Me, I move mine in/out of storage every year.
Practically, I'm wondering how long of a hose I'll really need. Right now the 50' hose we have isn't going to reach around the side of the house to rinse out the AC condenser unit so maybe I do need to grab one of these and a longer hose.
The only thing I don't like about it is the piece you screw onto your spigot is hard, at last for me, to get a good grasp on, those I can't get it tight enough to not leak. They really need to redesign that.

EDIT: looks like the leader hose is 5/8, but the nozzle it connects to seems very restrictive? Is that just the angle of the picture?
To be fair, I don't have this specific Gorilla model, but I figured I'd chime in simply because the construction appears nearly identical between the two reels. I do like the added part on the front that lets you guide the hose on without making your hands filthy. All things being equal, I think I'd rather have the Gorilla version.
As others have pointed out, you're probably not getting 200' on here unless it's very thin hose. I use 100' of hose similar to this [amazon.com] on my advertised 200' reel, and I *might* be able to squeeze another 50' on there but it would be coming off the sides.

The size each advertises is just the potential hose capacity.
