Those reels work really well. I had one for a number of years. One thing to keep an eye on is rust in the middle of reel (which you can't see when hose is entirely / partly reeled up). Even if there is no leak at the connection a wet hose reeled up can contain moisture. It never occurred to me that it may rust even though it was metal, as I assumed the paint / coating would protect it. By the time I noticed it was pretty far along and I just used it for as long as I could.
