Rotary Washing Line

10 replies

I'm on Amazon looking for a new rotary Washing Line. They seem to vary wildly in price from around £40 - £80. I was looking at the Brabantia which is around £80. Any good? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Brabantia lift o matic is absolutely worth the money. I've had mine for 13 years and it's still in great condition. I cannot tell you how many cheaper lines I had die on me before I decided to splash out.
Get the biggest you can afford and / or have space for. We can easily fit 4 x 8kg machine loads of washing on ours so it's great for those times when you get a rare sunny day and feel the need to wash everything!

Try and get one where the central pole is a single piece.

Not sure what make mine is, I think it is a Brabantia, but the pole was in two pieces that clipped together and it makes it slightly les stable. It eventually broke so I now have a low level rotary dryer!

Thank you! I've just ordered the Brabantia - Lift-O-Matic - 60 Metres which was £90!!

Just to say, like OP, I've also been looking at rotary dryers. Have also just gone for brabantia liftomatic for same reasons as others have said.

Well it's not coming till next week. Let's hope it's worth the wait.

Ours is brabantia and is excellent. The spiders like it too 🕷️

Suggestion: depending on how easily you can put the stake in the ground, I ended up buying a very heavy umbrella stand and use that for our rotary line. A 25kg concrete one in black casing.

Stable, and can be moved around as needed. Hasn't wobbled at all, even on windy days with clothes on the line.

That's a great idea!
