I finally had to dispose of my 25 and 50 foot versions of these after 10 years fo use. THe 25 footer started to get a vinal taste inthe water and the 50 foot started leaking at the seams.
10 years is a good life and I have no regrets.
I plan on getting another set of these soon.
And yes, you do need to fully reomve them form the reel to use them and kind of snake them around if you don't need the fulle length so there are no hard kinks.
On the plus side, they reeel in neatly and this process removes virtually all water from the hose. They do store nicely.
In my humble opinion, go for it if you find them for a reasonable price.
