“The hose reel is perfect as usual but I do not like the new nozzle settings.The centre setting is the one I have always loved and now on the new model it has changed and is quite useless. I will not buy anything now if it has the new nozzle on it.”
“This was installed to save the hose from abrasion around a brick corner. It works well although there's a small nuisance: the spray attached to the end of the hose won't fit through the hole, so one needs to detach it in order to pass the hose completely through the hole and back to the reel. Otherwise the guide works as expected.”
“The hose guide is not suitable for use with the brand new Gardena Superflex (kink resistance 10) hose that I’ve installed on a new Holman wall mounted, hand operated hose reel. The force required to pull the hose from the reel via the guide, flattened the hose on the reel so much so that the hose would not roll out. I have a similar device that came with a Gardena hose reel kit on another tap that works fine, albeit with an old harder high quality hose. I ordered this fitting on the experience I had with the Gardena hose reel.I recommend this product but not in the situation that I proposed to use it for. I am about to give the guide to a disabled man I know.”
