A garden hose which rolls up easily: do you have one?

After 7 trips to garden centres for hose fittings, and calling in a plumber, I now have an outside tap and the hose fits without leaking!
However, winding and unwinding the hose from its holder is always a battle and for the last 2 weeks I have given up and it is an unsightly striped snake on the grass.
Does anyone have a hose which behaves and is easy to use and tidy to keep?
The ones which can be hung on a wall attachment look attractive but cost a lot. Do they wind easily?

I had one on the wall in my last house which worked quite well. The one I have now is a free-standing one which I find a bit of a faff as it moves around but otherwise it still works. I always have problems every year with the spray fittings which never seem to last well and always leak - end up buying new ones every year!

I will be buying this next - when my current awkward hose gives up the ghost.
