I had a similar item from the same manufacturer that lasted for around 10 years, and then finally the hose connection to the outside broke.  This one is a little larger.  It seems a little on fragile side, so time will tell whether it is as well made as its smaller cousin.  You have to manually move the hose guide back and forth in order to "stack" the coils of hose.  The central hub that the hose goes around inside is only around 6" in  diameter, so the hose gets quite coiled over time and depending on the hose, can take a set.  So far there is no leakage in any of the connections.
