I use the hose hideaway with a 200 ft hose.  It works really well.  Hose pulls out easily and I can wind the hose back in with little effort -- and I am a "mature" gardener.  The swivel part does not work well for me as it sits on a flagstone patio.  There is nowhere to anchor the hose hideaway.  I probably should have purchased the same hose hideaway w/o the swivel.
