About Giraffe Tools Metal Hose Reel
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
69% liked the adjustable hose guide, but 31% found it did not fit their specific hose
I appreciate the adjustability of the reel, especially the level winder that can be adjusted by sliding it over if it's not winding neatly enough.
I noticed that the plastic switch on the plastic guide has already come off once and it feels flimsy now when you flip it.
The plastic switch on the guide feels flimsy and has come off once.
The hose reel is not adjustable and can only handle lighter weight and shorter hose lengths, making it unsuitable for longer hose lengths.
72% appreciated the ample hose storage, though 28% found it could not hold the full length
I can attest that the solid metal construction with some heft ensures that the reel can handle coiling a long hose.
The 100ft hose that came with the unit tends to get tangled up inside, despite making adjustments on how the hose tracks.
I noticed that the hose reel cannot hold as much hose as it claims.
79% praised the organized hose storage, but 21% thought it was confusing to use
The solid metal construction with some heft ensures that I can handle coiling a long hose.
Whenever I reel the hose in or out, the handle falls off easily.
76% appreciated its leak-free design, though 24% experienced occasional leaks
The garden hose reel is leak proof and does not lose any water pressure due to leaks.
If the replacement fails, I will either go back to plastic suncast ones and replace every year when it inevitably leaks or just leave the hose on the ground.
78% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 22% experienced rusting
I decided to spend a bit more money and get the metal version of the product. I am extremely happy with it as everything that matters in this product is made of metal, including the outside, the reel itself, and the angled hose attachment on the inside at the reel.
I am concerned about the product's durability as most of its moving parts, including the gear mechanism, are made of plastic. I doubt it will last longer than 3-5 years.
72% liked the versatility of mounting choices
I have used a wall mounted reel and a ground mounted reel before buying this Giraffe hose reel. There is no comparison between the previous reels and the Giraffe reel.
I praise the mounting options of the garden-hose-reel, especially the outside connector where the hose attaches to the hose bib and the reel.
