Flopro Professional Metal Hose Nozzle, Chrome

I am delighted. At last, a hose reel that's made from substantial pieces of stainless steel, not plastic. Simple design; hard to see what can go wrong with it.I will never buy a plastic hose reel again.

I was reluctant to pay the seemingly high price for this item but having taken the plunge was pleasantly surprised. Some very minor assembly required by means of screwing the handle on, but otherwise ready to go. This is a pretty simple item by design but uses decent thickness of stainless steel and aluminium frame. Feels very sturdy and should not tarnish over time.Well worth the extra money versus the typical plastic ones. This feels like it will last a long time. It has an almost homemade quality about it given the sturdy build. Rarely can you buy items like this nowadays.Nowhere on the item, packaging or listing could I find information about country of origin. Any time in my experience this information cannot be found, it means made in China. I assume that is the case here unfortunately.I wound up a 25m Gardena SuperFlex 13mm hose and it could obviously take more than this, winds very easily.

This is such a massive improvement on the previous cheap plastic hose reel I've been persevering with for a few years (despite the handle snapping a couple of years ago!}. Well made and runs beautifully.I will, though, add my voice to those who're commenting about the quality of the wall brackets - truly crap. Thin painted mild steel, and supplied with steel screws. Would it really add much or anything to the cost to use stainless steel for the fittings? I'd far sooner have better fittings than spare washers (which tend to last ages and spares will be lost by the time they're needed!)I live in a very windy coastal area (Orkney) and the reel reassures me; I've binned the fixings, though, and made my own saddle clips from stainless sheet and attached using stainless screws. An extra hour work and the reel is not easily removable, but the rigidity and quality of the originals persuaded me that it would probably hang far longer if I simply started from scratch.Yes, I'm banging on about this. The contrast between the clips and the reel itself is actually jarring, and I would recommend this reel wholeheartedly if the qualities matched; as it is, unless you don't wish to wall mount, treat with caution. Does the supplier read these reviews? I'm trying to be helpful!

This is a review of the stainless steel hose reel. I’ve just received this and it seems like an excellent and well-made product. There are some connectors/brackets stored in the core of the reel - I had real trouble getting these out. I’ve not started using the reel yet but I’m sure it’ll be fine. The big question is how well will it stand up to the salty sea air where I live - time will tell. Anything made of mild steel will be rusted through in a couple of years at most.

The hose reel appears to be really solidly made using corrosion resistant materials. My only criticism (similar to other reviews I read prior to purchasing) is that the wall bracket fixings aren't as good quality as the reel itself. Despite this I still think it's excellent value for money, I couldn't find a comparable reel as good for a similar price. I've only used it a few times but see no reason to expect any problems with it in the future.

Have had plastic hose reels in the past and they just go brittle over time. This one was easy to assemble, is easy to use and quite lightweight.There were a number of comments about the wall hanging brackets being a bit rubbish. I do not believe this is designed to be used when hung on the wall. The wall hanging is just for storage when not in use.I like this and would recommend.

We have high pressure water. At last have found a sturdy hose reel that unlike Hozelock and Gardena can stand up to high water pressure.

Use four 25mm Stainless Steel Pipe Clips to mount this -supplied fixing not great
