They reel in differently with hot water the hose goes where you point it.

I think one major problem with automatic spooling would be the grit and debris that sticks to the hose especially in wet weather.....so having to stand with a cloth in your hand while it reels back onto the reel seems the only solution to this. The grit has to go somewhere once it is reeled in if not cleaned while reeling it back in.

There's just no need for automatic spooling....how easy do you want to make this job?I often use anti bacterial wipes that I have in the back of my van when reeling in for hygiene purposes esp if I'm not wearing gloves....

🤔As easy as possible - you know that better than anyone! You’re always banging on about hot water, extreme poles, light brushes, part time hours, heated driver’s seat etc. The list goes on!

Automatic spooling is a step too far...........

Unless your fitting into vans for staff, you can really save your hard earnt cash and make one yourself, with a hose guide as well.
Your saving energy and a slight bit of time by using one and thats even standing next to it with a rag, cleaning the hose from grit as it winds in.
Many a  window cleaner has done a diy version and they work very well.  I had mine for a couple of years before i sold it all on (could be wrong but its still in use as far as im aware).
I ran mine of a seperate 12v 110ah leisure battery (all be it, trickled charged from a solar panal on top of the van and periodically (through winter months) with a smart charger over night on the drive.
