Though it was great in the beginning, the seals leaked (we did get a replacement sent once), the trigger sprayer broke and then the retraction mechanism stopped working (broken spring). It had passed the 2 year warranty by the time the retractor broke so not covered. Sadly they are not as reliable as the reviews would have you believe. I was only… Read more
able to write a review on their site after I had purchased but of course, now that it has broken and is past a certain amount of time, I am no longer able to provide feedback. We threw it out eventually since it was falling apart. Recently thought I might as well bother to contact them and see if they are able to offer anything but just got the standard spiel from the chatbot. Really disappointing.
Ive had my hoselink 3000 30m hose reel for almost a decade and it works as good as the day I installed it. Ive worn out a couple of hand sprayers but he reel still works fine. Show reply
Yes, I had the same problem with all the spray guns, even after following the dismantling and servicing instructions. To be fair, when it happened to the first couple, Hoselink did send replacements. However I had the same problem with those ones as well, so after all that I didn't bother and purchased new ones from the local hardware store.
Purchased a retractable line reel and fittings, 2 metal guns and various fittings to convert another hose about 5 years ago. All good for about 2 years then the leaks started in all the fittings, attachments and the 2 metal spray guns. I have spent a fortune in spare parts/repair kits with expensive postage. No more, after just getting soaked… Read more
again watering the garden the lot is going into the garbage.
I have tried to log in to your site with my email I used to purchase to check on what I've ordered and spent but system does not recognize my past account. Good way to shut out old complaining customers?
I should mention the hose reel itself is good, it's ALL the fittings that are the problem.
Wish I had purchased Gardena in the first place. Don't be fooled by all the positive reviews, they are from buyers who have yet to encounter leaks.
Oh and if you think you can repair with parts from Bunnings, no way because Hoselink fittings are cleverly not adaptable.
Hoselink Love/Hate – I really have a love / hate relationship with Hoselink! The hose reel itself is awesome probably the best retracting reel out there! But everything else is a pain! I don't like how nothing else fits unless it's attached to a Hoselink adapter. When the fittings leak as all fittings end up doing or there is a hole in the hose its a major frustrating… Read more
operation to correct! The gun only lasted a few years before it started to stick so you have to wait for it to turn off. This was a house warning gift so I have no proof of purchase.
Awesome customer service how every company should be – Reel broke small belt that guides the hose, even after a year out of warranty, hoselink stepped up and fixed it for free, you cannot get better service than that. They truly look after their customers, even gave me new cover as mine was getting a bit weathered, will only get hoselink products from now on. Just awesome guys :) thankyou. Show details · 1
Retractable Hose Reel and Spray Gun Do Not Last – We brought 3 complete retractable hose reels about 2.5 years ago. All 3 spray nozzles do not work, and 1 hose reel does not retract at all. I am not contacting Hoselink as my products are all out of warranty, but it is a shame being an Australian Company that things just do not last. I now have a very ugly hose reel with a hose wrapped around it.… Read more
I was hoping to get a product that had some longevity, rather than become more plastic rubbish for the environment to deal with.
great value – Bought one about 8 years ago. always worked well. eventually fell apart. I called Hoselink and they gave me a great discount on a new one, which is stiil going strong after 12 months. Show details · 1
Best quality products on the Australian market – Just replaced my 11yr old 30m retractable reel. (It won’t lock out now) Love the product. It sat in full Melbourne weather uncovered year round and has outlasted 3 other different brand reels from Bunnings, which were protected undercover. In no way am I complaining that my old one broke. All the original hose fittings from the old reel still work… Read more · 1
perfectly and have been reused around my house.
Also just changed over all my hose and tap fittings because I just got sick of the standard click connections bursting off under pressure. No leaks and no unexpected bursts since and that’s exactly why I went to hoselink. (The only complaint I have is that I should’ve done that years ago instead of persisting with the cheap rubbish ones...) My pressure washer now doesn’t leak one drop which is unheard of with click connectors.
I feel much better supporting Australian owned and made products rather than continually buying cheap imported parts that are destroyed by Australian conditions in a just few months. Delivery was fast pretty fast.
I think you’d gather from my review I’m extremely happy with hoselink and highly recommend it.
Great but a fatal flaw in design – These hoses are great and I note they get amazing reviews. I would be interested to see peoples reviews 2-3 years on as a auto retract reel breaks and is a cheap plastic part. Once broken it renders the hose useless. Imo they need (for the price you pay) to use non plastic parts Show details

