Household Essentials 17145-1 Aluminum Retractable Clothesline 5-Line Dryer | Indoor or Outdoor Use | Hang Wet or Dry Laundry, Black|tan|silver

I was so happy to be able to replace my at least 25 year old Sunline clothesline with an exact match here in 2025! It seems to be as well-made and well-working as my old one, one of the few items I've bought that hasn't been cheapness. The only difference is this one is bright white and I like that. I have always taken the unit off the garage and stored it inside in the winter but otherwise it's out in all the other 3 seasons. I still like to hang sheets. Nothing smells better.

Worked as expected. I think they need to add rawl bolts to the kit in cases of installing it to a concrete wall.

nice

I purchased a clothesline just like this, approximately 20 years ago. I grew up in the country and hanging clothes on the line was one of my chores. As an adult, I continue that task and hang clothes on the line spring, summer, and fall. (I love taking advantage of the breeze from the open fields). - When my retractable clothesline finally broke, after being outside exposed to the elements for 20 years, I wanted to find one just like it and Amazon didn't disappoint! I didn't have to change the mounting or anything. I took the broken one down and just hung the new one. - This product is so useful and saves you money on electricity (and unless you're in politics or are ridiculously rich, who couldn't use that?). I give it 5 stars and would give it more if I could!

This is my third Sunline. The first lasted many years. The second only four, and this one...we shall see. I live in a harsh and brutal climate where the sun destroys all sorts of things. I think the heat is what caused my last one to lose the plastic coating on the the lines. They cracked, broke off and the fibers were exposed on the lines. One line broke. I got this on sale, it fit exactly like the old one so I didn't need to do any install, just hooked both ends. Some careful adjusting of the lines was required to take up the slack. This is important for even tension, and is done on the end that hooks into the bracket, not the housing.I can get four, sometimes five loads at a time to dry for free in the sun. Nothing smells better than fresh off the line sheets and towels!I have no idea how long this will last, but it's a great clothesline for the price.

This is our 2nd 17145-1 Aluminum Retractable Clothesline. The first one lasted 25 years and was still going strong, except the plastic clotheslines were getting soiled-looking (we live in coastal Oregon and mildew is an issue in the winter). Installation is a breeze: two bolts at each end to mount the main unit and the receiver, then a simple procedure to equalize initial tension on each line, and you're done. Pull the head out of the main unit and latch it over the receiver, then turn the big knob on the main unit to tighten and lock the line tension, hang your clothes. When they're dry, take them down, release the lock button on the main unit, unhook the head from the receiver and wind the lines back into the main unit. You're done. Two minutes tops. Depending on where you install it (ours is on a covered rear deck) we suggest setting the mounting height two or three inches above the tallest family member.From the outside, the new unit appers to be identical to the old one, so we're hoping it'll go 25 years too :-). We highly recommend this product.

Works great easy to install

Need a good size and fit for hanging clothes, this one is the right choice, it's solid and the materials are long lasting...is the 2nd I purchased over years.
