“The reel is fine and retracts well. The plastic bracket is cheaply made junk though. The reel housing with the 30m hose is a heavy unit and snapped the bracket off the wall. The bracket was securely fastened and 2 corners remain attached to the wall. The bracket had broken off from those corners and the reel crashed to the ground. It beggars belief that this could’ve been designed using such a weak and brittle plastic that has no reinforcing. Our $300 reel is now lying on the ground, hopefully not broken, until we can find a way to get it mounted again but I have no faith in the Hoselink brackets. Very disappointing as we bought 2 of the Evolve reels just after they were released.”
“The new reel is another piece of well engineered equipment. Would like to see a base plate for free standing mounting post that could be bolted down onto concrete slab. Thanks”
“Looks good and works well much easier than dragging acoil do up hose along the grass which is really good for this 90 year old woman. Best idea ever.”
