Advantages: Good bit of kit, simple, and effective. Disadvantages: Not a one.
This review is on the hose mender by Rehau.
You may think you don't need one of these, you may well be right of course. I thought so too, and having messed about in my garage for hours, using bits of copper pipe & Jubilee clips, I finally decided to get the proper kit.
The Hose Mender itself is nothing special, it is simply a means of attaching one end of a hose pipe to another, in a short length. It does this very well, and although I have forgotten the price, it can't have been much more than a couple of Pounds.
It was easy to do the job. and I have no regrets either, it is just a plastic fitting, nothing more, nothing less, and it is there to do a job, and it does that job very well indeed. You will see cheap and usually very nasty versions of these fittings around, but at this price you may as well go for the Rehau. You ...

Advantages: Compact flat hose, can use when on reel. Disadvantages: No good when there is a hose pipe ban.
I have tried a few hose pipes over the years.
The standard round hose pipe on a reel with wheels. It kinks and twists and it takes two people to wind it back onto the reel and then finding somewhere to store it because their quite bulky.
The springy one was great to start with, then it just stopped springing back. So i was left with a long over stretched hose with no place to store.
Then one day i was flicking through the thousands of tv channals we have these days (only about 10 useful) and i saw the Magna Flat Hose.
Price was £22.95 from QVC
What caught my eye was some huge truck ontop of the hose and the water was still coming out impressive or what. (am i easily impressed or what)
So 3 days after ordering my Magna Hose it arrives in a cardboard box. Quickly opening the box and getting out my 75 foot hose i was ...

Advantages: Easy, convinient, flexible, good value for money, made by a top quality brand Disadvantages: Might have to buy other fittings as these are not very strong.
the hose can harm plants. You should try to imitate rain water when watering your plants.
A simple ratchet makes sure that the hose only rewinds when you want it to. The box contains;
1 x Autoreel
1 x 20m Length of hose
1 x Wall mounting bracket
1 x 2m Length of hose
1 xHose nozzle
1 x Threaded tap connector
1 x Waterstop connector
1 xHose end connector
The great thing is that not only can you use it for your garden, but you can use it to wash your car as well. Maybe there are other things you can use it for as well. In the Summer months when the weather is hot you can spray your children and chase them around the garden with the hose.
It's a fantastic purchase that is simple to assemble and mount. Each time it perfectly retracts and layers the hose and it has never let me down. It is just so easy to pull out and lock ...
