Wazasked
I too bought a 30m retractable hose thinking it to be a good investment despite original price. After a few years now of limited use it has stopped retracting and has no weight on the spring. I am told this is not repairable!! A "retractable" hose that doesn't retract is surely unfit for purpose. How will this be rectified ?
1 answer
dear waz my wake up call was when my 2 holman hoses broke their springs . Their 2 yr warranty is great for a person who uses it constantly because it will break down before the warranty expires and their can exchange it but for me who treats it with respect and uses it to wash the car and a bit of watering the warranty is superflous .The units casing and quality of hose and low price makes buying it irresistible however when its internals exist of plastic parts and a spring that no longer retracts then you start looking for another hose company. I am currently using their hose between 2 brackets thats all its good for. take the time to pull it apart and you will see how poor it quality is. regards tony

Hello Marc G, I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your retractable hose reel.
Your unit should not be performing this way.
While some parts in the units can be repaired, or replaced, other parts, such as the locking mechanism and internal spring, are not.
We do offer replacement on units that fail within the warranty period.
Without a receipt, we can only take the batch number.
You are welcome to contact us thru our website if you need further assistance.
Thank you so much! :-)
Where might I find the batch number please as it was a present so I don't have the receipt?
Thank you
Marc

Hello Marc, this is located under the lid.

My hose reel rewind guide is worn (hose bunching on one side). I want to order a replacement but the only info here is to ring. Can I order a part on line? I can then check the cost, address, name and part are correct rather than guessing the other person heard me correctly. Thanks.

The hose is fully extended but it won’t retract

I've had 2 did the same, they finally retracted but not fully, went downhill from there. If it's under warranty, return it. Either get a replacement or my recommendation get your money back and get a hoselink reel
2 units, same happened to me, useless they are
I spoke to a lady at Holmans regarding the problem, she requested the number under the cover which was 17/13. She then said it was still under warranty, to return it to Bunnings and that they will give me a replacement. I haven’t done that yet because of the social distancing measures. I intend to take it to Bunnings when things clear up.

I have just purchased an 1120H why has the ability to change the hose been removed from these models?
Looking via the inspection hatch there is no longer an arm to lock the reel to carry this out .I replaced a previous model which you could, and no where on the new box does it tell you no longer possible. Also i would like to ask why is the drive belt allowed to rub on the hose drum? Thank you

Steveasked
Hey there, I’ve got a Holman 30 auto retract hose reel.
My issue is that I had a leak at the internal hose fitting. I’ve unwound the hose from the unit locked it in with the locking bars and fixed the leak(hose pulling out from female hose fitting screw on clamp). When I’ve gone to click the female hose end onto the hose reel male receptor the locking bars have let go and the reel has completely unwound. My question is, is the reel and tensioner spring resettable like a workshop hydraulic hose reel, or is the item now U/S and needs replacing? I’m hoping I can just wind the reel by hand to set the tension again!!
Cheers

Hi I have a Holman 20 1639 is this still under warranty??
The hose itself is fine, however it won’t lock in place.
1 answer
Holman I.Holman
Hello Tony, The batch number of your unit indicates the year and week of manufacture.
With this number, your unit is beyond warranty.
a batch number is only an indication of the age of the unit, it is not a proof of purchase.
Please refer to your receipt, and Bunnings will honour the 2-year replacement warranty if the unit is within that period.

Colleen Collasked
I have a XW 20 Holman retractable hose reel, the lock stopped working today, it has a date 17/46 can I take it for a replacement, it was a gift from my son and I don't have the receipt, assuming the adding of 6 months to the manufacture date can it return it to Bunnings for a replacement? Without being able to lock it is useless.

My unit failed 3 months after warranty. Considering this appears to be a common situation in the reviews and the initial Holman response was arrogantly offhand, I informed them I was making a complaint to ACCC that the unit is not “fit for purpose”. Which I did. I also informed Bunnings. I immediately got response both from Bunnings and Holman and received a full refund.
Ionel Mierlaasked
Hi, 17/46 is the number under my lid. The guide basically lost all tension after the unit kept bunching to one side and now when it reels back in I have to move it from side to side manually to try and mimic the layering action. Of course, the last few metres never goes back in.
I’m looking for the receipt as we speak, but wouldn’t think it would be more than 18 months old. Love the concept, but should have known nothing is made to last anymore. Back to the old wheel rim if the $140 gizmo can’t be fixed... cheers Yonny.

Hello John, without a receipt it is going to be very difficult for Bunnings to exchange.
This illustrates the importance of retaining receipts for warrantied products, once a receipt has been discarded, it is difficult to establish age of the product or if you are the original purchaser. The batch number of your unit indicates the year and week of manufacture.
We do allow 6 months to be added to this number, however, a batch number is only an indication of the age of the unit, it is not a proof of purchase.
Please refer to your receipt, and Bunnings will honour the 2-year replacement warranty if the unit is within that period. Thank you, your Holman Team!
check your bank statements, I returned an item to a garden centre (not Bunnings) with just the item listed on my credit card statement. It was the only item I had ever bought there but Bunnings may accept that, especially if it was the only item purchased at the time.... which it never is, who only ever only buys one item from Bunnings. Theoretically they could find the sales item in their computers from that but that would be a very long shot.
