Gardening Is Easy With Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

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.

...from any direction straight from the wall. Also because it's flexible you can water the front or back garden without any leaks even if you use the full mains pressure. If you have a bigger garden you might find that the length isn't long enough, but it's good enough for my garden. You receive a 2 year guarantee for complete peace of mind. You can expect to pay anything from 54.99 GBP although I've seen it sold for more and also for less. The product saves time and energy that you would usually spend rewinding the hose yourself. Even though these are usually sold to trade they are excellent for home use as well. Especially if you do a lot of gardening or just want to treat yourself. I have joint problems and I've found this very helpful because it makes the hose much easier to use. It is quicker and much more convenient than it would be...

Review of Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

Amazing flat hose.

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...

Review of Magna Magna Hose

I have a curly hose! .. Update.

Advantages: See list.
Disadvantages: See list.

...but read cons, If you don't need the flow, then you can join two together, or even more. Easy to stow, no need for a drum. Cons Small diameter (3/8") and all those curls means more friction, so less output. You can't just lay it out & let it water your garden without pegging it down. Just to explain that bit, if you have a normal hose and want to feed a sprinkler forty feet away from the tap, you run the hose to it, turn the tap on, & have a cuppa. With this system, you need to stop the hose from flying back towards the tap, not a great problem but something to be aware of. If your flow is not great then the output will be reduced. Although the length is 50 feet you can only use it practically, up to about 45' - anything more and you are struggling against the "spring" effect. One thing to remember, is that as the plastic hose...

* Send for the Hose Mender! . .

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...

In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Review of Hasbro In the Night Garden Ninky Nonk Train Set

Fantastic value hose reel, seems good quality.

Advantages: Good quality, at a good price.
Disadvantages: None

...Ok, so the end of November might seem a strange time to buy a garden hose reel set, but mine tends to get more use washing a muddy dog & dirty cars, especially at this time of year. The previous hose reel I had, has recently given up after a number of years of sterling service. The handle had fallen off the winder, and there were a number of punctures in the hose pipe, so it was time to find a replacement, I cannot remember what make this one was, but it was cheap, and must have lasted at least 6 years, so I cannot complain. I found the Hozelock 25m Compact Hose Reel at Focus DIY for a very competitive £25. As well as a pretty sturdy, plastic, floor standing reel, you also get 25 meters of yellow hose pipe, and all the connectors you need to get the thing plumbed in, plus, an adjustable spray nozzle. The yellow hose is very flexible...

Hose me down

Advantages: long, strong and durable
Disadvantages: no attachments as standard

...Being a garden lover and extremely proud of my lovely lawn in most summer months, this year excluded it has required watering on a near daily basis to keep it looking lush and healthy. Not having an outside tap means that I have to run the hose from my kitchen at the back of my house down the garden and when I need to water the front garden, around my house. A long hose was needed and I found the solution in the Rehau Green Lawn 30 metre hose. Made in the traditional style with with no frills attached the Rehau hose is made from an incredibly durable plastic which has an 18 braid reinforced structure to made it feel solid to the touch without water running through it and this reduces kinks and subsequent reductions in water pressure. The only real issue an entry level gardener may experience with the hose when first buying is...

Hose about that then! ..

Advantages: It passes water as it should
Disadvantages: None

...This review is on the most boring of items, the humble garden hose. However, you would be hard pressed to get by without one, and even though there seem to be millions on the market, quite a lot are of the cheap & nasty type. This one though is pure quality, no frills, but good stuff. Size:- The bore is as always half inch, or twelve & a half millimetres if you are modern. The length is 15 of your earth metres, or fifty good old feet. Weight:- 2.6 kilos, or 5 & a half Pounds, This is a good sign of quality, but not too heavy to cart around. Price:- about £8 or so. Colour:- Old fashioned green, nothing wrong with that. The hose is advertised as having greater kink resistance, extra durability, and having 18 braid reinforcement, while still being light weight. I do like the way this is smooth hose, the textured type...

Review of Rehau Hose Holder

Power corruption and hoses

Advantages: Very well made
Disadvantages: Prone to kinking

...going you have to have access to a ready water supply. The prospect of endless trips with a watering can quickly becomes one of the least attractive options and in this day and age there is really only one alternative ... THE GARDEN HOSE, you have just got to get one. As far as garden hoses go, there is really only one name that matters and that is the marvellous Hozelock and its accessories. When I got a hose, I went for the best one I could afford and opted for Hozelock's 30m hose and carrying cart - a real monster of a beast. I've been extremely chuffed with it and it's been of excellent value, BUT... In retrospect, the 30m hose has been a bit of a mistake. I thought I would need that amount of pipe but it's a bit over the top and I've just got about 10m of hose that has remained curled up on the carry cart ever since I got it...
