Pope

I purchased 2 Pope hose reels (20m and 30m) and am very disappointed. The hoses are poor quality, often kink and internal works for rewinding often locks. Very poor quality

I bought a hose that was braided at both sides believing that this hose would stay in place but it didn’t and it leaked water for hours before I realised it very disappointed will never buy pope again

Would be less than one star if possible. What an absolute pile of rubbish this plastic fantastic is. Worked the first time I used it (to a degree)… Read more

however the second time, it just started getting slower and slower and eventually stopped...for no reason. Was full of water...the hose had pressure. It just stopped.

This company used to make quality products however I have not purchased a Pope product worth owing for some years. I will never purchase another Pope product as long as I roam this earth. What utter rubbish they are. There should be laws in place to prevent companies like this wasting the earth's natural resources with their poor products.

poor quality – Purchased a Pope heritage 20m hose. Absolute rubbish and very poor quality as it kinks all the time, which is very frustrating when you are trying to water. I rang Pope to tell them but they didn't really care. Will never buy one again

Pope Manual Tap Timer failing to turn off after required setting – I purchased & installed 2 of the Pope manual tap timers prior to going on holidays from Bunnings at about $25 each so that my neighbor could water my… Read more

garden while I was away , what a disaster both failed within 2 months failing to turn the water off and still watering the following morning, now the water bill has doubled, do not rely on this product

These hoses don't last the distance, so keep your receipts and take them back, as they seem to fail well within the warranty period. Once they go… Read more

hard, they quickly split if you try to roll them up tight a few times.

My biggest problem was Bunnings Mudgee, where the staff at the service desk didn't seem to know about the warranty returns policy. They said I would have to organize a replacement through Pope, who said "no" when I phoned them, "Bunnings have to replace it and we fix them up."

I then phoned a manager at Bunnings, who apologized and said "bring it back and we will change it"

I have purchased expensive hoses which have also failed prematurely, but are usually less prone to kinking. I have purchased a few True Blues and none have lasted the distance. So keep your receipts.

Pope ‘premium’ hose reel fail – We hadn’t read the reviews prior to purchase, rookie mistake. All went well until the handle placement, once we did that, and had the hose attachment… Read more

in place the handle wouldn’t turn. Back to Bunnings for a refund tomorrow. Plus it would be nice if somewhere on the box in pointed out you need a connector to the garden tap.

worst product ever – I have had to return this hose twice now and still it keeps splitting on me and it happens when it gets to being used on about the third time. i did… Read more

not fold this hose when i finished using it i always rolled it and hung it. I have just thrown it out and have come to realise that i just wasted my money again.... so tired of poorly made products on the market. I didn't take a photo but you know there is a problem when the water is gushing out of a split in the join towards the end of the hose. $25 down the drain..

I have two Pope Pinnacle 12mm hoses (one 20m and the other 35m) and they have both failed and unusable. The gold Perma Fit connector which is claimed… Read more

to be super strong does not stay connected and keeps blowing of the hose when in use. I went to Bunnings and they said to contact POPE as you have a lifetime guarantee on these hoses. I have contacted POPE via email in January and then a month later in February, now April and I have not heard a thing. Poor customer service.

Not merchanable, Not recommended – Just purchased and placed in my veggie patch and the water doesn’t reach the end of the hose and it looks like it’s got pin holes randomly along it.… Read more

It doesn’t weep it floods areas & no water in other sections. I will be returning it to Bunnings! Save your money

I'm suprised this product hasn't been recalled. Very poor quality sprinkler. Constantly jams and no rotation. This is the 3rd time ive had to replace it in 3 months. Chinese rubbish trash. Do not buy Pope products

Handy – A handy small hose reel to use to water the plants on my balcony. There is a YouTube video on the assembly which is much better than the instructions on the box.

Still rubbish despite years of user's complaints – I bought one of these 2 months ago and I'm having the same problems it appears people were having 6 years ago. Tips over easily on average water… Read more

pressure, but worse, it is rusting internally. I'm returning it to bunnings tomorrow. Clearly just more junk that was never tested for its sole intended purpose. Should be illegal to sell junk like this in Australia.

Not worth the extra money – I bought a pope jumbuck hose for the 7 kink rating, it is horrible, kinks and twists all the time. With arthritic hands I thought this hose might be easier to handle, but no. Don't waste your money on this hose.
