Robust item that will help ease the load of family laundry
Minky retractable double clothes line. A good quality item with two 15m lines. I have a pretty decent size garden but this does the job nicely. No more waiting for the previous load to dry before hanging another. I measured my garden before purchasing to ensure the length is sufficient. Allow for optimum drying space by mounting each line at different angles. Think about where the lines will actually run rather than just measuring your garden from end to end. Once the line is hooked, secure it by wrapping around the notches on the bottom of the housing. Note that the lines retract extremely quickly so ensure you have a good grip of the line to control speed and avoid any nasty surprises. Indeed it's so fast that I tend to keep the lines wrapped around the notches until I'm ready to retract. One minor criticism I have is that the instructions do not state the correct size of drill bit required for the supplied rawlplugs so I took great care by drilling the holes in stages to ensure a secure fit.Read full review

Not that robust
Not as good as a previous & different model used before. A lot cheaper but you can tell. You have to wind the washing round the feet at least twice before it is able to take the weight of a washing. It may be this one is faulty but it could also just be poorer quality. Other than that it serves its purpose. Not the quality of o9thers I have had but paid just over half of previous, You get what you pay for I supposeRead full review

A well designed product, good value for money and fit for purpose.
Found this product to be very satisfactory. Like the fact that you can retract the lines into the housing unit after each use and the whole unit can also be removed very easily (useful during the cold months!!) by simply removing 2 pins. Also pleased with the length of the lines when fully extended which gives ample space for amount of washing a family of 4 generates.Read full review

Works well, just need the sun now!
Good quality retractable line, the locking feature could be better as I cannot get the line as tight as I want, but it works well and gives a good length of line in a very tidy package

Perfect practical washing line solution
Replaced my old rotary line with this - great choice!
Pros - easy & quick to fit (fitted it between 2 trees but could have used walls). Retracts so no unsightly washing line or hole in the lawn when we’re in the garden plus no need to use space to store it away. Takes plenty of washing ie full load. Yes it dips under the heavy weight of washing of course but a washing line prop sorts that out. I have an extendable prop from Addis which is excellent & doesn’t come undone or bend like the cheaper twist types, plus it’s British :). Washing dries quicker as it’s not close together like on the rotary line.
Cons - I haven’t found any yet.Read full review

Great to use with plenty of washing line space.
Very happy with this product. Especially like the simple design feature that enables you to bring the entire unit indoors when not in use. This keeps everything clean for the next use.
Would definitely recommend as a very simple & aesthetically pleasing solution to outdoor drying.Read full review

Good value, only one small flaw
Had 2 of these now and they are great. The wind back system never failed and had the first one for 3 years before needing to replace it. The only reason to replace it was the plastic parts that stick off the bottom that the line wraps around to keep it taught, they started breaking apart. I would still recommend it though as it’s good value and looks neat when mounted.Read full review

Big enough for your small's!!
Simple to install and use, easy to extend to required length and secure off. Need wash-line poles when extended at length as the line can 'droop' when a full load is on it even when you have tightened it to humanly possible.Read full review

Sturdy, quality product from Minky - in Rochdale.
I bought this to replace a similar but cheaper product that had come to the end of its useful life. The mounting bracket is very substantial, I found my old one had bent with use! Good quality line, easy to put up and retract to leave the garden looking tidy.Read full review

Minky
My first cat was called Minky. He was a slick grey beast with powerful claws who could cling onto your leg and not be removed until he was satisfied.
He also, once, got his head stuck in a tin can out of the bin, but that's another story.
In much the same way, this piece of kit is reminiscent of that creature in its look, feel, and demeanour, without the tendency to go through the garbage.
I'm happy to have an improved version of Minky back in my life once again.Read full review

Great to have a proper wash line again
Just what l wanted, one line for small washes and both for a larger wash. Very good quality for the price, easy to use, works for any length upto 15mtrs. Brilliant.
