Purchase criteria
Capacity and size
When buying the hose holder, pay attention to its size and capacity, after all, your garden hose (unless you buy the hose and holder as a set) has to fit it loosely. However, it is not only the size that is important, but also the maximum carrying weight, because inexpensive holders made of thin plastic are particularly important Not particularly stable in this regard: After all, a 30-meter-long, rolled-up garden hose is not exactly what it is Lightweight. This is especially true if there is still water in or Do not completely unroll the hose for watering and the water will run over the holder. The hose holder must be able to withstand this additional weight.
Material and workmanship
Special requirements are placed on the material of a hose holder, after all, the holder must be extremely robust and stable and be able to withstand a high weight. If you do not want to mount the bracket in the garden shed, but outdoors, the material should also be weather-resistant. This means that neither sunlight nor moisture, heat and cold should make the material pliable or porous. Here, hose holders made of metal, which are particularly durable - but also heavier and more expensive than those made of plastic. Regarding the processing, you should make sure that the bracket does not have any sharp edges that could damage the hose.
Roll-up support
Opt for one Hose reel, so the roll-up support is an important purchase criterion. In the case of simple hose holders, however, this point can be neglected. A roll-up support is the winding mechanism that ensures that the garden hose is properly wound up. On some of the more expensive models, this is done automatically, so you don't have to work with it at all. With cheaper ones, however, this system works like a vacuum cleaner: the garden hose is pulled back in with a gentle pull. Solutions with an electric motor are particularly convenient, but also very expensive.

Hose guide
The type of hose routing is also relevant for hose reels, although not every model has it. The hose guide ensures that the garden hose is evenly wound on the drum. This avoids pressure points, which in turn can lead to material damage or reduced water pressure. In addition, a hose that is wound up evenly is not stressed irregularly and thus worn unevenly.
