Brabantia Lift-O-Matic Outdoor 4 Arm Clothesline (197 ft/Ø 1.8") Height Adjustable, Folding Clothes Drying Rack + Ground Spike & Cover (Gray)

The one I bought is the 196-foot Lift-O-Matic, the one with the greatest capacity. Very rare for most products, this one actually is as good as the packaging and on-line promotional language says it is. I received mine a week or so ago and have used it twice. It functioned exactly as described, and it was constructed exactly that way as well. I did not purchase this until I had spent hours investigating what appeared to be the leading outdoor clothes dryer devices, including much reading of many reviews on all sorts of sites, both independent and not. This unit is well worth the investment, so far as I can see. One matter, not addressed anywhere that I found in all my site-jumping and reading, deserves attention, which I will give it because it applied to me and surely will apply to others, even if not many. The soil here is infused at its top layer with the heaviest sort of clay-ish deposit, called caliche. It is extremely difficult to dig through, especially when trying to drive the Brabantia hollow heavy-duty anchor spike into it. Using a board between the hammer and spike top as directed (I used a 2 x 4) to keep from deforming the spike, I pounded and pounded until my arm was ready to fall off. I had driven it in maybe three inches at the end of 45 minutes. Next, I resorted to a 5.5-foot, 17-pound steel digging bar with a pointed tip, driving that repeatedly into the ground. After exhaustive (and exhausting) effort, I had gone another few inches, but I still was not halfway deep enough. Now what? Someone long ago had left a very corroded long-shank one-inch wood drill bit---maybe 20 inches in total length---in my garage. It probably had been used decades ago to drill holes through studs for electrical conduit. Somehow, I had not thrown it away, and it occurred to me that perhaps this would help. I attached it to an old manual drill brace and began to drill. Amazingly, it drilled down past the necessary distance within maybe one minute. I drilled another hole right next to it the same way. With those two one-inch holes drilled, the anchor spike was in place at the proper depth within maybe five minutes of vigorous pounding. I immediately put up the dryer to ensure that it was decently plumb, which it was (I had used a level along the way), and soon had the first load of wash fluttering on it. It is a grand piece of machinery very cleverly designed. If you need an outside dryer and don't want to put up T-poles with rope in between for a permanent setup, this or one of its smaller brethren is the one to get.

This Brabantia clothes dryer makes going back to basics stylish, functional and cool. I wanted an outdoor clothes line (after my retractable single line Minky broke) that was sturdy, unassuming and easy to use. I got all of this and more with this one! I'm a big believer of buying the best you can afford, even with a clothes line! I am a 5'3" woman and 118 pounds...even I was able to put the soil spear in the ground in 15 minutes. I was lucky enough to receive this the day after we had two days of torrential downpour. If not for that, in fairness to others who had trouble with installation, I don't think I would have been able to execute this myself as our soil is clay and very rocky...I got lucky with the rain and placement as I got it right in my first shot. No cement was necessary as the metal spear goes in far enough into the ground. It holds a large amount of laundry! I was even able to hang a queen size comforter and heavy duvet cover flat on top of the lines at a lower level...it worked perfectly! It was a mildly windy day and it spun around nicely and easily without a noticeable strain at all even with the weight of all that on top of it. I love how the lines go up and down super smoothly without any tangles. And the cover is a wonderful bonus and much nicer in quality than I was expecting (the packaging states that it's a separate purchase but it came with it). I should add that I was informed of a 1-2 month delivery time at the time of purchase (I was willing to wait) and it came in one week! I am super happy with this purchase and recommend this with no reservations. I haven't owned this long but I hang laundry outside 3-4 times weekly and based on the quality and functionality of this rotary dryer, I expect to use this for a long time. Thank you Brabantia for providing a quality dryer for those who care to pay more and buy once versus pay less and buy multiple times.

