2 out of 5 stars Bad locking mechanism   October 1, 2008
Big Kid
This is a fairly well made and affordable laundry line. I'd be very pleased with it, but its line-locking mechanism is insufficient. It's designed so that you tuck the line around a little catch, but this friction hold is insufficient to suspend the weight of a normal laundry load. You put a pair of jeans on the line and the line slips and sags to the ground... every time. This design could be corrected if they were to add one or two more friction points to wrap the line around.

I think I'll keep it and add some hooks myself to make up for what the product lacks. I'm hoping this will fix the problem. They really need to deal with this, because as it stands, as much as I'd like to, I could not recommend this product to anyone.



5 out of 5 stars GREAT CLOTHES LINE   September 14, 2008
K. Thompson (Seminole, FL United States)
Very sturdy, easy to use. I only need 30 feet of line and I like that it can be taken down when we move. I attached it to our house and then the other end with the hooks provided to a tree. Line stays tight by wrapping the line around the bottom built in hook. I am very happy, it does sag when I have a full load on it, but so did my old stationary clothes line.

I've used mine this whole summer and it is holding up just fine. A prior review mentions that the line does not stay taught. I experienced the same until I re-read the directions and now I have no problems.


1 out of 5 stars Two failed in two weeks   August 18, 2008

Purchased two. Hung both. Used once. Went to use them again in two weeks and spings on both had failed, even though fully retracted.
I do not recommend this product.



2 out of 5 stars Doesn't work for anything under 40 feet.   August 13, 2008

We purchased this clothesline for a space under 40 feet. When the line is out for any length under 40 feet it is not taut, so when you put the clothes on it it falls to the ground. We are returning this clothesline.
