I have no opinion about that hose reel.  I'll ask, instead, have you
ever used one?  I can't stand them.  The hose is always retracting,
which is a pain.  I'd much rather have a short hose.  With your
garage, even a couple fixed points would let you use a 20 or 25 foot
hose, which is short enough that you can unplug it and coil it up
neatly.
