My husband and I bought a 28m hose reel for our home. It's fantastic. We can pull it out to water the garden, clean the cars or top up the pool and there's no coiling the hose back up to be left in a pile, it gently retracts into its case leaving the garden looking stylish and tidy. Looks to be very durable compared to our "ordinary" hose and I'm confident this will stand the test of time! Couldn't be happier with out purchase!
