Nice and easy to setup. They are quite sturdy and made of good quality. The hooks come off quite easily if not attached properly. The locking mechanism is also not the best.

R.P.Drake: This is my second of these washing lines. The first lasted me about 10 years before the line just stretched too much and broke. Up until then it did a great job - so at £1.90 per year I would say that it's good value.

Dan FDan F: Would prefer the end hook be metal rather than plastic, but it does the job.

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.

Gareth Beaumont: Great value and you do get to the feeling that the line is secure and sturdy and will hold weight, the loops at the bottom to attach the line to to secure it are flimsy.

Nicole: I hang up most of my clothes to dry and bought the Minky Clothesline to try outside. It's sturdy and made well. A little bigger than I imagined, but doesn't bother me. Super easy to install.

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...

Courtneyb229: UPDATE 09/18/2015 When I first purchased this clothesline I was thrilled. But a few months into the relationship and the honeymoon is over. The problem is that the blasted peg/knob things on the bottom of the unit are not durable. And those peg/knob things are essential, because that is the key to keeping the lines taut. Both of mine have broken so I've done more than my fair share of cussing trying to finagle a way to prevent the lines from sagging. I still think this is a great design, the lines are long, retract easily, and there is plenty of line to hang multiple loads; unfortunately, the material is simply not durable. Deducting one star for each broken peg.
I've never had an outdoor clothesline, having always relied upon an electric dryer. But, in an effort to reduce our use of electricity (and, yes, save some money), I began looking at clotheslines. My husband was very much opposed to putting a permanent structure up, which I couldn't argue with. We looked at various clotheslines, including single string lines, as well as fold-down racks that mount to the wall, and those too, were either impractical (a single line won't be able to accommodate the volume of laundry we...

The Coyote: I purchased one of these in May this year, to replace on of the same type.
Both units suffered a breakage on the plastic clip that the line wraps around to take up the slack.
