Maintaining a clean patio, sparkling car and maintaining a garden doesn’t have to mean wrestling with tangled hoses or clunky equipment. Giraffe Tools has redefined convenience and performance with innovative outdoor essentials.
We tried out the Grandfalls Retractable Pressure Washer Plus and the Ground-Mounted Retractable Hose Reel (1/2in, 25m). Both products merge smart engineering with durable design to make home maintenance not just easier but genuinely enjoyable.
Grandfalls Retractable Pressure Washer Plus: Power Meets Precision
The Grandfalls Retractable Pressure Washer Plus is designed for homeowners who want industrial level cleaning performance without the hassle of traditional, bulky pressure washers. It’s compact, powerful and remarkably intuitive.
Extended Reach & Long Lasting Durability
At the heart of this system is a 30 metre replaceable hose, giving you an exceptional reach for cleaning patios, driveways, vehicles and even upper floor windows. The replaceable hose not only extends the lifespan of the unit but also ensures you can upgrade or replace it with ease, no more full unit replacements just because of a damaged line.
Effortless Auto Retraction
Forget manual winding or tangled hoses. The auto retraction mechanism neatly stores the hose with a single pull, reducing setup and cleanup time dramatically. This innovation doesn’t just add convenience it prolongs the life of the hose by preventing kinks, knots and uneven wear.
High Pressure, Low Noise
Delivering 165 bar of pressure and a flow rate of 8.0 L/min, this pressure washer provides powerful yet quiet cleaning. Whether you’re blasting stubborn grime off garden furniture or giving your car a foam wash finish, it strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and acoustic comfort. No more disturbing the neighbours during weekend cleanups.
Wall Mounted Space Saver
The wall mount design frees up valuable floor space, keeping your garage, utility area or garden shed uncluttered. It’s ideal for smaller homes or anyone who values a tidy, efficient workspace. Installation is straightforward everything you need comes in the box.
Complete All in One Package
Grandfalls includes all the essential accessories from nozzles and lances to connectors so you can get started immediately. No extra purchases, no compatibility guessing games. It’s a complete ecosystem engineered for plug and play functionality.
Smart Energy Efficiency
The integrated Total Stop System (TSS) automatically shuts off the motor when the trigger is released, conserving energy and minimising motor wear. This not only reduces electricity consumption but also significantly extends the washer’s operational lifespan.
In short: the Grandfalls Retractable Pressure Washer Plus is a modern powerhouse compact, quiet and built for serious performance. It’s ideal for anyone who values efficiency, durability and convenience in outdoor cleaning.

Ground-Mounted Retractable Hose Reel (1/2in, 25m): Simplicity That Works Anywhere
If the pressure washer is the champion of cleaning, the Ground Mounted Retractable Hose Reel is the gardener’s best ally. Thoughtfully engineered for effortless watering, it’s a perfect match of mobility, precision and durability.
Zero Drilling, Zero Hassle
Unlike traditional wall mounted reels, this model is ground based meaning no drilling, no wall damage and no installation headaches. Just set it down on any stable surface, and it’s ready to go. This flexibility makes it ideal for renters, landscaped gardens, allotments or patios where drilling isn’t practical.
Quick Setup, Smooth Retraction
The breezy retract system winds the 25 m hose smoothly and neatly in seconds. With just a gentle pull, the hose glides back into the casing no tangles, no effort. It’s the perfect combination of user friendly mechanics and robust design.
Full 360° Rotation for Total Coverage
Mounted on a 360-degree rotating base, the reel pivots effortlessly to follow your movement, ensuring you never have to twist or drag the hose awkwardly. This allows wide coverage without repositioning ideal for larger gardens or driveways.
Portability and Easy Maintenance
A built in carry handle lets you move the reel wherever you need it, while the openable side cover makes routine maintenance a breeze. Cleaning or replacing parts takes minutes, extending the unit’s working life and keeping it performing like new.
Precision Watering at Your Fingertips
The adjustable 7 pattern nozzle gives you full control over water flow from a soft mist for delicate flowers to a powerful jet for cleaning tools or patios. You get both efficiency and accuracy, ensuring every drop of water goes exactly where you want it.
Built to Last, Rain or Shine
The hose itself is premium grade, engineered to resist leaks, bursts, and knots, even under high water pressure. The UV-proof case protects against sun damage and colour fading, doubling the lifespan of the reel an important advantage in the unpredictable UK climate.
Eco-Efficient Watering
With 50% less water waste, this system supports sustainable gardening without compromising performance. Every design detail works toward water conservation and long term efficiency.
