Brabantia - WallFix Dryer - with Protective Storage Box - Space Saver - Laundry Rotary - Retractable - Wall Mounted - Clothes Drying Rack - Outdoor - Metallic Grey - 24m

This product is one of those rare purchases that has improved the quality of workaday life. I enjoy the satisfaction in making a common task easier. This clothesline (I'm waxing about a clothesline?!) works well, it's solidly engineered for the task. It easily deploys and folds away so doesn't clutter the landscape, even a landscape where there's room to stretch. This dryer seems to handle all the laundry I throw at it. I can fit 3 loads, if some of the stuff is on hangers. That includes sheets. I live in a dry climate so I rarely have to leave a lot of wet laundry hanging, it dries so quickly. But I can toss a comforter, small area rug on it, and I've used it as a basket to hold bed pillows that need airing out and some sunshine. It's a terrific item, and paid for itself quickly in reduced machine dryer use. It's very sturdy and good for large households with a lot of laundry. At the same time, totally compact. If I have any criticism, it's that the Cordura cover is not as user-friendly as the dryer is. I like to leave all my clothespins on the dryer, and when folded, the cover doesn't fit as well with all the clothespins, and in any scenario it's difficult to snap on. I'd appreciate an improved cover. There is a metal cover available in the EU, I think. But it would probably not fit over my clothes pins. Nonetheless, when company is coming over, I can cover it well enough. Do yourself a favor and buy it. * Update: Three years later, my husband and I are still delighted with the functionality of this dryer. It is almost always deployed, and is only folded up when company comes over. We have unrelenting UV eleven months of the year or more. This exposure is unmerciful on various plastics, rubbers, fabrics, paints, and hard goods like chairs. But this folding clothesline is a freaking champ. Very hardy in the sun, wind, rain. No parts that rot or rust or mold. I'm very pleased. ** Second update 2021, almost to the day, 7 years after purchase: Something broke. It was the little part that holds the rig snapped open. Brabantia REPLACED THE ENTIRE DRYER, even though we only requested a part. What a wonderful company. They have my full appreciation and loyalty. (I bought their ironing board, which is also super-excellent.) As it happened, the line the clothes hang on was also in need of replacement. I bought some line, but found upon closer inspection that buying the replacement line from Brabantia would have been better, they include the little clips, it's not a simple matter of restringing with any line. Brabantia included the hard protective dryer cover, which is quite handsome, but will indeed not close with my clothespins on the line, so I remove them to properly stow the dryer. But wow, it looks nice, and functions so much better than the soft cover. I wish all the tools I use to complete daily tasks were as satisfying and functional. Kudos to a company that treats customers right--a rare attribute in today's marketplace.

There is a lot of laundry done at our household and I'd say about a forth of it does not go in the dryer (bathing suites, synthetic fabrics like gym clothes, tights, bras etc.). For years I've been using a folding rack that I'd open in the house or outside (only to find it tip over to the ground with a slight wind). I've used this folding clothes line for over two months now and had to post something - it is SO AMAZINGLY DESIGNED! This is one product that's done so right!! I wish I've had it years ago! It holds a lot of items at a time and easily folds away when not in use. I love that it has a cover so it looks really neat all the time!

Perfect indoor clothesline. We use it in our garage. It holds two medium loads of laundry. It will hold bed linens if you go "around the corner" and use two adjacent sides. Easy to open and close. Be sure it snaps into place with a loud clicking sound when you open it, otherwise it isn't secure and will slide down under the weight of wet laundry. My son suggested this as a way to save energy from daily use of the electric clothes dryer. A nice, fresh way to go green and save money!

We bought it a while ago when it was $50 more, but no regrets. When it is not used and unfolded you hardly notice it. After I take the laundry off I always right away fold it back against the wall and put the cover over it. It looks like new still. It is very sturdy and has lots of line space. We installed it on the corner of the deck where it gets more wind and is out of the way. Just today I thought again how much I appreciate this drying solution and so save on electricity! Love it!

*update - 5 years later it's still going strong. One of the pins has wiggled loose a couple times, but it's not incredibly difficult to get it back in. I use this weekly, year round, in the high dessert. It is exposed to intense sun, high winds, and freezing temps and hardly shows wear. I highly recommend it. I love it. Mine did arrive missing a couple peices. One is the "hood" piece and then also a couple square pieces that are depicted in the "packaging contents" of the instructions, but I don't see where those parts were supposed to go so I am not sure if they were important or not! Installation would have been a lot easier with two people, but I managed to do it on my own. I love that it comes with a cover so it looks nice and tidy when not in use.

I have owned this unit for 5 years now and I absolutely love it. Folds into the side of my house out of the way and is easily pulled out to hang clothes and folded back out of the way. Have shared with many people that have loved the unit.

It was a little pricey, I think, but if you have a limited space (I hung mine in the clearance between my house and the fence between my and my neighbor's yard), and you know what you want, you will spend the money, place it, use it and never regret it (or so I hope!). Installation went well. Sturdiness is solid. The only thing that the instructions did not explain well (at least, to this reader) was how to make sure it wouldn't collapse and how to release the mechanism to close. To open it, pull the handle toward you and it will extend. The propping arm needs to click into place, and I give it a little knock on the arm from below. It clicks into place. If you don't do this, it will collapse like an umbrella when any weight from clothes are placed on it. Device ain't broken -- just not clicked in place. To release when done with the lines, pull the HANDLE upwards. It is not difficult and takes very little pressure. It will click out of place and then you can pull the handle down to fully collapse the umbrella with ease. I was happy to pay a little extra for made in Europe quality and design, although I wld have preferred made in the USA. I've had mine in operation for four months so far.

