Household Essentials R-400 Single Line Retractable Clothesline - Keep Your Clothes Fresh & Wrinkle-Free

Squrlee in Golden: I've had one these for years and years and they really hold up and last a long time. The old one was probably 10 years old and finally wore out and looked pretty bad. But it still retracted ! So bit the bullet and got a new one. I tend to hang very heavy things on it, ususally our king sized bed cover and when wet it is heavy. But this clothesline can always handle it. I will probably always have one. As long as I can lift a wet king sized bed cover .....

Doxie Mom in Sunny South Florida: This was the exact replacement of a previous one that was very old. Was able to use the very same holes for mounting. Convenient and easy to use.

Ang: My old retractable line broke after a few “years” of constant use. Tried other retractable lines that didn’t work. Searched high and low and luckily found the same one I had for years. Really good product. Use it indoors. Have it stretched about 30 feet across my basement. Holds towels, socks... Just wish the line was a little thicker. Would definitely recommend this product.

Amazon Customer: We bought two of these (Not sure if they were the exact same model) about 2 - 3 years ago. They look identical to this one. The original two are still working fine. The original brackets did break off, but I was able to replace them with metal brackets and they have worked fine ever since. I was surprised when I opened the new one to find that the mounting bracket was metal. Either the previous two were a different model, or the company has upgraded to metal mounting brackets. It still looks plastic in the picture, but what we recieved was metal. I installed the new one in between the two old ones and they all work fine. The new one also has a different coating on the line itself which seems not to be as slick and holds the clothes better. I am satisfied with the product even with its plastic weaknesses.

OH Grandma: I ordered this to replace a line that I had for almost 10 years. After a few uses this line (which is much thinner than my last one) is already fraying where the clothes prop was placed to support the weight of the clothes on the line. When I replace this one, which may be next spring, I will look for a different brand. It is OK for very occassional use, but I hang clothes out often and this will not hold up.
