About Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel 1/2” x 130 ft
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
73% liked the adjustable hose guide, but 27% found it did not fit their specific hose
I was initially concerned about the pressure of the hose due to its smaller diameter, but found that it packs all the power and more.
I find the nozzle a bit stiff due to my size, strength, and arthritis. I might replace it.
72% appreciated the sleek and modern design, though 28% thought it looked cheaply made
After a year, my garden-hose-reels' external shell started fading and does not maintain its appearance when exposed to direct sunlight.
I think it's not aesthetically pleasing, but its practicality makes up for that.
70% appreciated the ample hose storage, though 30% found it could not hold the full length
My advice is not to buy this Giraffe retractable as the hose capacity is only 115 feet instead of 130 feet.
When I hooked up the hose, the flow rate decreased from 12gpm to 4gpm.
72% praised the organized hose storage
The hose is perfect for my yard as it allows me to water my garden, spray weed killer on the fence, and keep my patio and furniture clean.
I needed a longer hose and a female hose adapter to make the product work as the hose provided was short.
68% appreciated its leak-free design, though 32% experienced occasional leaks
After a few months, the hose attachment connection at the end of the hose started leaking.
After 90 days of installation, the hose connection point leaks.
I noticed that the product leaked water from the bottom in a steady stream.

71% found the materials to be high-quality and durable, though 29% experienced rusting
The outside casing and hose are as durable as those from a local home store.
After 1 year of use, the external shell of the product started fading and does not maintain its appearance when exposed to direct sunlight.
The system's quality is very low.
On the reel, everything is made of plastic and it seems weak to last when pulling a hose.

77% liked the versatility of mounting choices, but 23% found the wall-mounting kit flimsy
The hose reel is easy to mount on the side of the house or a post with its hinged setup and large bolts.
I suggest mounting it to something sturdy since it is heavy.
I am dissatisfied with the mounting options as they do not match the details in the booklet.
When not in use, the reel swings out at an angle and cannot be positioned flush to the wall.
76% found it easy to move around the yard, while 24% thought it was too heavy
I added a hose reel to my backyard at the beginning of summer for ease of use with a hose.
The reel is mounted on a 6x6 post and can move beyond 180 on a boat seat swivel.
