Minky 30m Retractable Clothes Line, Extendable Washing Line, Double Line

Have had one of these before and it remains a great quality, easy to install and use twin clothesline unit. Good to see they have redesigned the wrapping lugs on the underside. The old version had mouldings on the body but the newer version has separate screwed on parts that are more robust and look less likely to crack after prolonged exposure to sunlight. They hold the line very well too. The internal retraction mechanisms have worked perfectly so far and the lines are a decent thickness that doesn't stretch excessively in use. Overall the whole quality appears to be up to the standard expected of the name, which has previously proven to give good longevity, making this a good value product.

Happy with my retractable washing line. Its sturdy & easy to use retracts when not in use and this saves space. Ir has a double line & is useful as it gives me plenty of room for hanging clothes & towels & bedding. Good quality & good value for money.

This is the second of these Minky clothes lines that I have bought, with this one being a direct replacement for the first. The product is fairly easy to install if you can do a bit of basic DIY. Drill two vertically stacked holes in your wall, screw in the mounting post, and then slot the plastic housing containing the reel onto the top. Once in use, the clothes line is effective, you drag the end of the line over to your chosen attachment point, and then you walk back and wrap a section of clothes line around an oval shaped plastic retainer at the bottom of the reel housing, which keeps the line taught. What I found was that after maybe 3 or 4 years of use, the aforementioned plastic oval retainer became brittle and snapped off, meaning I could no longer anchor the clothes line. Apart from this issue, I had been completely happy with the product, so I chose to order the same again, as I already had the correct mounting post up on the wall. Taking the reasonable price into account, I felt that 3-4 years was decent value for the product. Plastic does become brittle and snap when constantly exposed to the elements, so you can't expect it to last forever if it's permanently kept outside. You could of course detach the reel from the mount (very easy to do, it simply slides on and off) and store it indoors or in your shed when not in use, which would no doubt prolong its life, although this would be a bit inconvenient.

Item as described, great easy product to use and fit with included fixings. Been using mine for about a year now and not shown any signs of wear, can be fitted in any position of your choosing so its suitable for all types of areas or gardens. The retractable line is is perfect for when not in use so the garden can be used as normal.

We have had one of these since 2018 and have only just had to replace it. It has had 8 years of very heavy use by a family of 5 who generate so much washing we have two washing machines. So you can imagine what this line has had to withstand! At 8 years old, the line had started disintegrating an also became sticky to touch. The bits you wrap the line around to tie it off had broken off years ago so we have been using hooks that i had fixed to the wall directly under the washing line. I have just received the brand new replacement that I ordered and was glad to see the same wall fixing bracket in the box. It meant I could swap the unit over without needing to drill new holes. The tie off points look like they have been improved too, so we are going to use those until they break (they inevitably will given our heavy duty use!). In summary, I am mighty impressed with the longevity of this item - anything that is used as much as ours has been and lasts 8 years gets top notch rating in my book! Don't bother with the cheaper unbranded alternatives; Minky all the way!

I bought the Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line to make better use of my outdoor space, and it has been a great solution. The two 15 metre lines provide plenty of drying space for everyday laundry, while the retractable design keeps everything neat and tidy when not in use. Installation was straightforward, and the reel feels sturdy and well made. The lines extend smoothly and lock securely in place, making it easy to hang a full load of washing without worrying about the line sagging too much. The grey finish also looks smart and blends nicely into the garden. One of the best features is how much space it saves compared with a traditional washing line. When the laundry is finished, the lines simply retract away, leaving the area clear and uncluttered. It is especially useful for smaller gardens, patios or anyone who wants a flexible drying option. Overall, this is a practical and reliable washing line that does exactly what it promises. It is easy to use, offers plenty of drying room and helps keep outdoor spaces tidy. A great choice for anyone looking for a convenient alternative to a fixed washing line.

Returned to a Minky branded retractable clothes line after trying a cheaper alternative. The quality of the line seems to be the most important thing. The cheaper models have stretchy feeble lines that droop and stretch. Minky lines don’t sag or stretch and simply work for hanging out the washing. Installation requires a decent drill with a hammer setting. Fixings need to go into brick (not the mortar line) or concrete. The retraction is ok but not perfect. Overall it wins because of the line quality and I am therefore a Minky Man.

A brilliant twin retractable clothes line. Well made and works well.

Comprato da una decina di giorni. Mia madre entusiasta mi ha fatto un monumento per questo piccolissimo e funzionale stendi panni. Dotato di un ottimo cavo avvolgente in nylon lungo 15 metri è la soluzione ideale per la terrazza di mia madre lunga 12 metri. Il cavo scorre molto bene e si riavvolge altrettanto bene. In corredo troverete anche tre tasselli per fissare il Minky. Due per l'avvolgi cavo ed uno da mettere dalla parte opposta per agganciarlo. Sotto il Minki troverete una sporgenza dove poter bloccare il filo in modo che con il peso non si srotoli e venga giù tutto. Quindi per montarlo basta un trapano ed un muro dove poter fissare il tutto oppure un'altra superficie purché resistente a tenere tutto il peso dei panni appesi. Che dire : per quello che costa se un giorno si rompe ne ricompro altri due. Saluti .

Excellent and I got it at a very good price point then. Sturdy and very well made, will last for years.

Har den under tak på altanen. Smidigt att kunna hänga tvätt ute på vintern. Bra att kunna fälla in linorna på sommaren, om man vill kunna sitta där.

Entrega integra e no prazo, excelente compra.

Great item, strong sturdy construction. Easy to fit. Does the job.
