Product Information

Have you ever reached for your washing line and run your finger along it before hanging up your laundry, only to find the lines are grimy? Well, the Leifheit Linomatic rotary washing line offers a handy solution to keep things clean: the lines automatically retract into the rotary arms when not in use, keeping them free from dirt, moisture and cobwebs. Wilko's rotary washing line is designed to do exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing fancy about this model. It's a no-faff, no-fuss and reasonably-priced option for those who aren't looking to splash out. It offers 40 metres of drying space using its three-arm design, enough to hang up to 25kg of washing in one go. In general, it seems this rotary washing line is relatively easy to open and close; whilst it may be stiff initially, customers report that it generally loosens over time.

The weather: Now, we know we cannot control the weather (otherwise, it wouldn’t rain half as much as it does). However, you still need to think carefully about it. For example, a freestanding airer would not be practical if you live in a particularly windy spot (unless you wanted your family’s clothing to end up in your neighbour’s garden.) Second, the Minky. 2 x 15m lines. Recommend a line pole/support to help with weight though. Puts less strain on the internal retractor thing."(Vetted by Mumsnetter CoffeeBeansGalore) Our verdict If you want to dry large sheets, you will need the space between each arm to be wider than the width of the sheet.

The retractable washing line consists of a double line: two PVC lines that measure 13 m each. They provide space for a couple of loads of washing and can handle up to 25 kg in total, but a pole to prop up the lines will likely still be required. On the plus side, it’s a decent height at 194.5 cm meaning the washing is not in danger of dragging on the ground. Plus, longer items can be hung with enough clearance so that pets don’t brush past them. Most experts agree the hole should be between 45 cm to 50cm deep and roughly 30cm wide. DIY Doctor gives some great advice on ensuring your washing line is secure. How do you clean a rotary washing line?

Steel rotary washing lines are considered stronger and less likely to bend, warp or break than aluminium ones. This is their main advantage, and can be particularly useful if washing drying heavier items like duvets, blankets or towels. Choosing a Line with Enough Space One of the main advantages of a concertina-style dryer is that it can be used at any extension length; it doesn’t need to be fully pulled out if you’re only drying a couple of clothes. Therefore, it only takes up the necessary space required. This Addis Rotary Washing Line is a good option if you’re looking for a simple, affordable rotary washing line. Given its size and price, this is the best rotary washing line to buy on a budget. The best rotary washing line is the Brabantia Lift-O-Matic Rotary 50m Washing Line.

Buying a cover for your wall mounted ‘rotary’ line can give it a much more subtle appearance, and also stop the lines from getting grubby if it’s positioned outside. Brabantia 50m Lift-O-Matic, love it, 15 years and going strong."(Tried and tested by Mumsnet user edoc) Appearance isn’t everything… but it can help. Which is why it’s a pleasant surprise that this LIVIVO Rotary Washing Line has quite a chic finish, along with being a high-quality clothes airer. In terms of installation, this dual retractable washing line is easy to mount on the wall. There are two wall screws provided as well as two wall hooks and four plugs. The manual is clear and easy to follow which helps make the assembly process easier. The only real downside is that the aluminium plate, which attaches the reel to the wall, is made with reasonably soft metal. You may find that the screws eat into the aluminium, so it can help to use washers to stop this.
