Gardena 18614-20 66 Foot Auto Retractable Hose Reel on Metal Spike, Feet, Standard, Turquoise

Super dévidoir a visser en terre. Bon matériaux. Qui s'encre bien en terrasse en bonne profondeur. Le déroulement et l'enroulement automatique est génial. Je recommande !

Attaches easily, allows easy watering, rolling up is OK. Slight downside on installation - the plastic base is not perfectly made, there are NO screw threads or inserts, so impossible to fix the two parts with the screws provided! I had to place threaded inserts myself. Also, make sure that the entire metal spike is in the ground, so make sure that there is nothing underneath.

I absolutely love my Gardena spike-mounted water hose! 😍 I'm a complete "girlie-girl" and not the type to assemble anything. However, after watching a couple of helpful Youtube videos on how to assemble this spike-mounted water hose, even I had no issues installing it! 😁 PROS -easy to install. One person can install it on their own and it does help to watch a couple of YouTube videos regarding the installation -super easy to reinstall it in any other grass/ground location if want to relocate the hose reel. Unlike a wall-mounted hose reel, this spike-mounted reel won't leave marks in the ground for long if you want to relocate it (whereas a wall mounted hose reel will require patching up the concrete/wood surface where the reel is mounted and possibly painting over as well to hid any holes from the screws) -the retractable hose reel works smoothly! So many other brands of retractable reels cause jams or kinks in the hose that require manually retraction (that's annoying and defeats the purpose of a retractable reel in the first place). Not the case at all with this Gardena model -it's stylish and unique!! They don't sell this model in any stores here in the GTA so nobody else really has it unless they order this reel off of Amazon. I've already had neighbours and contractors complimenting this hose reel! -you can keep the entire hose reel outside during winter (simply empty the hose reel of any water). However, if you wish to keep the hose reel in your garage/basement/storage during the winter time, you can easily lift the main hose reel compartment up from the base metal spike, keep the base metal spike in the ground during the winter and simply store the plastic main hose reel compartment. I find that convenient so that it saves me from having to remove the ground spike in the Fall and reinserting the ground spike in the spring. CONS -a couple of minor cons: I'm not crazy about the spray nozzle that came with the hose reel. It requires twisting the nob to turn the water off and on which I find a bit tedious - attached is a video to demonstrate. So I "upgraded" and bought the Gardena 7-in-1 spray nozzle where you only have to press the nozzle to allow the flow of water (no twisting of the nozzle required!) -I found the plastic metal tap adapters that came with the hose reel to be a bit leaky. So I bought the Gardena universal metal tap adapter and that solved everything! No leaks, super easy to install, and also metal lasts longer than plastic especially over time with large temperature fluctuations here in Toronto between our winter and summer seasons Overall I highly recommend this hose reel! Super happy with it!

Quality product, smart design, solved our needs, and good value. We have a cottage garden without irrigation so we need a watering hose that we can "take" around without dragging it on the ground. Our current gardening hose get snag on rocks, gravels, and plants. We have been searching for a quality retractable hose because we think it would solve our problem and yes it did! The unit is stake into the ground instead of your wall. It swivels so we can go to either side of our garden as we have it mounted near the middle of the garden. The retractable mechanism is very intuitive. The unit is heavy so it anchor itself, doesn't flop around. Installation is pretty simple, just a few parts to assemble. The hose is 66 feet long which is longer than most of the hoses we've purchased (50' is standard). The who thing feels solid. We notice water dripping around the base but we need to just check the connection and install washer or plumber tape. The watering handle is not the best but not bad either. Would I want a better handle? Yes, but I can get the exact one I like. Highly recommend and would buy again.
