Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crawford-Lehigh LA84P-1 Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer
Customer Review: Well made, well designed
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Lehigh Clothes Dryer for summertime usage and I am really satisfied. I got so tired of flimsy, wooden racks blowing over and our beach towels ending up on the ground. This thing holds tons of towels and other pool items - goggles, masks, water wings, and even a drenched Pool Babe Barbie can be clothespinned up by her hair. No more wet items cluttering your driveway, laundry room, or being left to get moldy in the back of the car. The design is terrific in that the base has to be set in concrete, but the pole can be folded up like an umbrella and EASILY pulled out and stored in the winter, for a party, or anytime you don't want a clothes pole visible.Customer Review: Good environmental choice
Summary: 4 Stars
After using this clothes dryer several times over the past week, I'm very satisfied with it. It arrived in good shape (a concern I had after reading some of the reviews). It seems fairly sturdy and it's lightweight enough to take in and out. We loaded it down the first time and it stood the test. While it's not necessarily designed to spin in the wind, it does move easily, helping with drying and with hanging clothes without having to move ourselves.
We installed it by first concreting the sleeve in a square concrete block, then burying and concreting the entire block in the ground. That made leveling it much easier. Overall, a good product.
Customer Review: Poorly packaged & very thin guage metal
Summary: 1 Stars
This item was poorly packaged for shipping. It was just stuck in a plastic bag with no padding and arrived with a plastic bracket broken off. The responsibility for the damage was the vendor/packer not the carrier. After being in service for a month, the support pole folded over (about 2 feet above ground level) in a moderate wind gust. I had to break the bottom part of the support pole off as it would no longer stand upright. It can still be used but the line height now ranges from 3 to 4 feet above ground level. All and all, not very good value. I should have returned the damaged product when first received, but did not want the hassle or expense.Customer Review: Nice to save $$
Summary: 4 Stars
I have only had this now for 3 weeks and have used it a number of times. I really like it. Had to dig hole and put cement to keep line dryer straight and stable. Very easy to open and close (I live in a development were I can't have a clothes line up, has to be taken down)never had a problem with that. However yesterday did a load and hung it out to dry on a VERY WINDY day. The wind bent the metal at the base in the ground and it broke. I was very upset at this, but plan on getting a piece of wood to stick in ground and up the pole so I can still use it. Still opens and closes, just don't use in strong winds or you will have same problem as me.Customer Review: Go Green!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this clothesline to save energy, and it does do that - except for the considerable amount that it takes to put it up and down. I have gone to just leaving it in the open position. I was hoping I could have it folded up most of the time, and only open it when I'm using it once a weekor so. Bit it's really not that easy to do. The price was very good, and it's good enough quality, except that it's hard to get the lines taut enough to not sag when you hang things on them. Still, save yourself money and get one of these; they don't take up much room and it's FUN to hang out clothes, especially sheets, blankets, etc.
