I've always found Nylex better than Pope so am unsure why this retractable hose is so cheap. I have one already and find it works great. (I've only had it for a couple of weeks.)

Plenty of stock at my local Bunnings this afternoon. Stock checker here.

Description:

  • Integrated hose guide ensures even retraction without kinking, twisting or tangling
  • Requires no assembly and is easy to mount. Includes everything you need to start watering
  • 180 degree rotation on the bracket to reach all areas of your garden
  • Easily removable (from mount) for portability around the garden
  • UV Protected to withstand Australian Conditions

The Nylex 25m Auto Reel comes assembled with everything that is required to start watering. It includes 25m of Fitted Hills Hose, Fitted Tap to Reel, Spray Gun, Bracket and screws. With a level track rewind system and in-built hose, guide ensures hassle-free hose retraction. The Auto Hose Reel comes fitted with 25m of reinforced garden hose and is supplied with hose fittings for a quick and secure tap connection.

    It's been this price for a while now…

    • Ultraman on 26/02/2020 - 21:19

      Yeah. Still can't beat the Hozelock ones Masters had for $60 I think it was. Still trucking along after what is it now, 5 years?

    I think Nylex is for suckers.

    I had a really bad experience with Nylex .. it's kind of expensive, I bought a fancy and expensive 4 way hose splitter .. and .. it split .. but from the sides and just after the one year warranty.

    Cheap plastic junk basically, should be a cheap price also as you're gonna buy again and again.

    I recommend get quality that lasts for a long term bargain, or pay the cheapest prices if you're buying junk grade plastic.

        Hoselink

        • ndftz on 25/02/2020 - 23:52

          Why did you get downvoted?
          I quite like my hoselinks

          But yes it's worth mentioning they are almost triple the price

          • MLTZER on 26/02/2020 - 08:20

            @ndftz: Another vote for hoselink, yes they may be more expensive, but I’d rather pay once

            @ndftz: There is a lot of hose envy on ozbargain.

      • Gatto on 26/02/2020 - 16:50

        As a general guide when purchasing a hose reel online… look at the weight of the reel in the specifications.
        Generally speaking, the more weight, the better the thing is built.
        Expect a quality 30m reel to weigh between 12-13kg
        Expect a quality 20m reel to weigh between 10-11kg

    • LowRange on 25/02/2020 - 23:17

      Its not just you Nylex hoses are junk https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/nylex-neverkink-ga… so i dont hold much hope of them making a retractable reel when they cant even make a hose.

  • MasterScythe on 25/02/2020 - 23:26

    This, vs the aquasystems 30m?

    20m is too short, and nothing at the $70ish pricepoint from other brands.

    • ozsj on 26/02/2020 - 02:00

      Had the very same question the other day… went Nylex.

    • Fordboy351 on 26/02/2020 - 09:47

      I looked at the Aqua Systems unit but it is manufactured with low grade plastic. The Nylex one isn’t great but will last longer than this in external environment.

    • snappytom on 26/02/2020 - 19:48

      I’ve got the aquasystems and it’s junk. Only last a year and the hose is all tangled and busted up inside the reel.

  • chinaman on 25/02/2020 - 23:54

    Also anyone tried the kogan certa one? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kogan.com/au/buy/certa-30m-…

    • Gatto on 26/02/2020 - 16:41

      I have been using it for nearly 2 years now and i cant fault the quality of the reel at all. This hose doesn't feel quite as nice as some of the "premium brand" hoses, however it hasn't caused me any issues yet either.

  • tromboc on 26/02/2020 - 07:15

    I have slowly replaced everything nylex around my house as one by one every single fitting broke. The hoses kept stretching and blowing out. Poor quality all round.

    • ja912son on 26/02/2020 - 11:14

      May I ask which brand you went for?

      • jv on 26/02/2020 - 11:49

        Yes, you may…

      • tryagain on 26/02/2020 - 16:34

        Gardena is pretty decent, as is Hozelink. I think Gardena is more often better value though.

      • tromboc on 26/02/2020 - 18:05

        Whatever the cheap Bunnings brand is. Gardena I think. Ditched the brass fittings which kept losing their barbs (no joke) knock on wood I've had zero issues with cheaper plastic fittings and I feel pretty silly for spending on brand name brass in the first place.

  • megadeth on 26/02/2020 - 22:43

    Just bought two 30m Nylex hoses for $29 (without the reel) using this deal to put in my old Hozelock reels. It's <$1 per metre for reasonable quality hose!

    • LowRange on 27/02/2020 - 10:32

      Make sure you keep your receipt.

    Thanks very much OP ….. Perfect timing, the old hose reel died on the weekend.

  • stalker878 on 28/02/2020 - 21:39

    This doesn't look like the 20m and 30m reels.
    Wonder if they are trying to clear old 25m stock? Seems not as well built as the other models..

  • Bluering48 on 29/02/2020 - 11:50

    I have a Wall Mount Hand Crank Hose Reel that I have been using for over 15 years, never fails, still reliable and does the job to perfection.

  • siuol on 07/03/2020 - 12:02

    The shitiness of Nylex are seriously no joking

    I installed this morning and it's already started dripping water at the bottom of the casing.

    Even the no name UV damaged one supposed to be replaced by this is better than this new piece of crap
