Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel 1/2 Inch x 130 ft, Super Heavy Duty, Any Length Lock, Slow Return System, Wall Mounted and 180 Deg Swivel Bracket

This is a very good and sturdy hose reel. My only complaint is the difficulty attaching it to the house. It would be better if it would detach from the mounting bracket. Overall, it retracts very well and without issues. The nozzle provided is pretty decent for my usage. It has a nice appearance that kind of blends in with my house.

Great hose reel system. Easy to install and very easy to use. It works so well I bought a second system.

I’ve had this Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel mounted on my porch for just under a year now and I’m overall very happy with it.Mounting was super easy I attached it to a wooden porch support post and the included hardware worked perfectly. Took maybe 15 minutes total with a drill and level — no issues at all.The swivel feature is excellent. The whole reel turns smoothly so the hose doesn’t get twisted or kinked no matter which direction I’m watering. That’s a big convenience I didn’t realize I needed until I had it.The retraction mechanism works really well too. The hose pulls out smoothly and retracts neatly without any tangling or fighting me. It’s satisfying to use.The 100ft hose length is more than enough for my yard and garden beds. I can easily reach every corner of my property without dragging around a heavy hose.The only real downside is the spray gun that comes with it. It feels cheaper than the rest of the reel and unfortunately cracked after one season of regular use. I just replaced it with a better one and the reel itself continues to work great.Overall this is a nicely built hose reel — sturdy, well-designed, and reliable. I’d still recommend it, especially if you plan to upgrade the nozzle anyway. Definitely a 4-star product for me.

I am changing my rating to 5 stars for this company’s outstanding customer support! They are honoring their 2-year warranty and replacing the assembly!————-We initially liked the retractable hose. It is long and retracts easily. However, in less than a year, the hose is failing. It is not durable. It blisters and bulges and prevents water from flowing. I have left a voice message because no one answers the phone number listed on their website, but doubt my call will be returned. The photos show the bulges, but when under pressure, they are much larger — about an inch and a half wide.

I bought this in May 2022. It is an okay product. Over time the retraction component will wear down (which I am highly disappointed in how quickly). In my circumstance, it won't retract the last 10' or so feet. I am also noticing there is a small drip starting to happen internally to the box. It is extremely difficult and cumbersome to take the box apart to address any issue inside the box. Frankly, its not worth the hassle to take it apart and fix it, I did that once and won't do that again. Its a decent product for the price, but it just won't stand up over time.Good things about the product:- Hose quality, no rips, tears, etc. (would love a model with a flexzilla type hose)- Swivel feature (it could swivel better with different components, but does the job for the price)- Fairly compact (I have mine mounted inside my garage on the wall)- 2 year warrantyBad things about the product:- Retractable feature (it is very fast until it gets towards the end and then it slows down, or won't finish retracting the full length- Not owner friendly to work on, any internal components are not meant to be accessed easily- Internal hose connection is dripping- Long-term durability (issued started arising about 1 year of ownership)-

Appears to be a quality item and very compact out of the way hose reel. Got the 1/2 inch hose, it was all I needed. No problems yet, heard of problems kinking when retracting but go slow and manage the speed. Would buy again.

This Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel (1/2 Inch x 155 ft with 5 ft leader hose) is exactly what I needed. It’s sturdy, well-built, and retracts smoothly every single time.The 155-foot hose is the perfect length for my large backyard. It reaches everywhere without dragging across the lawn or getting tangled. The automatic rewind is strong and controlled – no wild whipping or kinking. The included 5 ft leader hose makes connecting to the faucet super easy.I mounted it on the side of my house and it looks neat and organized. The build quality is excellent with a solid metal frame that feels like it will last for years. No more wrestling with a heavy, messy hose!Best garden purchase I’ve made in a long time. Highly recommend this hose reel to anyone tired of dealing with traditional hoses. Worth every penny! 🌿

Awesome hose reel! Hose is easily portable and easy to retract and extend. The supplied water nozzle is solid. Has cleaned up my porches due to its compact storage.4 stars due to the instructions says to use 7/16” drill bit but 3/8 could be used if necessary. 3/8 can not be used. Destroyed the anchors due to small bore and had to use extra anchors I have at home.

Defective item replaced within two weeks, and works fine now. I appreciated the response from the vendor.

Nice replacement for my old wind up hose reel.

Hose is ok and easy enough to install but the supplied bolts and especially the supplied anchors were terrible. The anchors wouldn’t tighten I had to go out and buy my own for another $30 on top of this. Really disappointed for such an expensive hoseEDIT: then company reached out to me on their own accord and gave me a really fair and viable resolution so I have upped the review with this in consideration.
