Bargain

Bought one. Useful as currently have hose loose which is a pain in the ass. So the reel is worth it on its own.

Be careful, if you are not using the hose for a long period i.e. you've just rinsed the car off and you've started your washing phase don't just rely on the trigger Gun to turn the flow off, turn it off at the tap as well!

 

I had one and didn't and the pressure build up caused the hose to part company with the connector.

Wow - bit of a bargain that!

 

Good find... but trying not to buy anything until house move is complete.

Ok Ok, thick train driver here

 

How does Groupon work, things are cheap, is there a catch/fee's to pay  Can one lose out?

They bulk buy, no catch or fees, can't lose out.

Might not be that great even at that price, the hose is even kinked on the picture lol.

It's a flat style hose, don't think the picture means much tbh. If in doubt, don't buy it.

It's probably a bit like my Lidl plug extension reel.  It never goes back on the reel as neatly as the first time when you buy it all nicely arranged in the shop  I am thinking this reel might be the same but we shall see,

I don't need one so I won't be, I was just pointing it out for people considering it.

HaHa yes know exactly what you mean. Like unpacking a work shirt, taking the card & clips out. Realising it doesn't fit, try putting it back like when it was packed, impossible

Bought, was looking for a flat hosepipe & my current one ways a tonne!

Bargain, as someone said the triggers can cost £10

[oxonboxn]

I had a flat hose years ago...never again. In theory...great, in practice....less so!

[laff82]

Good spot!, though to be honest I usually treat groupon goods bargains with a healthly dose of skepticism.  A lot of goods on there look to be built to a price rather then being a genuine bargain so buyer beware and all that.  Looking forward to hearing some feedback from those who have taken the plunge.

 

Very slightly OT but has anyone used the X hose shrinking type hoses, they look quite impressive on the adverts.

With it being a flat hose, do you have to unwind it fully before the water can travel through it?

Yes you do, but it's a doddle to wind it back in though

Before I had a Hozelock reel system, I bought one of these...Just couldnt get on with it at all

It was PITA to reel back in

But..if on a budget and space is limited, then they are ok...IMO
