Anyone that moves into a house that Chris has owned will be for years finding all types of gadgets and neat things installed all over the property. Except of course this hose reel that he took with him. 😉
I bought the 82 ft one 2 years ago as well. We use it every day and it still works like new. At the end of the season I drain as much water as I can out of it and store it in the basement so there's no damage from freezing. This year I will probably use a compressor to fully get the water out of it and store it in the shed.
I was just looking into these and searched for your last video a few weeks ago. I thought it was something you installed at the new house. My memory is going on me. LOL I think the beige one is perfect for our back yard. Thank you again.
Dear Silver Cymbal, I've had the HoseLink for two months now and we love it. Before HoseLink, ff we wanted to hose something off, it was a big deal. Get out the 50' hose, hook it up, connect the nozzle, use the hose, disconnect the hose and nozzle, drain the hose and hang it back up. My wife avoided it. Now, grab the hose pull it out into the drive, use the hose, give it a tug, let it wind up and done. Effortless. Its a keeper. Thanks for the into.
Bought two of these after watching the original video and put them on vinyl posts too. Fantastic look. Ending up buying a third to get to garden on far side of my property, connecting to another hoselink. Lose some pressure because of the distance but still a fantastic solution. This is one of my favorite channels on YT. Keep it up!
When I rewind (similar type reel), I loosely hold a rag around the hose at any point where the hose can keep off the ground and let it rip to clean off the debris and grass clippings a wet hose usually picks up. Keeps that wind up stuff clean and working without jamming or slowing down for years.
Based on your recommendation I bought a HoseLink to install in my garage to reach out into the driveway for washing cars and the like. I got it installed today and as soon as I pressurized the unit water started spraying out of the unit on the hose inlet side. I removed the side panel and a white fitting looked like it extruded an O-ring. I have to admit I was pissed at the time. I came in and emailed their support staff with a picture and a description of the problem. Within 30 minutes I received a response with an apology and a diagnosis that the fitting was broken and not easily repaired so they were going to send me a new one. I just received a notice from UPS that my replacement will be here tomorrow. I understand that mistakes happen so support is key and you just don't get any better than this. Kudos to HoseLink and I am really looking forward to using it. It looks great, by the way.
Sorry for the issue, they are a good company like that. Im glad they took quick action. That's great to hear, especially in a world where a lot of service has just gone away. Thanks for sharing this.
I got this about 2 years ago as well after your first video. This year the thumb switch on the sprayer snapped in half. Recoiling the hose takes some work, I find draining the water and pulling it fully out then recoiling it as the water empties from the hose will allow it to fully coil again. Wasps like to enter the bottom and build nests inside and you would need to open it completely to remove them as there is no easy way to access it. Some discoloration has happened from being in full sun as well. I do drain and remove it during winter. With those minor issues though it still works great and I’ve heard neighbors walking by admiring how cool it is.
I bought 2 of these in April of this year after doing research and largely due to your previous review, I do think they are made well amd good quality but on one of them, I keep having issues where it doesn't retract all the way in, it gets stuck with about a foot left and it drives me nuts. I have to pull the hose pretty far out and then slowly guide back in and still often it still gets hung up at the same place. Usually after a few attempts it goes in but man it drives me crazy. Oh well, that is life. Thanks for making great videos. I always learn so much!
Thank you, the only time I have ever seen that issue is when I am only pulling say 5 or 6 feet out. However as long as it's more than that it will work well, it's not a bad idea to exercise the Spring a bit to its full length. You certainly shouldn't to spend any amount of time maintaining this and I would say to contact them for warranty if you feel its not right, they are a nice company to deal with so definitely be sure you are happy with the purchase.
I installed a couple of these type of hose reels for someone years ago. I forget the brand. They both failed very quickly. I opened one up to see what was going on and if it could be fixed. I found a few solid plastic connectors that hose pushed onto but the connectors were not barbed nor had clamps on. Such a simple oversight that caused them to leak and fail.
Thanks, Chris for another great video. Macnaught is the best, but expensive. That wall mounted PW is junk. Better options from the originator, Obsessed Garage, solved the wall mount setup long ago.
There are two other cheaper brands that don't have any issues as well. Aylied and Giraffe have lasted 7 years with no issues. As long as you take them down in the winter. This is also in direct sunlight.
I was looking for info on the Aquor setup, as that what I have at my home. Did you have to buy that adaptor (as seen at 1:29) from Hoselink or from Aquor? Or is it necessary to buy at all, meaning does the adaptor that comes with Aquor initially work as-is?
Couple of questions 1. Where does it ship from? 2. How far away can it be from the water source it's connected to? 3. Typical ship time to U.S. Thanks.
Hey Chris, can you connect a standard hose fitting on the sprayer (output) end? In other words, can I use a standard sprayer or quick connect that's not proprietary? I looked on their website and it doesn't clarify. Thanks for all your great videos and tips!
Yes both ends of the hose have a standard garden thread fitting on them. You dont have to use their quick disconnects at all if you don't want, and you aren't locked into a special fitting size. If you extend the reel end to end its a normal male-female hose on each side
I am going to be looking into something like this after I move into my new house next month, so I am curious how this hose is different from the regular 5/8 you mention. Thank you.
Is there a risk of damaging property when the hose is retracting? Like say you accidently start retracting it could the hose end flail around and bang into your cars while rewinding?
There definitely could be. The directions always say to walk it back, I think its t help protect the spring, but personally I do it so the hose isn't covered with debris
European here. I don't think that's a 19mm hose or at least what we call 19mm. We call hoses by their inner diameter and this looks more like a 13mm or 1/2 inch. 19mm is equivalent to 3/4 inch.
No, there are multiple fake channels using my logo, stealing content etc. I have a law firm working on this since TikTok could care less but eventually a lawsuit will force them to pay along with the folks doing this. Many channels have this happening to them but it will eventually end with all the folks involved getting hefty fines.
I had a much different experience with mine. I had ordered and was busy traveling before I could install. First time I used it wouldn’t retract. The mechanism wouldn’t reliably re-roll the hose. As I started to look to figure out what the problem was, I started to notice how cheaply this is made and knew it was going back. Contacted customer service and because I was 3 days outside the return window they wouldn’t accept. (Remember I was traveling when it was delivered). Very poor service IMO . Then they offered to send me a brand new one as a replacement which I subsequently sold with the original one. I’ll be getting an Eley hose-reel to replace