Pay a little extra and get a lot – A quality product that does what it says and continues to outlast any other hose reel I’ve had before. The plastic does not fade, the fittings never leak even with industrial punishment and it retracts all the way with out tangles every time Show details · 1
Fantastic setup - couldn’t be better! – This hose is the greatest hose i have ever had. It does not kink and the 30 meters is a great length. Fully retractable is a wonderful feature and it always winds up perfectly. Show details · 1
Speedy delivery – Our hose was delivered within a week , was easy to install and is great to use, retractable is amazing. Sometimes the water does not come out, not sure why, I have to unplug and then re-plug it. Show details

Happiness with my 30M retractable hose – It makes life so much easier. Yahoo a retracting hose is such a relief after years of manual hose storing. It’s a shame that I didn’t get it later to qualify for your $80 giveaway. Show details · 2
OMG why did I take so long to purchase!!! – Hoselink should be so proud of their Aussie made product - great quality and sturdy!! Our water pressure was just awful, not any more, we've had no problems anymore and love not having to struggle winding up the hose anymore or having it laying on the ground! Keep up the good work!

Greta investment – I live in rural NSW and often are subjected to water restrictions. Having such a quality hose makes the task of watering easier. Love the retractable hose too. I had no idea how much joy could be generated by using a hand held sprinkler nozzle which doesn't leak. Show details
Shonky bad discontinued line – hose came on the reel the reel jammed constantly it blew holds through the hose no replacement was offered in 2007 it was bought by a friend who gave it to me at that time I couldn't get it replaced nor could they it was a case of buy it by him gave it as a gift and have the problems of a shonky product its now been turfed complete rubbish any wonder it was a discontinued line Show details

Was everything that was promised! An excellent product! – Was the best purchase I have made this year. An excellent product, great back up service, and would recommend it to any perspective purchaser! The extra fittings and the ease of application is a great asset The durability of the hose is great and the anti kink is like no other hose! Show details · 1
Great product. I've purchased 2 – These are well made and reliable. Only had one small issue but it was easily sorted out. A rubber washer came off which caused the join to leak. There were plenty of spares and Hoselink were happy to supply more. Gone are the days of tangled hoses lying around the back yard. The fittings are solid and there is a variety for different purposes. Really like them. Show details · 1
Fantastic! – I already knew about the benefits and advantages to this product before buying on myself, having used a family members previously. This product is worth the money and everything you see & here is correct! I am proud to have this hose mounted to my brick wall at home. I am that satisfied with my Hoselink HoseI will be buying another one later in the year as a gift. Show details · 1
I have found Hoselink to be honest in dealing with customers – Approximately six years ago, when Hoselink were first putting their Auto rewind hose reel onto the market, I purchased a 30 metre one. This failed to do what it promised. The hose easily punctured several times and the retraction didn't work well, so I rang them and without too many questions they sent me a new one at no charge. I believe I've had… Read more · 3
this one for about five years. I'm pretty idle sometimes and often when I had finished watering, I'd drop the hose end where I finished, which left the hose unwound and in my wife's way, so I purchased a second auto retractable hose so I have one on the North side and one on the South side, which are rewound each time.
I changed my hose fittings to Hoselink very early after seeing their design, so everything I use such as my Karcher pressure washer are fitted with Hoselink. I've never had a problem since changing over.
I'm quite annoyed with myself, because the design of the fittings are typical innovative plumbing design, so because I served an apprenticeship as a Plumber and earned the highest grades in Plumbing Design and Quantities, I could kick myself for not designing these myself. So well done Tim Kierath, you're a Star in my books.
To those who complain about price, you get what you pay for..!!!
short life – thought product was good at first but at about 3 & half years old it failed - guide jammed & stripped sprocket. Not used a lot & always careful on retraction speed. Hose link offered reduced price for new one but don't see why new one won't also fail after a few years. Now thrown away. Recommend do not buy if you want long life
