NWMNMom is right. The solar saddle doesn't make it any easier to get the cover on or off, it's simply a place to store it when not in use. I have them on my 24' round since my deck is not conducive to a reel, there's really nowhere to put a rolled up cover on the deck, and I didn't want to put posts in the yard to support a reel.
I built a harness for my cover that makes getting the cover back on much easier, but it isn't any help at all for taking the cover off. That is still a matter of pull a little here, pull a little there, pull on the other side, back and forth until the cover is completely off the pool.
Given the option, I'd prefer a reel over the solar saddle. If I ever extend the deck all the way around the pool, I'll do that.
