Retractable washing line recommendations?

17 replies

Sugarhouse · 14/05/2019 22:13

Can anyone recommend a decent retractable washing line. I’d ideally like one with two lines. Amazon reviews are mixed and I don’t want something that’s going to break easily.

Probably not "New from JML!"

You don't say if you want indoors or outdoors but if indoors this one is good for over the bath/ bathroom. You could have two side by side.

I just bought one from Argos with two lines, had it for several years and it’s absolutely fine still.

Is it for tying up or strangling him?

Hi, check this out. I have had mine since 2011 & it’s brilliant.

Another vote for the Brabantia wall fix. I love mine.

Another vote for Brabantia

For the love of all that is good in the world, don’t get Minky. I hate mine so much. It is the worst designed item I have ever owned.

StickOfRhubarb · 15/05/2019 21:20

@princesspond is this the one you have? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8501240

Is the Brabantia like a full size whirligig? I’d love to get rid of mine but until I saw this I had no idea what I could replace it with.

FrogFairy · 15/05/2019 22:06

@RaptorWhiskers it is not as big as the full size whirligig, it has 24 metres of lines. This link to Amazon has a diagram with the measurements. IIRC the outside line is about 4ft long, also it does not twirl but this hasn’t been a problem.

I have a 12kg washing machine & can get a full load on the airer. It’s brilliant plus I can close it away & it doesn’t look unsightly. I’m not one for looking at washing lines!

Princesspond · 15/05/2019 23:30

Rhubarb yes looks just like that!
