Good quality & value for money
As described,seems far more sturdy and robust than previous cheaper lines, the only gripe I have is the line is smooth rather than the good old fashioned 'rope' line which I find both the pegs and prop grip to better, but I have searched everywhere and to date have found that the rope line doesn't exist with the retractable type. overall good buy and would recommend.Read full review...

How to improve a Vileda
I have had a number of these Vileda Outdoor Washing lines and I usualy get approximately one year out of them before replacing for new. All fail in the same place. At the end where the Vileda is secured to the wall to get tension on the line and secure it you have to wrap the line round the fitting on the base of the Vileda. After you have used the line for some months the plastic covering the line tends to perish and the nylon line is exposed and then twist and finally the line will not return into the housing. I am sure this design fault could be removed but then perhaps it would last to long ??????? lRead full review...

Easy to fit and easy to use.
Bought this to replace an old line that was just a length of rope ... It looked awful and was hanging there all the time ... The Vileda line will coil back into its plastic body and has greatly improved the sitting area in the garden ... No more unsightly droopy rope to duck under ... Garden photos look so much better too ... No home should be without a Vileda retractable clothes line ... This was so good that we bought one for our Daughters garden ... Yet another happy household !Read full review...

Excellent product
I have recently replaced my old one with a new one. Works entirely as expected, needed to replace as last one broke - it was about 15 years old and had been used weekly.

Good price but issues with rewinding
Good price. Doesn’t rewind particularly well, sometimes the rewind mechanism requires a little help to wing the line back in. Our old one, brand??, almost dragged me into the housing.

Weight of washing pulled cord out mechanism on 1st go!
Plus
A really good idea.
Washing line that is put out of the way out of use.
Sleek design
Negative
The cord came out of mechanism on 1st use which isn't a great start. Waiting on seller to sort out.Read full review...

Overall pleased with it and it does the job
My old retractable line lasted well over 10 years and had a stronger spring .
This one works OK though .. I saw a review that suggested winding the line round the spigot to lock it caused the line to snap at that point after about a year . To avoid this I thread the line back between the unit and the fixing bracket then let the spigot just pinch the line both back and out. It makes it a bit more fiddly to put up ,but reduces wear and tear.
Overall pleased with it and it does the job .. 10 years is the target !Read full review...

Good known brand
Excellent quality with a good thick line, unlike some others. It also has a strong metal loop for on the end for hooking. Added to that, it's a well known trusted make. definitely worth consideration.

Space saving works well with light loads of washing but no good for heavy loads
I bought this retractable washing line as I had one in my old house. They are great if you don’t want a normal washing line as they’re space saving and can recoil when not in use. The only thing that is a disappointment is the actual line,When I do my bedding and towels it goes up and is supported by 2 line props to lift it higher but it starts too unravel it’s self so it’s not very good for any heavy loads of washing. That’s the only thing that’s wrong with it and let’s it down otherwise it’s brill.Read full review...
