Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crawford-Lehigh LA84P-1 Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer
Customer Review: Clothes Dryer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Crawford Lehigh Clothes Dryer is an ecology saving answer to the need conserve energy and at the same time save money. Using the sun's rays to dry white items gives them a sparkling white finish and the wind gives them a fresh smell. Neither whiteness nor smell is available from a machine that dries clothes. This dryer installs with ease and takes up a small area in the yard. The only drawback is that the lines are spaced so close that maximum drying time is impaired. This minus is easily overcome by hanging not using every line to hang clothes. Using every second or third lines provides good drying. The surprising positive feature is the amply quantity of clothes that it accommodates. It is an excellent substitute for a drying machine.Customer Review: Family loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't speak to how long it will last. I've only had it for about a month. But it was very easy to install. I can say this from direct experience as my husband handed me the bag of cement mix, a shovel and the hose...and then left. Once the cement dried, I put it into its sleeve in the cement. It was so light and manageable, it'll be a piece of cake to take it in to store it for the winter to help it last longer. My daughter-in-law loves hanging bedding on it. My husband was drawn to it because he can hang his shirts outside to dry quicker than in the basement causing mold issues. That was an unexpected plus (him using it). Sometimes we hang full loads out, sometimes just the bedding and shirts. Either way, everyone's happy with it.Customer Review: Works great until you tighten the line
Summary: 2 Stars
This line dryer was working fine until I tightened the lines. They were sagging and the clothes were sliding toward the middle of each line. I was just about done tightening the line for the 1st time when I heard a snap and the tension released. A metal arm (one of the four) that attaches via a plastic bracket to the main stem broke through the plastic near the base. All the lines sag now. The plastic cannot be repaired. Possibly replaced. But Amazon does not offer that. The line dryer is now useless. It seems to me the plastic was defective, or at a minimum a poor choice of material for this application. I've used it (lightly) about 3 mos so they will only provide a partial refund, and I pay to ship it back.Customer Review: WORKS GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow...I absolutely love it. It's very light, easy to fold up, and takes limited space to store. I've been using it daily for a month now and have not had any problems. We followed the instructions in placing the plastic sleeve in concrete and it works great. On rainy days when I have some clothes I want to hang dry, I use my wrought iron umbrella stand in the garage or in the basement. The clothes dryer fits perfectly in the stand but need to make sure you balance the clothes evenly and hang them closer to the base so it does not tip over. We definitely saved a lot on our utility bills by using the clothesline vs the electric dryer. And you end up with clothes & bed linen that smell sooo clean & fresh.Customer Review: going green
Summary: 5 Stars
i was so glad to find this type of product available from amazon. i tried to find one from local retailers and no one carries them. i'm not an environmentalist, but i'm trying to take the little steps that add up to a big step.
this product is everything that the description said it would be. it was very easy to install and very easy to use. it is sturdy and well-made, but lightweight and easy to use (which includes, bringing it inside when not in use).
i was skeptical of the claimed drying capacity, but it's true. we've loaded it with 24 pairs of adult pants and/or shorts and still had room for towels to fit. and yes, it is sturdy enough to hold of all that.
