Anchor retrieval buoy

I don't have a windlass. Hand over hand for a 35lb Bruce and 30 feet of chain is a bit of a workout.

Any thoughts on the anchor retrieval floats? Pros/cons?

One downside I can see is the room needed to overrun the anchor and pull it to the surface -- a tight cove may not offer the room.
