    I bought one a while ago. The hose is very thin and crap, kinks very easily.

    I ended up getting a Jamec Pem hose reel, much thicker and less link prone, very happy with it.

      Thanks for feedback.
      Did you compare Jamec Pem to Hoselink by any chance?

      Also noticed a couple of reviews saying Jamec Pem water hose is restricting the flow.
      It looks like hose inner diameter is 10.5mm compared to 12mm in Hoselink.

        I have not seen a hoselink in person. I have avoided them like the plague because of the non standard fittings.

        Probably making a mountain out of a molehill but my existing spray gun is clipped onto my house reel without an age adaptor, so there's that.

    Hozelock is another really good branch for this type of gear but neither Hoselink or Hozelock can be easily obtained for this price point. I have one of the large (30m I think?) Kogan Certa reels that work surprisingly well, but also owned one of the small ones which was crap. Lots of variation in the market

      Agreed, I think that it does come down to budget.
      I've owned so many sh!t hoses over the years that I'd manually loop and store every time I used them, cheaper ones kinking, moreso in higher temperatures.
      I decided to bite the bullet, pony up and have zero regrets.
      Not a huge fan of the Hoselink connections, but a cheap adaptor keeps my old accessories still useable.
      Next Hoselink sale I'll be buying another one.

    It's not a pro tip, you pay ×10 more so expect to last x5 more. It's like telling to buy a milwaukee tools.
    Oh wait, milwaukee actually way better than hoselink.

      Fair enough, it's my opinion, not a fact.

        Unfortunatly, can't negative a deal based on opinion. Not everyone cashed up or have the same needs.

    Yes, you can, but you need a water pump.
