mount the Hoselink?

[@Gatf4]

I just dug an 2 foot deep hole next to my house and used a green treated 4X4 with pea gravel. works perfect for us. I was going to mount it out at the end of our deck but got over ruled by the head gardener (wife/boss) but now she regrets it and she has to pull the hose all the way out to go around the deck to water one side of the yard lol @@MyweathernetreportsBlogspot

[@mimlauj6869]

Good suggestion, but I think most ppl would just try to retract the hose anyways before going all the way back to turn off the water and come all the way back and retract the hose. So I think this test is good.

[@johnk6256]

Relieve pressure then pull hose right at reel. There is no need to go back to the end of the hose🙂

[@PNWlawnguy1973]

I have three Hose links. I had one issue getting it to completely retract. Their Customer Service helped me right away and have had zero issues since.

[@cjwright1960]

[@commonlaw5400]

2024 is the second full summer for my two hoselinks. I have found retracting much more efficient when water pressure is off and water in hose is sprayed out.

[@ryadhkhan6305]

[@beri232]

[@trito408]

Great job with the review guys. It was straight forward and very informable! I have a Hoselink since July 2019 and it's been working great. My only gripe is the easy disconnect is well just too easy to disconnect. If you twist it the wrong way while the spout is open, you're going to get soaked. I also have a RL Flo-Master ($70) which I bought at the same time and it is still working fine as well.

[@Breznelda]

Nice work on the comparison, appreciate the efforts of filling 4 buckets rather than just one, proper analysis. 👍🏼

[@Evansanders859]

I have a giraffetools hose reel with 155ft, it can cover my large garden and the water flow is enough! Love it!

[@jennybaez-cepeda4919]

Thank you guys!! You guys took the work out of my next purchase ❤❤❤

[@myrusticgardens]

I love my Hoselink. I do have 2 Giraffes also, simply for the fact that they offered a longer hose length (155 ft), which I needed. This may also be a reason to go with the 1/2. They don’t lock as easily as the Hoselink, and the charcoal grey has faded terribly. Still, serve their purpose well and in general both have been GAME CHANGERS in my garden. ❤

[@Pro1er]

The charcoal gray Hoselink will turn to ash gray in one or two years if it is exposed to a lot of Sun. They sell a cover for it but then you no longer have a charcoal gray Hoselink. If they can't use UV resistant plastic then the cover really should be included with the reel.

[@abuehn]

I’ve owned the 1/2” and 5/8” giraffe. Both worked fine. No issues. 5/8” in 100’ wasn’t an option back then. Good customer service too. One reel started leaking the following year and they replaced the entire thing

[@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

We have (3) Hoselinks, with the OLDEST being by far the best of the lot. The grey ones that we got last year just don't retract smoothly and get "stuck" while rewinding -- which we've NEVER had happen with our first/beige model that we bought 3-4 years ago...

[@stephanienyingling]

I have 4 hoselinks on our farm. They are awesome. I've had them 3 years now, no problems. I do wish they had a bigger diameter, takes me forever to fill buckets some nights... actually about 20 minutes to fill up 14 5gal water buckets but it feels like an eternity at the end of the day 😆 I love that they aren't getting trampled by the horses like our other hoses were plus my stables look much more organized with them 😊

[@pablolozada3313]

I had hoselink in the past, and now Gardena. Gardena lasted longer. 5 of them....love it

[@GardenaCan]

That's great to hear!

[@Tom-ip5nt]

Purchased 6 hoselinks for our large property this year. One of them had an especially hard time reeling back in the last five feet and was constantly left out because it was so difficult. It was then damaged by a mower after being left out. Emailed hoselink and they are out of stock of the repair kit. Not having the option to get parts when accidental damage renders the entire unit useless is a huge downside for us and I feel is something a lot of people don’t consider. We now have a $249 hoselink that no one can use and cannot reel back in. Just something to keep in mind when investing in these. Check to make sure they are good about stocking parts or consider going with the more affordable options that are cheaper to replace.

[@janking2762]

You can do an emergency repair with a suitable hose connector 3:02 and some hose clamps from the hardware store. It won’t retract completely but you can use it until the Hoselink repair kit is available. Or you could get the low profile hose spring clamps and some shrink tubing backed up by some waterproof adhesive. This is essentially the Hoselink kit.

[@caveman1226]

Love how you just jump right into this and get to the meat and potatoes. No fluff, much appreciated.

[@thedirtygardener]

I have the Hoselink and I’m really happy with it. I bought a Stanley from Sam’s Club and the hose end adapter came off within a year. Very frustrating. I just gave my parents a Hoselink for their back yard because I’m so happy with the product.

I converted my home front and back hoses to Hoselink, even have the Hoselink 18mm commercial hoses for work (better water pressure and higher flow). Mainly did it because where I live in Australia fittings get too hot in summer (37-45°C most days) and blow apart or fall off. Hoselink has not failed me in the last 10 years. Only downside is the prices.

[@jaycee1373]

Warranty, customer service, parts availability , and longevity are important as well. Also, Hoselink’s portability is another plus. Easily moved from one location to another with the purchase of separate bracket(s). Unfortunately, only available in 1/2” (9/16) diameter, and longest available is 88ft.

I own 2 Gardena retractable 1/2" (13mm) reels. I've had them now for 4 years and they have been flawless. I also live in Canada and I do not bring them in for the winters.... I just drain them completely before rolling them up for the winter and make sure they are disconnected. My one and only problem with them both is the flow rate. They need to provide a 5/8" option so my pressure washer gets the water volume it needs.

Its good and solid unit and I am happy with it, definitely go for the 5/8". I don't know why you give an extra point for metal, the metal could rust also the metal bracket does not appear solid, keep in mind these units are heavy 30-40 lbs. The plastic bracket in the Glahoden is solid and will not rust. I am impressed with the Glahoden so far. The only problem is that they did not have any contact information. So if I have any issues I will have to call Amazon to get their contact information.

One thing I didn’t see in your review. I just got my first Hoselink. Absolutely LOVE it! One thing I didn’t expect and LOVE is the included spray nozzle. It’s the nicest I’ve ever used. I would like to know how it compared with the rest. Thanks!

I have not looked at the Comments just watched your video, very good overall format thank you for doing this. Funny thing is as I was looking just last month to buy something and haven't made a decision yet.

Got a 5/8” hose GLAHODEN retractable hose reel a few weeks ago after watching your video, thanks. So far am very happy with it. I keep a small towel over the handle to wipe the hose as it returns. Have the 100 foot model, have extended it out 2 times, just need to remember to shut the water off when I retract the hose. Like the nozzle, can switch to different patterns. Thanks

I’ve had the Gardena for 4 years and have been very happy. Second year, I spaced out and forgot to drain it for the winter and was sure I ruined it but 2 years later it’s still going strong with no leaks. I did have the sprayer break early on but they replaced it and it’s been fine since.

I have the hoselink 82’ and the flexzilla, I’ve had them both for maybe a little over two years now and they’re both still exceptional.
