Mini/Compact Hosepipe Reel

[jellybeard999]

I'm looking to buy a compaxt hosepipe reel for driveway use - watering a few shrubs, washing the car, pressure washer etc.

I need something that sits flat to the wall and doesn't stick out too much. 10m should be more than enough hose.

Are the micro bore type Hosepipes any good? Would they keep up with a domestic pressure washer?

Currently looking at https://www.hozelock.com/product/pico-reel/

Any recommendations?

probably depends what you water pressure is https://www.copely.com/tools/flow-rate-calculator/

my mains ~2bar, pressure washer needs 10L/min so a micro/9mm hoze wouldn't work even over 10m, versus 15mm I have with a run of ~30m (which I cut down from original 50)
