Minky Homecare 49ft Gray Retractable Outdoor Clothesline - 2x Lines for Maximum Clothes Drying Space

Jack Gertridge: Was looking for something to put on our deck that wasn’t up all the time but also was strong a worked will. I really like this thing. It’s a little bigger than I expected but still not to bad. I saw some reviews about the line tangling so I always retract it slowly to make sure it all goes back in neatly. Another piece of advice is if you want to keep it from dropping as you put more clothes/weight on it make sure you put the line under itself to help lock in place at the base. If not the little piece you wrap it around on the base is not wedge tight enough to hold a ton of clothing. Love this thing so far though.

Dee Dee: I just ordered our second one of the super handy Minky 2-line clothes lines to replace one we’ve had on our breezeway for several years. It is still functioning, but has nearly outlived its usefulness as a couple of the “teeth” that the cords wrap around have broken off. Can’t blame the product - it’s been subjected to the sun, rain, snow, heat and cold the entire time we’ve had it. It is super handy as the line only needs to be extended when you use it, and it just blends into the background when not in use.

There are very few $20 products that give this much bang for your buck.

Mrs J H: Does what you want. You have to be careful to wrap the line tightly around the bottom of the unit so it’s secure. After 8 years it failed on the hinge and flew off nearly killing me!

merlin mathew: It doesn’t hold heavy loads strongly. The wrap around the hook( to lock) comes off at times.

Jordan Racing: Nice product only fault I had cord could retract for tighter hanging heavy items such wet towels.

SuperStar: I loved this while I had it. I’m just sad that they do not offer it anymore. I used it for about two years before it bit the dust. It was easy to screw to my porch post and I ran the rope out to an old swings set. It was strong enough to hold three or four quilts while drying.

coudray: Bonjour ,J'ai acheté ce système il y a 2 ans, installé àl'extérieur. Je le trouve très pratique, pour profiter d'étendre mon linge dehors,je le rentre à l'arrivée de l'automne pour le ressortir au printemps !
Je viens de le faire à l'instant, malheureusement je ne peux rembobiner les fils
L'appareil se démonte t-il pour enrouler manuellement le fil ?
Merci d'avance s'il quelqu'un peut me répondre.

LAN001: Bought this to replace my old one which was exactly the same model. I had to replace the old as one of the bits where you wrap line to secure had broken. This is probably due to the fact that it has been exposed to the elements for 3 years.
Since the bracket was already fitted to my wall, it was simple to pop the old one off and the new one on. Now that I realise this, I will be removing the Minky during the winter months.
I love this double washing line, it can stretch up to 15 metres each line and can take a lot of weight. Also the fact that you retract the lines when not in use is an added bonus, no unsightly washing lines on display.
Sturdy product, looks good, great retraction, keeps garden looking tidy. I would definitely recommend this product. Great value for money.

Laura: Ho acquistato questo stendibiancheria retrattile selezionandolo attraverso moltissime recensioni.
Devo dire che sono pienamente soddisfatta.
I due cavi sono molto lunghi e robusti, nonostante siano piuttosto sottili (li avrei preferiti più grossi di un millimetro per poter fissare meglio la biancheria con le mollette che utilizzo; non sarà un problema trovare mollette più aderenti al filo);
i fili reggono perfettamente il peso di un carico di jeans, o di lenzuola matrimoniali, o copri materassi imbottiti.
Visto che la lunghezza dei cavi lo permette, Li ho disposti in modo non parallelo fra loro, in modo da poter avere sia più filo per stendere, sia più spazio di manovra tra i due cavi; e devo dire che reggono in modo ineccepibile, anche messi di traverso rispetto al blocco che avvolge i fili.
Una volta tassellato al muro, lo stendibiancheria è saldo ma quando si stende fa un po’ di gioco all’altezza dei due perni amovibili che permettono l’estrazione rapida dell’apparecchio (in modo da conservarlo nei periodi di inultilizzo) dalla placchetta bloccata alla parete, questo però non inficia la tensione del cavo mentre si stende.
L’avvolgi cavo...

Arvid: As others have said in reviews here, those nubs on the bottom---the ones that are for wrapping the cords around a couple of times to keep them in place rather than to retract when the lines are in use---are on seams and do not appear to be all that sturdy.

Rather than to experience what others have gone through with fracturing and splitting nubs, I cut to the chase and purchased a couple of three-inch hard-fiber cleats to use for cord-wrapping, mounting them outboard of the clothesline housing maybe 1.5 inches or so. They work very well and should outlast the unit and its cords. I of course will not use the nubs at all. The manufacturer should reinforce those nubs, which are scandalously flimsy. I'd give this five stars then rather then four.

My need is in the laundry area for hanging smaller items that are not going into the electric dryer nor worth putting up the Brabantia Lift-o-Matic umbrella clothes dryer outside for---purchased, incidentally, from Amazon a couple of years ago and the best such device I've ever seen or used---so it's spanning only about 12 feet, which is just fine.

But one thing briefly puzzled me, and that was how to get the lines...