Very nice clothes line. This will require you to pound the bar of the clothesline deep enough into the ground to stand upright and bear the weight without tilting. you'll need to take care doing it as well to not bend the top of the pipe so that the line part will fit over top of the part you dug into the ground. That being said, it folds out to plenty of space and is a square shape so you dont have to span the length of your yard to hang all of your clothes. It can hold quite a lot and will not rust in the rain or degrade in the sun. It comes with a nice cover that you can slide over top of the bars when you fold them in. If you are too fast sliding the cover on, you could potentially poke through the cover so again, take some care when covering it. It comes with a nice red rubber stopper for the top of the pipe that sticks out of the ground so you dont have to worry about a pet or someone hurting themselves on the exposed pipe.

Alles super. Schnelle Lieferung, das Material überzeugt, der Preis ist vergleichsweise sehr gut. Würden wir sofort wieder kaufen. Meine Frau benutzt diese Wäschespinne sehr gern seit mittlerweile 2 Jahren. Aufbau: War einfach und schnell durch den Bodendübel: In normalen Erdboden einschrauben, eine Holzlatte o. ä. als Hebel verwenden, kein Werkzeug nötig bzw. es ist alles dabei, was man braucht, für die Perfektion vlt. noch eine Wasserwaage. Qualität: Nach zwei Jahren intensiver Benutzung (im Sommer praktisch täglich) keinerlei nennenswerte Abnutzungserscheinungen, Roststellen, Hakeleien, Wackeln, Quietschen oder irgendwie sowas. Die Ummantelung der Seile hält. Die Verstellung funktioniert zuverlässig. Auch der Bodendübel hält die Position noch so, wie ursprünglich eingeschraubt. Besonders gut: - Die gesamte "Aufhängeeinheit" ist vertikal verstellbar, d. h. die Wäsche-Aufhänghöhe kann auf die Größe der Person eingestellt werden. Das ermöglicht eine sehr komfortable Bewegung beim Hoch- und Runter-Bücken beim Aufhängen. Nach dem Aufhängen einfach alles hochschieben. Funktioniert 1A, da hat sich jemand was gedacht. - Drehen der Wäschespinne läuft rund. Tipp: Bisschen WD-40 oder ähnliches Schmiermittel zwischen Bodendübel und Wäschespinne, dann dreht sich das Teil wie ein Glücksrad und dreht die Wäsche automatisch in den Wind (volle Breitseite zur Sonne zum schnelleren Trocknen). - "Stopfer" zum Verschließen des Rohrs (Bodendübel) ist dabei. Zum Schutz im Winter kann das ganze Teil herausgenommen werden und das Rohr damit verschlossen werden. - Schutzabdeckung ist dabei. Gutes Teil. Würden wir so wieder kaufen. Liebe Grüße.

Holds several loads of laundry. Well balanced, easy to turn, easy to set up and store away. I love the cover too! I’m extremely happy with my purchase.

Bon article, de qualité, justifiant le prix élevé. Le système d'ouverture à cliquets est très pratique. Une amélioration éventuelle serait une douille de sol à visser, à la manière d'une tarière.

Ya se han roto dos líneas. No recomiendo comprar este producto después de poco menos de un año. Teníamos colgados algunos objetos más pequeños y algunas mantas de 1 mx 1 m, así que nada con mucho peso.

Dopo anni di stendibiancheria a destra e sinistra senza mai avere spazio per i capi ed esteticamente brutti da vedere, alcuni amici mi hanno consigliato questo prodotto sia per la praticità sia per la robustezza. In effetti non ci sono paragoni, ho iniziato stupito ad usarlo e stendere il bucato non è più uno stress. Molto capiente e si regola all’altezza che si desidera in funzione dalle proprie esigenze corporee. Il brand è ovviamente affidabile in termini di qualità, il prezzo li vale tutti ed è facile da montare. Ho acquistato anche il porta mollette per avere tutto il comfort studiato dal produttore.
