I want to point out that the metal bracket for Giraffe wasn’t an option when I ordered 🤷🏼‍♂️.
BUT it is an option now and that one thing would have given the giraffe tools reels 2 extra points and would have put them at number 4 assuming all of us still didn’t pick it as one of our top 3.

THIS is how you do a review video. Multiple people. Multiple products. Smart scorecard. No bs. AMAZING JOB GUYS.

We bought a Hoselink two years ago and absolutely love it. We plan on adding more for each of our gardening zones across our 7-acre property over time. My ex-Navy husband is particularly fond of not having to manually coil hoses lol. I like that they're easy to store, it's just a matter of moving the case off of the bracket in the fall and popping it back on in the spring. By the same token, for now we have several posts with brackets installed and because we only have the one reel, we just put it in the back of the garden cart and move it as we need. Never have to worry about running it over with the mower or anything else. Hard recommend.

This has got to be the best review format I've ever seen. Quick, informative, no excessive bs, multiple opinions, spreadsheet style, and organized. A year later and I imagine that this video has helped 100s of people from reading 1000's of useless Amazon reviews. Thank you so much. I could kiss all 3 of you 😂😂😘😘

I have 2 Hoselink reels, plus lots of their watering accessories. Have never failed me, worth every cent.

Love how you just jump right into this and get to the meat and potatoes. No fluff, much appreciated.

I watched this video while trying to select a retractable hose reel. The presenters did an amazing job. I ordered the Glahoden 100 ft 5/8 based on what I saw here. What a well made piece of equipment and the packaging is top notch. The installation was a breeze. I am so glad I found this video.

We have had 2 hoselinks for around 4 years. Absolute game changer

This gladdens my engineering heart. Useful categories, fair criteria, transparent scoring, use of more than one judge, and complete follow through. More things need to be tested this way. My thanks also to your cotesters. Well done!

Two years ago I wish I had this video after laboring for hours through videos to make my purchase! Ended up with two hose links and have been extremely satisfied and pleased especially with the retracting capabilities yet my wife can pull it all the way out with ease!

Thank you for including us in this test Lawn Tools, we are so happy with the results! Just a quick update on the price, our 82ft reel is $249, and our 50ft reel is $199.

I have a Hoselink - it's been great. Did stop retracting a couple of months ago just under a year of ownership. They've walked me through some troubleshooting stuff and are now shipping a replacement to me free of charge. Only took two months because I took forever doing the troubleshooting stuff so that's not on them at all. Been a great experience. About to buy a second one.

Awesome video! Glad to have been part of this review. We'll improve our product and shoot for the top three next time😎

[Dabenport]

I've had a hoselink in the backyard for about 4 years now. Still works great. 0 issues. I recently ordered a 2nd one for the front yard too.

[stevehutchins]

I bought the Glahoden based on this review and am very happy with it. I mounted it on a 6x6 post in my front garden. As others have said, the build quality and packaging are top notch. Mounting it to the post took less than 5 minutes. It definitely had everything I wanted - at a great price. Thank you for this video

Paid $189 for the Hoselink about 4 years ago. Did some research on the product before purchase. The space i placed it in had only 2 inches to spare. This thing was a perfect fit. 4 years of a little less than average use and everything works like the day i unboxed it. Very pleased with my purchase

[SmallHoldingAtHillhigh]

We have (3) Hoselinks, with the OLDEST being by far the best of the lot. The grey ones that we got last year just don't retract smoothly and get "stuck" while rewinding -- which we've NEVER had happen with our first/beige model that we bought 3-4 years ago...

[Matt-ncyj]

Honestly, this is the best video you guys have done! Super helpful and informative.

Starting season four with my 82’ Hoselink. Love it. I water from a lake, and the pump pressure sometimes causes problems with my regular hoses, even blowing out several expandable ones. Never a problem with my Hoselink.

[azzman]

we have Hose link front and back had them for 6yrs now and no failure one is exposed to the elements and the other under cover and both haven't failed yet still going well hoses still brilliant no cracks and still flexible only issues is the fittings that fail when attaching the nozzles o rings perish overall Hose link is costly but it's well worth the lifetime. i would highly recommend Hose link I'm in Australia w.a as we have very hot long weather and cold the casing on the hose link reels are still very solid no cracks or perish.
