Auto Reel 2595 40m Hose

I first bought the Hozelock Auto Reel 30m back in 2011, and it has served me well for 14 years. It still works today, but the reel no longer locks in place and rewinds itself if disturbed. When checking my order history to determine which variant to buy, I realised I had the 30m version, but the mounting bracket on the new 40m model I just purchased, despite being longer than my need, is identical — a big plus, as I didn’t want to drill new holes. In fact, I didn’t even need to swap the bracket. In everyday use, these auto-retract hoses are a real time saver. Once you’re finished, the hose rewinds neatly and effortlessly. The hose quality is excellent too, and my original has certainly proved its durability. There’s also a provision for a padlock to prevent “permanent borrowing.” I fitted one years ago and had to cut it off recently because it had rusted solid — a sign of how long this reel has lasted! Overall, I’d highly recommend this product. Fourteen years of reliable service is impressive, and I’m confident the new one will be just as good.

I doubt you need me to give approval of Hozelock products however this auto real is excellent. I purchased another hose as i wanted it further away from my outside tap and it only came with a meter long feeder pipe. Easy to fix and straight forward assembly. Beware it is quite heavy, I would recommend using washers on the wall fixings when mounting. It is quite expensive but you really do get what you pay for with hoses, I have had other brands that didn't last and had leakage issues. Typical pay cheap buy twice but not when it's Hozelock.

Very good, useful product, but the screws and 3cm wall plugs provided are quite inadequate. Use 80mm hammer screws. Why the 85cm height limit? I see no purpose there, for it no explanation either. I fixed it higher to avoid obstruction and it works very well.

This hozelock autoreel is just fantastic. This is excellent value for money.This has an automatic rewinding mechanism inbuilt. It has a kink resistance built in the hose. The design of this has clean lines to it. It fits in my garden so nicely, i love it.

Bought this to replace our old manual winding Hozelock (15m) hose as we really wanted to go beyond the rear garden and have scope to get to the front of the house to wash the car, water the front garden and clean the front patio. It was pretty straight forward to install (all of the parts are contained under the side cover) and comes supplied with a variable jet spray nozzle (which I replaced with a Hozelock Multi-Spray Ultramax), a short length of tap connection hose, two hose connectors ('regular' and 'water stop' valve - which I replaced with metal 'Pro' versions), a screw tap connector with adaptor (again, replaced with a metal 'Pro' version) and 4 x 50mm screws with 7mm wall plugs which - given the weight of this (17kg empty) - looked mismatched and basically not up to the job... but if you drill them tight to the specified 7mm into a good solid wall surface, combined, I found they were absolutely rock solid on our brick wall (drilled through the brick, not the mortar). To use, it takes a few goes to get used to the 'locking to the length you want' and 'rewinding' procedures but you start to feel how it works and then it's easy. The mechanism winds the hose in and distributes it evenly on the enclosed reel as it does so. It's pretty clever in that regard. And of course, the whole unit is detachable from the wall bracket (lockable with a padlock) so that it can be stored during the cold months (which is highly recommended to extend the life of the unit). The hose itself is Hozelock's finest 'Ultramax' and... well, time will tell... but I expect it will outlast the lifetime of the unit if looked after. Downsides? Well... firstly, it's [neccessarily] big and quite heavy... so make sure you know what you're letting yourself in for in that regard. Having said that, once it's installed and folded against the wall, the size of it oddly disappears and it just becomes another bit of plastic garden kit. Second, it's easy to be put off by the supplied screws and wall plugs. They really don't look like they will hold it up and having read some reviews on here, they haven't... but I feel this may be an installation issue. Make sure you mount it on a good wall, drill accurately and to instruction and you'll be fine. Get your own beefier anchors if it inspires more confidence in the product, but in my view, that won't be neccessary for most applications. Third, the shape of the wall bracket won't allow for some electric screwdrivers or drill screwdriving to be used without risk of wrecking the screwheads. I used a 12" long 'old school' 'Pozidrive' screwdriver and screwed them in manually but it was hard work! And then lastly, ours leaks a little bit... somewhere within the casing that I can't really get to without voiding the warranty probably... but again, it's not a real deal-breaker as it's not a lot and it is mounted above our perimeter grille drain so it's dealt with. I'll keep an eye on this because if it really starts to wee over the next few months, I'll probably hassle Hozelock for a replacement. Other than that, It's excellent and a joy to use. Highly recommended. ** Review Edit 1** Okay, so it's been a week and a bit... and it has started to properly leak internally. I would've tolerated it if the leak continued to be a dribble as the hose retraction still worked perfectly and water pressure was still good... but it's turned into a fountain at the Auto Reel end so I've requested a replacement from Amazon, who's legendary customer support was again, superb (Hozelock's support phoneline incidently, is constantly engaged). New one arrives tomorrow. Hopefully, leak-free. Will keep you updated. ** Review Edit 2 ** New one arrived... swapped them out. No leaks. Sorted!!

A small part of my roof is thatched so having a long hosepipe for emergency use is essential. My old hose started to become brittle and crack after decades of use. As we use various Hozelock sprays we decided to buy the longest Hozelock hose with enclosed reel and auto rewind. This has proved much easier and neater than our old hose that was coiled onto a hook mounted in the wall. Installation was simple enough although access to the mounting screws makes tightening them awkward. The hose reel is still new with limited use. So far it works perfectly, but if I encounter any problems I will update this review.

Had an issue when I first used it that it was dripping quite badly. Opened up the internals, easy 60 secs job, and tightened the screw on the internal hose in the housing of the auto reel. Issue with quality control but once sorted it I was so impressed with the product that it could only get a 5/5 stars. Just think if it was not leaking it would have managed to get 6 out of 5 which for the mathematically challenged is an impossibility! Does everything that you want from a hose. Pulls out and holds the hose. Easily retracted when you snatch/tug and let go. Super easy to attach to the wall. Quite heavy so requires drilling into the brickwork. Attachment kit (screws and plugs) provided where rubbish so used my own. Come on Hozelock, you've created a masterpiece here only to let it down on cheap screws and some dippy person on the production line who has the strength of a child tightening the hose screws. Sort it out, now! Super tidy and easily hidden away in a corner of the garden. Only problem waiting for summer. Seems to be raining all the time. Definitely worth its weight in gold.

Har nyss monterat den. Känns bra det lilla vi använt den.

Très bon produit, enroulement facile.

Robusta, muy buena calidad a precio inmejorable. Funciona correctamente. Práctica y cómoda para recoger. Fácil colocación. Recomendable 100%

Je cherchais ce type d'enrouleur mais avec une longueur de 40 mètres par rapport à la disposition de mon jardin. Matériel de bonne qualité (à voir dans le temps) et pose ultra simple avec l'aide à découper dans le carton. Je mets 5 étoiles car après de nombreuse recherches en magasins spécialisés, je n'ai jamais trouvé la même longueur de tuyau et surtout à un prix bien inférieur.

Aunque es un producto caro, la verdad es que vale cada uno de los céntimos que se paga por él. El rebobinado funciona a la perfección y la manguera es de goma de alta calidad, nunca hace nudos. Por un problema tangencial, tuve que contactar con el servicio técnico de hozelock y la atención fue impecable, cosa que hace tiempo que no me pasaba con ningún servicio técnico. El único problema que le veo es que me parece demasiado pesado para colgarlo de cualquier pared. En nuestro caso, optamos por atornillarlo a la pared, pero de forma que quedase apoyado en una mesa para que se repartiese el peso.
