| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Glad I Bought It I really like my clothesline! I hung it between my privacy fence and my deck, and it's the perfect spot for it; I like that when I'm entertaining, I can just let it retract and it's out of sight.
That said, it could be better designed as far as the retraction goes.
The problem comes in when you're not using the full 40 ft. When open and in use, you have to loop it around the little pedicle at the bottom of the housing to keep it from retracting and to keep the line taut. However, looping it around and keeping the line super-taut at the same time is nearly impossible, so the line does sag a little too much. Because I hung the line so high up, it's okay as long as I double my sheets when hanging them, but otherwise they would drag on the ground. In effect, it takes longer for sheets to dry.
I would recommend using this clothesline, and I plan on purchasing another one of these. But I think the manufacturer should consider fixing this little glitch. + See Full Customer Review |  |
