rotary line thingy, is it worth getting a decent one or will basic one do?

[brimfull]

brabantia one
i can get 25% off that price but is it worth the extra ££

Unless the washing line irons your clothes and makes you a cup of tea that is extotionate amount of money for a washing line.

Go to Argos or B&Q

Our cheapy one is about ten years old. Yes it wobbles around in the ground and squeaks a bit but does the job

Brabantia definitely.

Shop around online. I got a big one last summer for about £80 from Sainsburys online (with free delivery). It's great!!!

I've got this Brabantia one drilled into the wall so I can't see the washing from the house. It carries a full load of washing no probs.

It was worth every single penny. I am not the sort of person to get excited about a clothes drier, but I blardy love it.

Wow. I wouldn't pay that price, not even at 25% off.
I've used cheap and I've used a more expensive version (bought in clearance sale, think it was around £70/80 full price).

The expensive one is lighter, sturdier, bigger and seems easier to set up. I am pleased with it but it did just cost us around £30 in the sale. My clothes dry just the same as on a cheaper version though.

I'd look around more and see what there is. Maybe you can get a similar version much more cheaply.

Depends on how much you put on at once. if you only ever have one load on per day then the cheap one will do.

I used to end up with 3 or 4 loads on the same line, and I went through 2 cheap ones before I got the brabantia.

Go by how much space they have. I had a more expensive one that I could fit 3 loads on in the summer and 2 loads in the colder weather and still have enough air flow to dry the clothes. When that died I bought a smaller, cheaper one. I can get 2 loads on it at best on the driest of days and wish I'd spent a bit extra. (Not as much as the one you linked to though).

god yes the one I linked to is ridiculous price

think I will get abrabantia one

thanks for replies

Um... how do you get 25% off please?

Not sure I'd bother with a model with foot pedal. I've used a similar Brabantia since 1984 - all that I've had to replace has been the line. I don't know how many cheap rotary lines I would have had to purchase over that period.

ive got the brabantia lift o matic one and its fantastic. i especially like how easy it is to raise and lower. i would never buy another brand now. i bought mine on ebay

ChateauRouge-dd is JL partner as she works in waitrose so get 25% off as relative ..tis fab, unfortunately she's resigning in a few weeks ..sob!

Ah blast... don't think JL take 5yos!

How could you let her resign?

DS worked in JL in 6th form and first part of gap year. It was tragic when he left and I lost the 25% JL and 15% Waitrose discount. Travelling on a gap year, pah!

yy lily that's what dd is doing...cow!!

I also have the one that hangs on the wall. very pleased with it.
