Hose is now tidy & easy to pull out roll up. Fortunately I had a helper who understood the connections required. Very happy.

my first attempt - i live rural so coming into town is very planned - i brought this product because my old plastic reel - which lasted for well over a decade eroded in the sun - i came home with my new one all excited - connected every thing up but the hose from the tap to the reel kept blowing off - ever the optimist i kept trying till i finally thought - is there even a hole for the water to come out of - NOPE - no hole - what sort of hose reel has no hole - so back i have to go - this time with a chopstick to test the others to see if there are holes in them - some didn't have holes - but i chose one that appeared to have a hole as the chopstick went right through

hose reel number 2 - get home - connect everything up - but the connections i have had fit only one end and not the other so the water now comes through the hole but then blows the connector off the other end - so now i have to go back to town to get ''new' kiwi garden connectors - hoping that they will work - whatever happened to universal fittings - this is proving extremely expensive ...for a bargain - not - and if it still doesn't work the whole lot will be taken back and i will demand a refund ...+ expenses $20 petrol for having to come in and out so many times - or should i just return it get my money back and go someplace where the stuff isn't cheap and nasty and useless - ever the optimist - sigh

Didn't last a day!!! The handle broke.Would have taken back but can't find my receipt.

We have purchased a quality hose reel and brass fittings, as well as a hose. The hose is very twisted so will require straightening, but the other attachments will be no problem at all.

Just what I wanted & expected

Great product now my garden hose is nicely tidy instead of having it lying around for someone to trip over it and it would be nice to include the hose connector with it.

Having just purchased a Kiwi hose reel I can recommend it for its quality and performence.
