Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line, Grey, 2x15m

Product Information

Other clotheslines and airers from this brand include indoor airers like the Minky 3-Tier Indoor Airer Plus and clothes horses like the Minky X Wing Indoor Airer. The housing for the three lines is very thin and flat, and once mounted on the wall, you hardly notice it’s there. Looking closely at the line though, if you’re a parent, you’ve probably had a near heart attack as your kids run under a low or drooping washing line that nearly catches their head, and imagining what could have happened. Actually, a lot of the most modern retractable washing lines can be used in the house as well as in the garden, but some might have casing/housing that is a little on the large side and might not look great in the house, especially if is a bright colour that doesn’t fit into your home décor.

We’ve even got a colourful ironing board collection to help you easily remove those stubborn creases. If you like the sound of the Beldray but would prefer a double line, you’re in luck as they also do one of those. Each line can be pulled out individually and also locked using a little slider above it on the housing. The action of the line being pulled out from its casing works very smoothly on the Vileda Cordomatic, and you are able to lock it out at a length of your choosing.Simply hang your clothes up with pegs, cover up and turn on to see your clothes dry in as little as 90 minutes.

It’s not bad though and when compared to it’s direct competitors it’s pretty much inline with their washing line quality. The other important consideration is the construction of the product and how long it can last in good condition. So, you’ve aways got a large load to dry at once, but you can’t bring yourself to shell out for the Brabantia Wallfix. Of course, manufacturers and designers have found ways to limit the weaknesses in these materials, and you can get weather resistant plastics, and metals like aluminium that won’t rust and steel with corrosion resistant coating.So as you go through my site you'll watch me document some of the professional garden installs I make as well as the major projects I take on at home.

That’s not to says that the the Soreli Retractable Clothes Line isn’t worth a look but the problem is the design is very similar to the Vileda but far more expensive with a smaller washing length – it just makes it a hard one for me to push up the list, that said, it’s worth looking at if you want a small robust unit. Overall it’s pretty fair to say, when you need a strong and sturdy washing line, this isn’t a bad pick, I can’t find one better for the money!

Before you start giggling like school kids, I’m referring to the size of the casing, and the length of the line. From the most expensive, to the cheapest now, with our choice for best budget retractable washing line- the Beldray LA026996, which will give you a good bit of change from a tenner, and won’t disappoint you as long as you don’t expect too much from it. Although not the longest washing line among our featured products, at 15 metres you can still get a decent amount of washing on there, and it would be just fine for any average sized family. A heavy-duty retractable washing line with multiple lines like the Brabantia wallfix, or the Better 35m washing line, is more likely to suit your needs here than our best overall- Vileda’s cordomatic, as it only has a single, 15 metre, line.I have to say though, despite being my top pick I have noted over the tens of thousands of sales you get the odd few that result in a broken bracket – this is generally as a result of too much weight or a dud retractable washing line – don’t worry, the guys will replace it for you no problem and overall it’s a quality unit but I had to point out that flaw, it’s the honest thing to do! If we were to do anything different this time it would be install the unit much higher (almost out of arms reach) and then the same with the hook.

We are the proud holders of both the Royal Warrant, granted as a supplier of premium quality products to the Royal Household. Almost all the kits I tested were adequate but didn’t fill me with confidence, not with a 10-15kg of wet washing getting thrown about in heavy wind! The Wallfix’s design is different to all the other washing lines in this article, and instead of going from point A to point B, it has multiple rows of shorter lines stacked on top of each other and separated into four sides like an upside-down pyramid.Since I first reviewed this unit the ratings have slipped slightly but you get what you pay for, this is the cheapest unit and so therefore not fair to compare it to a top model.
