Sara Powers: I bought this clothesline as a replacement for one that belonged to my roommate. The previous clothesline she had worked well but never really was taut enough. The previous clothesline also couldn't withstand being used as a mechanism for hanging and supporting a piñata, which ended up being its downfall. Also having broke the previous clothesline I was looking to replace it with a similar model. This one is GREAT! It was easy to install because it had the same screw configuration as the clothesline that came before it. I think this one works even better than the old one. The mechanism for keeping it taut works great and the line retracts just fine. It can support a lot of weight without any sagging. If you need to replace your roommate's clothesline because you broke it operating a piñata at a drunken birthday party (or for any other reason) I recommend this one!

Amazon Customer: So far so good. I hung mine at the carport post and use a metal basketball goal to attach it at the other end. We just needed to drill a hole to get the bracket to attach. This is a 27 foot extension. I have had no trouble hanging sheets, shirts, towels and even a comforter with no issues. The secret is winding the cord around the loop on the bottom for a tight and secure line. You have to make it high enough as the clothes will weigh it down somewhat but no issues with anything dragging the ground. If you don't let it fly back into the reel there should be no issue with retraction. Love having fresh and environmentally friendly dried clothes!

KevinK: I had a very similar retractable line some years ago and it worked great until the plastic mounting bracket broke. This Household Essentials version has a nice metal mounting bracket, which is better. However, after the first time I pulled out the line and hooked it up, the line would not retract all the way. I doubt they all do this, but that's the way this one came. I tried pulling the line out to various lengths and letting it snap back in to the case, but it always stopped about 4 - 6 feet short and would not go all the way in, no matter what. It is still stuck that way. While it is extended and in use, it works fine. Wish I could get a replacement, but I can use it as it is in the meantime.

Jane Leslie: I love this thing (I really bought two)! I am making an effort to reduce my electric usage and drying clothes on the line (at least in my part of the country) is a no brainer. I wash the clothes at night when the price per kilowatt hour is lowest and hang them in the morning. An hour or so later (depending on the item), my clothes are dry and fresh smelling. The towels are a little stiff so I run them in a 20 minute touch-up cycle in the dryer and that problem is solved. One 20 minute cycle vs.multiple 52 minute dryer cycles...you do the math. An added bonus is saving wear and tear on my dryer and extending its life-time for use on those unfortunately few and far between rainy days. Makes me feel good. Then the lines retract when not used so as to not distract from my lovely yard. This product comes highly recommended, everyone should own at least one.

AwlwazReadin: I purchased this great Clothes Dryer (I call it a clothesline:) after buying the worlds worst piece of plastic junk to wash clothes in called the Wonderwash. I knew I would need a clothes line and again did quite a bit of research before spending any money. This item had many great reviews and I do use reviews to decide many times on whether or not to buy or not buy an item. There were also tips on how to hang and use this particular clothesline within some of the reviews. Thank you as I found these tips very helpful. I was not planning on spending as much as I did, but this item is worth every penny. I had a huge disappointment with the wonderwash, but I still hand wash a lot of my clothes and am glad I chose to spend the extra and buy this particular clothesline. It is 40 feet long and I actually have put it in my living room. It blends right into the woodwork when retracted. It holds a ton of clothing and I tend to put my light clothes on it, but have also used it to dry sheets that were not quite dry when they came out of the dryer. This lead me to trying it to completely dry sheets and towels and saved myself money by eliminating the dryer altogether. Strong and very sturdy....