I bought one because of your last video and glad I did. I have it mounted to a post and it's so easy to use, don't need to bend over.
I remember your original video on this, wow 2 years goes by fast. Thanks for all the great product info over the years. ❤🤘
I've been using Hoselink reels for the last couple of years after issues with other brands... I'll never go back. They've been great.
I purchased the 82 ft model last year and it is everything that Chris claims in his review! 👍
For clarity 82 feet is 25 meters. 100 meters is 328 feet. That said, 82 feet is a good-sized hose.
Damn they got us with them euro numbers.
Thank you.
lol
I had to rewind the video and make sure I wasn’t crazy, then drop down a couple comments to yours.

Because of your thorough research and excellent presentations, I’ll be purchasing a 3rd Hoselink.

I love your channel. Just random useful information for homeowners. Thank you.
Im excited for that wall mounted pressure washer review
This is a compelling video, and I don't even have anything to water. Might get one just in case

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
Great review in detail...Thank you for sharing!!!
Welcome to NH Chris, I love your video's. Thank You
Appreciate the update.
I bought two of them or your recommendation and I love them , thanks again
All these comments s9ld me on it. I wasnt sure how this thing would hold up with the elements and age. Can't wait to put it to use.
You will be very happy with this one. After 20 years of messing with garbage reels this one has been amazing
You know you get a Thumbs up from me! Great video as always! ❤
thanks for the update...need to get one for my wife to water the plants.
It takes a few minutes to install it, but you will love it for years. Beats fighting those loose hoses.

I like that you have had it 2 years and it is still holing up will 👍, but for now, my hose just lays on the ground behind the rhododendrons 🤔😉😉👍
Hoselink - a great Aussie brand.
We want to see a review on the water pressure
I feel that pulling it out is the best method... Especially for a thicker hose
Thanks, Chris for another great video. Macnaught is the best, but expensive. That wall mounted PW is junk. Better options from the originator, Obsessed Garage, solved the wall mount setup long ago.
Just curious if anyone has run a pressure washer with this hose?
There are two other cheaper brands that don't have any issues as well. Aylied and Giraffe have lasted 7 years with no issues. As long as you take them down in the winter. This is also in direct sunlight.
Durability im my opinion means reliable...which is always good when you live with people who treat the hose differently.

Does it provide enough water to use with a pressure washer?
82 ft is 25 m. Thanks
How do you find the stud through the siding to mount it securely
I only see the 50ft, 15m and 82ft, 25m versions?
How does the similar Gardena brand compare?

1. Where does it ship from?
2. How far away can it be from the water source it's connected to?
3. Typical ship time to U.S.
Thanks.
How does it handle Hard Water and 120 degree Hot weather?
82ft is not equal to 100 meters.
I knew I should have stayed in school. You are correct its 82feet or 30 meters

@@SilverCymbalDoes the hose work adequately with a pressure washer?
I bought one based on your previous video, but had to return mine. The flow is just anemic compared to the regular 5/8 hose.
I am going to be looking into something like this after I move into my new house next month, so I am curious how this hose is different from the regular 5/8 you mention. Thank you.
please elaborate
Glad you mentioned that, I noticed that when he was hosing down the truck. I still prefer the old 7/8-in. hoses.

Great reel, my only issue is unless I cover the reel when not in use, animals (birds/rodents) will set up shop inside the opening
82 ft = 25 meters.
19mm is almost 3/4"
I assume he meant 17mm
Just out of curiosity… where does the channel name come from?
I'm guessing he's a drummer in another life. If not, then I'm with you on the question.

Next make a review of the Ego Dirt Bike.
I am dying to see that thing. My kids would go crazy
@@SilverCymbal Are you sure about giving it to your kids? It's supposed to be able to go to 28mph.

I've lived in my current house for 15 years and I still don't own a hose of any kind.
100 meters is more 275 ft...
Love the review but 82ft is not 100m (1:17). 100m would be ~300ft

1:14 82 feet = 100 meters? 🤔🤔🤔
The hose is elastic.
@@markm8188it stretches from 82 ft to 328 ft?
It should say 25 meters not 100m
Cool, but two years is not long enough to rate it for longevity. If we pay over $200 for a reel, we want over 10 years longevity.