Después de darle vueltas lo compré con algunas dudas, que si el tamaño, que si la calidad, que si la resistencia.... Cuando llegó y lo monté me dí cuenta enseguida de que estaba ante un producto de calidad superior. Es que no tiene nada que ver con otras cosas que haya visto por ahí. Este cacharro es como la evolución 2.0 de los tendederos. Lo tiene todo: facilidad de montaje (trae una plantilla muy útil para hacer los taladros), facilidad de manejo (nada de que está duro ni nada de que es difícil plegarlo y desplegarlo), estética (cuando está plegado en su caja parece algún dispositivo futurista de diseño y desplegado es hasta bonito), resistente (salvo colgarme yo de él, lo aguanta casi todo), capacidad (hasta dos lavadoras sin problemas), vamos no se puede pedir más. Como única pega que para tender sábanas o similares hay que doblarlas porque no caben extendidas, pero vamos, me parece algo sin importancia en comparación con su practicidad. Quería un tendedero que pudiera plegarse porque uso mi patio también como zona de estar en verano y este me parece ideal porque recogido queda superestético. Vamos que no puedo estar más satisfecho. Una compra de 10

Stendibiancheria geniale, si possono stendere quantità elevate di biancheria, nel mio caso utilissimo per le lenzuola, in quanto abitando al piano terra non è possibile usare uno stendino normale. Quando non si utilizza, da chiuso, ha un ingombro veramente minimo, permette quindi di sfruttare al meglio qualsiasi spazio. Ciliegina sulla torta: assistenza al TOP, io avevo acquistato questo stendibiancheria su amazon warehouse (usato come nuovo), ma mi è arrivato rotto. Amazon non poteva sostituire il prodotto, ma solo rimborsarmi, purtroppo avendo bisogno dello stendibiancheria non era la soluzione giusta per me. Mi sono rivolto all'assistenza Brabantia che nonostante il periodo critico in cui ci troviamo in questo momento (covi-19) nel giro di pochi giorni mi ha fatto ricevere uno stendibiancheria nuovo direttamente a casa.

Geweldig hangt op een hoek in de tuin

As has been stated by other reviewers, this item is moderately fragile. The alloy is quite thin, and does not instill confidence in it's tensile strength. However, that being said, if this is used with care it works just fine. It took me about 20 minutes to install it on the wall, including finding an 8mm drill bit and it feels quite solid once mounted. There are four rubber gromits that fit on the back of this to cushion it against the wall, and I suppose to give it some cushioning from vibration in the wind. This also has the benefit of reducing vibration noise against the wall. The screws are adequate and fit the unit well enough with the supplied washers. You do need to use a reasonable amount of strength to pull this from the wall until the catch clicks into place, and of course as has been mentioned here - to lift it away from the wall to disengage the catch before folding it away. It is best to do this with a bit of caution, simply because the frame is not very solid, so is fairly easy to bend or buckle. There is no template for mounting this, which I think is something the company should supply. It's all well and good giving us the measurements on the sheet in small print with a small diagram of the mounting plate. I mean, how much extra cost is it to put in a paper template? It would save time and trouble for the customer. For myself I made my own template from the back place, rather than dismantling the thing or fiddling with the assembled unit to mark the holes. There is no fixed height to mount this unit, it is advised to mount it at a comfortable height, so the top of the mounting plate is slightly above the head of the person using it. When you see how it works, this makes a lot of sense. Once I showed my wife how this unit works, and how to release the catch again, she has been using this comfortably. We're both getting a lot of use out of this as the main rotary dryer is out the back of the property in the middle of the grass, this one is mounted closer to the back door at the end of the patio. It's easier to get to when the weather is questionable, and as it folds away neatly it doesn't interfere when we are sitting out there or entertaining. Once this is pulled out and locked, it is quite large and will take a fair amount of washing. For us this means that the larger household items can go on the bigger rotary dryer, and smalls, underoos, t-shirts and other washing can go on this thing. It does mean we get more washing done in a day which is a bonus in some ways and a bane in others (more ironing for instance...) This answered a need for us, and allows us to hang washing out on days when the weather is less than perfect, and dash out to grab it quick if there's rain, without a long sprint down the garden and a wet trudge back carrying a heavy load. I suspect that because of it's convenience it is going to get more use than the larger rotary dryer. Great idea, well made and finished. Some care needs to be taken when fitting and using this item because of the way it is constructed, but overall this is a very nice unit that has made our lives that little bit easier. As it folds away neatly into it's own housing - either the alloy box or the provided rain cover which clips to the sides and sits tight on the top cap and bottom of the legs, it is unobtrusive and tidies away neatly.

I love this! I have it mounted on to the garage wall in the garden, and it is so easy to open and close. Takes all my washing. Very good quality, sturdy and strong, worth the money for sure. If I wanted to nit pick, you have to be careful when folding away not to trap the airer wires in the protective covers as you close the cover/doors. Takes a couple of seconds to push them out the way, no biggie. Overall, this has made my life so much easier - so very quick to use and looks very neat and tidy when not in use. Highly recommend this space saving, easy to use product that leaves your garden free of poles, washing lines or large rotary airers blocking your view.
