It hides my hose nicely and is easy to reel back in when I only unreel a small amount of hose, but when I unreel the entire hose (100 feet) it takes two people to get it back on the spool straight.  The hose guide is useless and I end up using my hand.  It takes one person to reel it and keep the hose straight and one person to feed the hose in while keeping it taught.  Not ideal, but better than the old way of coiling the hose up into a pile.  

Pros: Pre-assembled, top flips up to access hose reel, folding handle, thick plastic
Cons: takes two people to reel long hose back in, hose guide is useless
