Kärcher CR5.330 Auto Reel

Over the years I have had so many Hozelock items go wrong but there seems to be a monopoly because everywhere you go they only seem to sell that stuff so I was pleased to find this Kärcher hose reel. It seems much sturdier and better made than my previous Hozelock reel and operates better too. Hopefully it will last a lot longer. I refuse to buy anymore Hozelock products as they are short-lived rubbish. The Kärcher was also easy to fit on the wall with strong screws provided and it slips onto the wall bracket so easily compared with the cumbersome Hozelock arrangement. The hose also looked to be better quality. I am delighted.

I love this product. I spent years getting tangled up with hoselock products. This does the best job of winding in the hose, it is effortless and takes seconds. It never tangles as it moves the hose as it recoils. Genius. Easy to install, the hose and everything else seems far more solid and sturdy than the hoselock alternatives which are everywhere in garden centres, and that’s why we all buy them. Just wish I’d bought this sooner. One request of Karcher is to sell the wall support bracket as a separate product, so people can take advantage of being able to move the hose reel, and use the same real from different locations.

I choose Karcher brand as I heard that it is the best. I waited 2 months for the product and I was so happy to get it. I barely used the hose, only to water my flowers and garden, not even 100sqm one, and I noticed that under the unit there is always water. The hose is leaking where it connects to the spray gun. I purchased a different conector wirh water stop from the Karcher website in Ireland and still the same. I don't know what to do as I only have a few months and I paid a lot of money for it. Very disappointed.

A proper piece of Kit ... Nuff Said 👍

So easy to mount on the wall, reels in and out smoothly with no tangles. Brilliant customer service.
