I used this for a 100' commercial grade hose (meaning it is thick & heavy).  Maybe it's the weight of the hose, but it barely fits on the reel.  I purchased it mainly for the wind-up feature & price (lucky to find it on a "Daily Deal") since it stores a hose that is used infrequently.  If I had to use this more often, I think I would be frustrated & concerned it wouldn't last.  It is flimsy & wobbles when winding it making it a bit of a challenge for a heavy gauge hose.      

Pros: Winding Feature & Price 
Cons: Flimsy/ Wobbly, Advertised to hold 100' hose- not so much!
