Tools and Hardware Reviews of 5-Line Retractable Clothes Dryer
Customer Review: Works great, seems sturdy
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to install on my deck, which is partially covered with a roof. The instructions & some of the reviews say the clothesline part has to be perfectly level with the receiver unit. I didn't put it up this way, the beam I have the receiver unit hooked to is quite a bit higher than the clothesline part - and it works just fine. I could not remove the plastic boxes at the end of the line bar to adjust it, they are really wrenched on & I could not pry them off even with a screwdriver. I got the lines tight enough with hooks & eyes in the meantime, until I can get some brute to come over and pry the boxes off so I can adjust the lines properly. They aren't tightrope tight, but the sheets are off the ground & the whole thing works just fine. I was careful not to overtighten after reading that the plastic parts are prone to breaking & the dial that adjust how the lines lock will break (rendering the whole thing useless) if you aren't careful. After finally putting the unit up (it took longer than I thought it would) as soon as I was hanging the laundry it started to rain. I was glad I ran 1/3 of the line under the deck roof. Was able to move all the laundry over to the covered part and it dried just fine.
I am happy enough with it so far, but if/when it breaks I doubt I would go to the trouble of buying & putting up another one. I really could have done the same thing with rope and hooks, for a lot cheaper.
A thought on what to do if the locking mechanism breaks - if you could just shorten all the lines so it will only go as far as the receiving arm for the handle - you won't need it to lock tight. The laundry can't wind up on the ground if the lines are at the very end of the length when you attach it to the receiving unit.
