The Hozelock auto reel solves a nagging problem that many people have around their home- garden hose storage. Hoses can be exceptionally difficult to store because of their awkward shape. Twisting and curling a hose with the intent of storing it in a perfect circle on the ground often leads to distress. Automatic hose reels like the one from Hozelock solve this issue by offering a contained place to store your hoses while keeping them available for quick access. Most hose reels today require users to crank a handle to reel the hose in. Also, users often have to manually guide the hose in as they crank as to not cause a jam. Hozelock has designed a reel that does away with these pesky problems altogether.
Hozelock Auto Reel Overview:
The auto reel by Hozelock does not require manual cranking. Instead, a powerful spring attached to the internal barrel 
winds up the hose for you. The spring only engages when you push a button on the side, allowing you to easily pull hose from the reel without resistance. The auto reel can be mounted to a wall fixture that allows the reel to rotate 180 degrees, following your movements around the yard. This rotation also allows the reel to face the direction that the hose is being pulled in. The Hozelock reel keeps your garden hose contained in a sleek green container between uses, keeping it off the ground and out of sight. Users only pull out as much hose as they need, saving time and energy. Let’s take a look at the two different models that they offer:
Hozelock 2490 Auto-Rewind Wall Reel
The 2490 is Hozelock’s largest model, intended to be used in large yards with lots of ground to cover. The company includes a 65 foot garden hose with the reel that matches the reel in color. At the end of the hose is a small retainer ball that prevents the hose end from being reeled into the container. A handy multi-use sprayer handle is also included. All 65 feet of the hose except for the end are concealed within the structure between uses, tidying up any yard in minutes. A barrel inside the reel holds the hose which wraps around it. A spring system turns the barrel to pull the hose back in without any effort on the user’s part. The reel is mounted to a fixture which can turn 180 degrees to stay pointed in the direction of the operator. This reduces the chance for jams and wrapping around bushes and objects. After you pull out whatever length of hose you need, the hose locks into place. Everything comes fully assembled and ready to use- just mount the reel to the wall next to your spigot and connect the leader hose to it.
Hozelock Mini Reel
Designed for the small to average yard, Hozelock’s mini reel includes over 32 feet of hose. It functions in exactly the same way as its larger cousin, featuring a spring loaded return mechanism and spray nozzle. This smaller design is best suited for individuals with smaller yards. A reel is superior to a hose hanger because they hide the hose from view and require no twisting.
