Retractable Clothesline Clothes Line Retracting Outdoor/Indoor, Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Adjustable Drying Rope Wire Dryer with ABS case+Aluminum, Self Adhesive Wall Mount 13.8 Feets Silver

Sleek and aesthetic enough to be put up indoors, and weatherproof/heavy duty enough to go outside, though I expect if you installed outside (and wanted to remove it eventually, as in the case of a rental or moving), you might want to coat your screws with a water-repelling gel to prevent rust. You can buy a pack of that stuff for like $1.50 at pretty much any hardware or auto store.Line itself is heavy wire coated in a vinyl material, to protect clothes from snags and the wire from water. Lock works well, and is easy to read; for higher visibility, you could easily brush the top of the raised words with a sharpie or other permanent ink. The retractable function is handy bc it doesn't have to be out all the time, though it's not quite strong enough to just snap back in, (I assume for safety reasons) you'll have to walk it back.The box came packed with instructions (easy enough to follow by context, though I'd recommend trying to read through BEFORE the day of install, just to make sure you've got it correct),all required hardware (screws & optional anchors),two metal brackets, (1 small, 1 big)both plastic sides of the clothesline, (1 small, 1 big)5 high-tensile metal (no-snag) clothespins,and what amounts to a small tube of superglue. (???)Now. I marked & drilled pilot holes into the drywall+stud for the larger side using a drill and around a 3/8th bit. Aligned the plate and swapped for a philips bit, and screwed the bugger into the wall for real. Quick and easy. Main line box slides right over the plate and clicks into place, meaning if you don't hear/feel a click, it's not secure.✨MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON A STUD!✨It's gotta hold up to 45 lbs, after all! Don't wreck your drywall by missing the stud underneath.On the receiving side (make sure you measure to make sure the line will reach) I was working on bare concrete, so I swapped for a rotary hammer. Loud & messy, and not my favorite tool to use --but that's on me, not the product.Anyway, rinse & repeat. Place the smaller plate where you want it, mark the holes, and drill pilots. I had to use a 3/8th ✨Masonry Bit✨ for concrete. Remember those optional anchors? Those are intended for masonry or brick. A screw's threads won't cut into stone the way they do wood. Tap anchors in the pilot holes GENTLY (or they'll bend) with a hammer til they're flush. Swapped masonry bit out for the phillips head & the rotary hammer function off. Align plate with pilot holes, screw the sucker in. Once the metal plate is affixed, the plastic cover snaps over it and you're done. The end of the line snaps down into the plate FIRMLY with no wiggle. Watch your fingertips! Lock the line (from the other side) & you're set.I love this cute lil thing. LOVE that it retracts into a small little box. Definitely safe for clothes, thanks to the coated line. Holds plenty of weight as long as it's installed properly & the line is locked. Make sure you set your install point high enough that what you'll hang wont drag (think a few inches taller than a beach towel).Only reason I gave it a 4 star for "ease of install" was bc of my necessary install location lol. That said, if you want to mount this thing to concrete or brick like I did, you'll NEED a hammer drill or a rotary hammer, depending on the age/hardness of said stonemasonry. DO NOT FORGET those anchors.In the event of attaching to wood, a regular drill will do.TL;DR: Use common sense & correct tools.Read the instructions before starting.Check the distance b/w intended points on STUDS.Check the desired install height; add 3 inch for droop.Measure twice, drill once.**Note:** I fully skipped the glue, because I wasn't entirely sure why they inculded it in the first place.

Great for holding heavy wet towels and swim suits. Love it.

Small and compact. Design is good but one feature or issue I see could be getting and setting the tension of the line. A little better mounting system could be used one on it a little cheap. Other than that the price is affordable and works great other than there is alot of sag due to no way to tighten tension. Only a knob to lock.

