Best hose reel cart UK

Updated: 23 October 2026

The best hose reel cart UK depends on the hose you already own. The top pick is the empty Gardena CleverRoll M Easy when that hose is yours and you want a guide and a fold-out foot. The best value is the empty Hozelock 60 m cart when the hose is 12.5 mm and you will assemble the frame. Peter F. set those conditions on 21 October 2026 from saved amazon.co.uk rows. There is no lab. Prices sit on the [hose reel cart comparison](/hub/garden-watering/hose-reel-cart). A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Best if you already own the hose

The top pick is the Gardena CleverRoll M Easy, ASIN B076X38Q3X, at £79.99 with 4.5 from 2,030 reviews. It is an empty trolley titled up to 60 m, with a metal hose guide and a fold-out foot claimed. Buyers say a 50 m hose fits, they praise the guide, and they mention a minor leak and a picture-sheet build. Gardena's UK page gives the M family as 60 m of 13 mm and 35 m of 19 mm. That split is not on the Amazon title, so you still measure your hose. Skip the M if you have no hose and no connectors, because the box will not finish the job. Skip it if your hose is 19 mm and you need more than the maker's 35 m figure, which belongs on the hose reel cart capacity page.

Best value if the hose is 12.5 mm

The best value is the empty Hozelock 60 m cart, model 2398. The saved price is £49.21, with 4.2 from 1,936 reviews. A later amazon.co.uk view showed £45, and the comparison keeps the saved figure. The listing states 60 m of 12.5 mm, hose not included, and two fittings. Reviews describe a fiddly build, say a 50 m Hozelock hose fits, and warn that some joins cannot be undone. Choose it when your hose is 12.5 mm, you already own it, and you will build the frame. Leave it if your hose is 19 mm, or if you want a hose and no assembly. That split is hose reel cart with or without a hose.

When the cart with the hose is the right box

The Hozelock Plus is the right box when you are starting from scratch. It is £71.39, with 4.5 from 7,615 reviews, and the components state a metal cart plus 50 m of 12.5 mm hose. The wall is 1.3 mm, the stated maximum is 4 bar, and the listed weight is 6.8 kg. The title says it arrives assembled. Reviews mention kinks, a wheel that catches the hose, and fittings inside the drum. One review, reading a diagram, put about 1.5 m between tap and reel. The Plus has the largest review count here and it is still not the top pick. The bundle helps only if you need 50 m of 12.5 mm. If you already own a suitable hose, you would be buying a second coil.

Who should skip the 100 m title and the £23 cart

The Gardena CleverRoll L is the 100 m title, saved at £91.99 with 4.2 from 1,582 reviews. Gardena's UK page gives the L Easy as 100 m of 13 mm and 50 m of 19 mm without the hose guide. One review says 100 m of half-inch hose did not fit. Another says 100 m of 8 mm did. A further note mentions a broken handle when the drum was overfilled. Leave the L if you need 100 m of ordinary half-inch hose on the title alone. The Draper 25068 is the cheapest row, at £22.98 with 4.2 from 2,045 reviews, and it is not the best value. Reviews call it flimsy and shorter than 45 m once thickness counts, and they say hose-end fittings were missing. SPECILITE, at £69.99 with 2.8 from three reviews, is not a pick: the title says stainless and the specification says alloy steel.

Common questions

What is the best hose reel cart in this set?
The top pick is the empty Gardena CleverRoll M Easy at £79.99, 4.5 from 2,030 reviews, when you already own the hose and you want the claimed guide and fold-out foot. It is the wrong spend if the box also has to contain the hose.
Is the highest review count the winner?
The Hozelock Plus has 4.5 from 7,615 reviews, the largest sample here. That shows the bundle is widely used. It does not make the Plus the top pick if your hose is already coiled by the tap.
Should I buy the Hozelock with the hose?
Buy the Plus if you have no hose and you want 50 m of 12.5 mm with connectors. Leave it if you already have a hose of the right bore and length. The empty 2398 is the better-value cart if you will assemble it.
Is the £23 Draper good enough?
It is the lowest saved price, at £22.98, with 4.2 from 2,045 reviews. Reviews also call it flimsy and short of 45 m once thickness counts, with hose-end fittings missing. It is not the best value beside the empty Hozelock.
Does the 100 m Gardena hold 100 m?
The CleverRoll L title carries 100 m, and the reviews split. Half-inch hose at 100 m was a miss. An 8 mm hose at 100 m was a fit. Gardena's UK page lists 100 m of 13 mm and 50 m of 19 mm. Match 100 m to the bore.
