Garden hose reels are divided into wall-mounted and portable types based on their portability.
Wall-mounted hose reels require tools to secure the reel to a wall or pole.
1. Save floor space
By fixing the reel to a wall or a pole, you can save floor space. Perfect for small spaces.
2. Stable operation
When watering, we only need to pull out or retract the water pipe as needed. The water pipe keyboard is fixed to make the operation more stable.
3. Easy to take
Because it is fixed on the wall, it can prevent theft on the one hand, and on the other hand, when using it, you only need to pull out the water pipe directly, the position is fixed, and it is easy to take.
1. Difficult to move
Before installation, you need to fully consider the installation location. Once the installation is completed, if you want to change the location of the hose reel, you will need to spend more time and effort to remove the hose from the wall and install it elsewhere.
2. Limited scope of use
It cannot be installed in a car and taken to other places for use. The scope of application of wall-mounted hoses is only in the garden.
Portable hose reels can be moved around and very flexible.
1. Portability
You can move it around the garden and take it to other work sites if needed.
2. No installation required
Just open and use it. Some garden reels on the market also support hanging the reel on the wall, which is usually only used for storage and needs to be taken to the ground when in
use.
3. Flexibility
For gardeners who only need to water the garden occasionally, they only need to take out the portable hose occasionally for use and put it back into the storage room after completion, which is more flexible and faster.
4. Lightweight
The portable hose reel rack is made up of ABS case and PVC hose, which is easy to carry and move. It's also waterproof and convenient to clean. Don't worry about it makes your car or house dirty. One hand can pick it up. You can take it out or for travelling.
1. Instability
Portable hose reels are usually lightweight and when we pull most of the hose out of the reel, the weight of the reel is reduced and the reel may tip over when we move the hose.
2. Manual operation
The water pipe needs to be retracted manually after use, which requires more effort and energy.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you generally only use it in the garden, have a higher budget, and like to save energy and time, then the wall-mounted hose is more suitable for you. If you only use it occasionally, the garden area is not large, you want to save ground space, and have a lower budget, the portable garden hose is more suitable for you.
