SilverlineHose Reel 45m Capacity (547900), Green

Tricky to put together but got there in the end after a few choice words !

Had a few issues putting together struggled to get the holes lined up to insert the small pins which then kept dropping out eventually won the battle tho. Quality pretty much as expected for the price.

It is what it is, I needed something cheap in a pinch to tidy the hose off the ground and bought this! It was a cheap alternative to all the other more expensive products! It takes effort to roll the hose on and off the reel, if I use the handle I’m afraid the whole thing will fall apart- so I don’t use it I turn the wheel manually! But when the full 30m of hose is on the reel it’s gets very heavy and harder to turn making it fall over (so use your foot to hold it down).For now it’s manageable- but will prob more than likely have to upgrade to a better more user friendly reel at some point! I will likely use this until it (or I) completely snaps (that’s just what I do)!Overall, grand and cheap in a pinch, but would prob chose to buy a better one if I was starting again!

I don't use this item for a hosepipe (although it would probably be fine for a small backyard/garden with a short hose) I needed this for electric tape fencing and for that it is perfect. There is plenty of capacity for a whole reel of tape and keeps it tangle free. The frame is stable enough to reel it all in and to pull it out without difficulty.One star lost for assembly which needs care and requires some force. This isn't the first reel I have put together, and would recommend putting the part on the end of the handle, which is the last part to be fitted, and is the piece that goes from outside into the centre of the frame, into hot, but not boiling water (carried out, of course, by an adult with suitable safety precautions!) for 30 seconds or so to soften the plastic, It then fits in easily.

Absolutely dreadful! My existing hosing doesn’t even fit, even though it’s standard size. Awful to set up and feels like it could break at any moment - and that’s before I have to buy some more hosing to fit the stupid thing! Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Excellent once you get it together

Says guarantee forever. Comes as a flat pack . The plastic pins keep falling out as there isn't anything to secure them. All clicks together with no tools but is a real faff. My hands ache. I should just have spent £55 on a hose and trolley in B&M. Much easier, especially if you have arthritis in your hands. If I have any issues moving forward I'll update this review

Liked the item, shame it arrived damaged / parts missing.