I found this easy to install; based off other reviews and general personal experience I figured the drywall anchors or adhesive that came with the package might not be the way to go, so I got out a stud finder and made sure the screws were mounted directly into a stud – I’ve had no issues with the pieces pulling off the wall, after putting many heavier objects on the line for almost two months.I also extended the line a few inches with a length of chain from the hardware store – I’m using the black plastic line with hanger holes at its full length to get the advantage of my upstairs skylight for drying inside during the day. Sagging isn’t an issue so long as you lock the line – I don’t remember seeing that in the instructions so it took a couple uses for me to realize I could lock it. In the attached photo the line is locked and has a load of towels hung on it with practically no sag.The line retracts smoothly and the little holding box folds away to sit against the wall with minimal footprint when not in use. I’ve used both the hanger holes and just draped things directly on the line with no issue.I only bought this because my landlord is being characteristically slow to fix a broken dryer, but line drying has been very convenient (and with this line there’s no extra storage space needed as there would be for a drying rack, an important consideration in an apartment) and obviously a better environmental choice, so I’m actually quite glad I got this and would buy it again just because.

The media could not be loaded.

I really like this clothesline. The holes in it make hanging shirts and other things on hangers so much easier, plus it keeps drying space between items for faster and more even drying. It's easy to use with the hook across the way and the switch to lock it in place is a better design than another clothesline I have. I thought I'd like another clothes line I also got here on amazon better, but this one is better. My only complaint is that is was a little difficult to install. I screwed it to the wall and wouldn't recommend using the glue they provide, personally. Overall this clothesline was a really good buy!

This was easy to install and seems very sturdy - I dried 3 towels and a throw rug at the same time and it didn't complain. The owner was also very pleasant to interact with.

it’s a pretty cool unit I like the stainless wire and the clips and it seems to work well I would’ve given it five stars except the mounting bracket on the main unit that has the retractable wire in it fits rather loosely and shakes around and it’s possible to knock it off when you’re trying to pull the wire out

Hello.... I would like to take a moment and review the ABHILWY Retractable Clothes Line. The first. thing that I noticed is the really nice finish on the main part of the clothes line body. I chose the Gold finish and the looks of the outer box portion are really nice. I really like the lock down feature, after pulling out the clothes line portion to the desired length and locking the end into the opposite end portion.. the main body piece has a lock feature that prevents any sagging in the line part after cloths or other items have been placed on the line. The addition of 5 clothes line clips was also really nice, as my wife and I are seniors the clips are easy to open with our aged fingers. One other feature is the coated clothes line, it has a very smooth finish that will help prevent and catches to the threads of the items placed on the clothes line. Both my wife and I are very happy with our purchase of the ABHILWY Retractable Clothesline Clothes Line. The instructions for installation of the ABHILWY Retractable Clothes Line were very easy to understand and the installation did not take me very long to do.

La fixeture ne vaut pas grand chose au mur… Il faut faire attention lorsqu’on touche la boîte lorsqu’on fait rentrer le fil de fer. Outre ça, c’est vraiment ultra pratique. Nous l’avons installé près du poêle à bois et on y accroche les vêtements mouillés de neige pour qu’ils sèche rapidement. Ensuite up, on rentre le fil. Mieux qu’un gros rack a sortir et à ranger chaque fois. Je recommande, ne reste qu’à trouver une façon que la boîte soit plus solide, Ceci dit, la fixeture qui tient la boîte et qui est vissée au mur est parfaite. C’est vraiment juste une fois qu’on met la boîte qu’il faut faire attention. Il faut juste ne pas trop jouer avec je suppose.

We really needed a compact solution for hanging clothes to dry in our place, so we were thrilled to find this product.It's a good little unit. The line is steel and feels very sturdy. We don't have a tonne of laundry or a long run for the line, so I haven't tested it under a heavy load, but I suspect it would hold up well.The mounting hardware is also very solid. We had to put one end into a wooden stud behind drywall and the other into cement, and the provided anchors worked well for both. The steel plates on which the plastic parts are mounted seem very strong.I hope the plastic is equally good. I would love to see an all-metal version.Deciphering the setup instructions was a bit challenging. However, once we have up trying to understand every word and diagram and just went by logic, it went well. The trick is that on the main housing, you need to position it so that where the line comes out (not the centre of the unit) is aligned with the centre of the stud and the clip at the other end.The line sags a bit if you just string it across, which is a shame. It would be great if you could tighten the line after connecting it at the far end. To hang it taut, I actually lock the line before hooking it in. Takes a bit of effort but stays taut once in place.Overall, I like this unit and would definitely recommend it, but I do see opportunities for improvement.P.S. The seller is also the manufacturer, and they seem really nice! I wish them continued success.

Un peu difficile à installer car les pieces ne sont pas telles que décrites dans les instructions. Mais une fois installé c'est parfait

Très bon
