The hose is really awesome. Unlikely to save space and therefore all well accommodate. You have to completely unroll and allow to slide between your fingers after using once, to force the water to get him out of course. After that you should leave him stretched out a little, so that one, should he become wet externally, not unrolls it moist. Although I do not know if that would hurt him, but think dry rolled up and placed in the closet, it did him better. For me it is crucial that I do not have anywhere to stand around a hose wagon or a hose reel on the wall. It comes by the way of various lengths.
