Single Clothesline

I have long wanted to return to a clothesline for drying my sheets. I installed it on my rectangular back porch and it’s working wonderful. My sheets smell just like sunshine. The clothesline was easy to install and has a durable frame line. The line retracts easily when not in use. Also comes with a few clothespins.

The item is as described and works as stated. It is small enough that it basically disapears when not in use.The negative I see is in the hardware provided. Do yourself a favor and use decent hardware. The screw heads twist off or strip out easily. The anchors are not suitable for outdoor use. The Shepards hook works, but is a pain. Drill a pilot hole first if installing in wood and save your hands.On a very positive note, the unit does a pretty flat 180 degree so you can easily have it connect to one location when the weather is good and another location when there may be rain. I have a solar shed that is 65 feet long. My unit is mounted on the front of the shed and runs to a fence for good weather. It runs from one side of the solar shed to the other for bad weather as that is dry in the rain.For the price, I am happy with the unit even having to supply decent hardware.

This unit seems sturdy, easy to install, seems to work very well...except wrapping the line around the little knob providedto stop the line from unwinding further does NOT hold well.

Money saver option! I have an electric clothes dryer but it runs the bill up so though I'd get this line. I like that it's coated and retractable. No complaintes and have already made my money back on it in one spring/summer season of using it dry my clothes. Looks nice but can't address durability nor tension right now. Too soon.

Easy to install. Appears to be made well. I just started using it so only time will tell how it holds up.

We bought this after saying goodbye to our worn out rotary clothesline. The idea of a retractable line makes a lot of sense and seemed to be just what I was looking for.Installation very simple. The reel mounts to an available flat surface with a couple screws and the hook for the line on another surface. Simple, easy and quick.I installed the hook on my shed only 20 feet or so away and a second hook in another, more distant location.When you go to use it you connect the line to your hook, and then you need to loop the line around the built-in post on the bottom of the reel to keep it from releasing more line when you hang something.The problem I’ve seen is this: if you only loop the line around the bottom of the post once, it won’t hold and the line will sag.So you need to loop a second time around the post. This works fine keeping the reel from dispensing line - and it minimizes sag. When you are done and want to reel the line back up, however, the twice-looped line is caught and doesn’t want to release easily. You have to pull hard to get the line loose and I can see where the line is getting damaged from being so tightly squeezed together.I anticipate the white outer layer of the line is going to rip in a short time, and THAT will cause a major issue.Holding at 3 stars for that reason. If I’m wrong and this holds up better than I fear I will up the rating.

Great line! You have to wrap it twice on the spool or it will not hold. With the single wrap the line dropped right away. Double wrap fixes the problem.

I love this clothes hanger and it works great. Very reliable and easy to install. The only problem I have with the manufacturer is they provide cheap worthless screws to mount it with. If your drilled hole has any bur in it, these cheap screws crumble, they'll snap right off in the hole you just drilled. Then you'll have to get pliers to back it out if possible or you'll have to move the device to a new location. I would have given a 5 except for the lost time due to poor quality screws.
