I have one in the back of the garage that we used for half a season. First, you have to have all the hose off the reel to work or you get very little flow. As mentioned, to get all the hose back on the reel, you have to be very careful to get it reeled back up. Turned out, it was more trouble that it was worth. Yes, I am lazy, like most of us. I don't mind working, just not at mundane jobs like hook-up and un-hooking.
I had one that was flat and the edges started leaking. as said, can't just use 7 ft. of it, gotta unroll it all.

If they ever prefect the "expandable hoses" I will be right there. I have started getting them a Walmart, as they can be returned. The last 2, 50 footers have lasted almost a full year. They are real handy for washing the MH and cars, rather than trying to drag the 75 foot lifetime hose around and hang it back up after using. I have left the newest one pressurized for a couple of days at a time and it is still holding up for now. Now that I have said something, it will probably go south.
