Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line, Grey, 2x15m

Product Information

We’ve even got a colourful ironing board collection to help you easily remove those stubborn creases. A lot of retractable washing lines are compact these days, the Minky and Bedray products featured in this article are two good examples of that, but even they can’t compete with Tensor’s retractable 3-line clothesline in that department. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

That’s not to says that the the Soreli Retractable Clothes Line isn’t worth a look but the problem is the design is very similar to the Vileda but far more expensive with a smaller washing length – it just makes it a hard one for me to push up the list, that said, it’s worth looking at if you want a small robust unit. He previously worked as a project manager and has experience in managing teams of tradespeople and landscape gardeners on both small and medium sized projects. I drilled directly into the brick face as that’s the toughest part of the wall and I wound the hook into a nearby tree trunk.Not to worry, this 35 metre heavy duty retractable washing line from Better (yes, that’s the name they chose for their brand, and not my opinion) is an excellent alterative. Well, I certainly have, and I was happy that Vileda chose to make their line an easily visible red colour, so the chance of this happening is greatly reduced. The best lines to look out for are a combination of metal and plastic, with the latter coating the former to give you the benefits of both materials. I ended up going for 50mm screws but I think anything size 4 and 40mm up is fine, size five would be bullet proof and beyond the weight rating of the line itself considerably, and if you like to be sure then use the size 5 40mm wood screws rather than those supplied and feel immeasurably more comfortable with that.

Our rotary washing lines are perfect for doing just that and they come in a range of different sizes and styles to suit any outdoor space. Just a couple of screws and wall plugs – given the weight rating the screws on these seems fine for the job unlike the beefier top picks. The other key differences are the weight rating – which I would say this is the best for and as a result my heavy duty pick, but also this unit doesn’t work with a conventional hook and eye though the mechanism is quick attach and release. As I allude to in my Vileda Automatic Retractable Clothes Line review, you will want to get some decent wood screws – anything over 40mm will do you just fine.I have to say though, despite being my top pick I have noted over the tens of thousands of sales you get the odd few that result in a broken bracket – this is generally as a result of too much weight or a dud retractable washing line – don’t worry, the guys will replace it for you no problem and overall it’s a quality unit but I had to point out that flaw, it’s the honest thing to do! We didn’t test it to the maximum 45lbs, but it held up well with a couple of towels, some wet shorts, and a few t-shirts while being hooked up between a couple of trees. You would be shocked just how much breeze these retractable washing lines in conjunction with weight can put up with. Simply hang your clothes up with pegs, cover up and turn on to see your clothes dry in as little as 90 minutes. The Beldray can pivot on this bracket in the same way as the Vileda Cordomatic, a feature I wasn’t expecting on such an inexpensive retractable washing line.

When you’re done using the washing line, it all folds down, concertina style, into its wall-mounted, stainless steel, storage box. Don’t get tripped up on install – there’s every chance you won’t be happy with the fixings provided.

In fact, our choice for the best budget washing line for large families, the Better 35m heavy duty model, has four separate lines. The two products were compared side-by-side and then tested over 3 days in July 2022 with several loads of wet clothes and other weights.The two metal screws that came with the pack looked a little flimsy but, according to the manufacturer, are rated to hold 15kg. The installation is just like the Vileda and is directly in competition on that front, it would seem one has copied the other, don’t ask me who but it’s a generic design for a wall plate so no surprises the odd feature similarity is going to crop up. The use of stainless steel was a great choice by the designers as it is very good at fighting rust, and therefore will extend the working life of the washing line.
