Good design, took a minute to figure out
By amazon3131
I've had this retractable clothesline for about a year or so. It's not hard to install: you screw it into a handy wall or fence post. Make sure that it's tightly fixed into something sturdy. Then you need to install a hook for the other end of the line, which can be any sort of sturdy cup hook. The flimsy decorative one that I started with (it was already installed and had been used to corral a line of Christmas lights) did not work.
When you want to hang something outside, you pull the plastic D-ring out of the spool, walk it over to your hook, and then go back to the spool and loop a little extra cord around a saucer-shaped stopper on the bottom. That loop (which I prefer to pull very tight) holds the cord in place. If you don't do that, then the first thing you put on the line will make more cord come out of the spool until everything's on the ground. When you're done, just unwind the loop and unhook the end. The line will automatically retract. It's good the Portable clothes rack.
This device is useful for any length of space up to about 40 feet. I'm currently using mine in a sort of zig-zag pattern so that the line makes three trips across a space that's about thirteen feet long (using a total of three hooks). The advantage to this is that I can use a relatively long and narrow bit of my deck to hang up the laundry and still get quite a bit of line space, since it uses all of the available line. Forty feet will hang a total of twenty T-shirts or pairs of jeans.
The only thing that I dislike about this is the material that the actual line is made from. After enough use, it tends to stretch a bit, and it's really hard to keep it from sagging. I think that my next clothesline will use proper vinyl-coated, wire-reinforced clothesline, just like Mama had.

Save your money
By Mouse
I don't like giving bad reviews but in this case it's justifyed. I have owned 2 of these, thinking that the failure of the first may have been a fluke I bought a second one. Both units were very flawed, the lock that holds the line will suddenely unlocks and lets all of the extra line loose, sending the clothes crashing to the floor. It's not a matter of overloading the lines either. I've had it to unlock with only 1 shirt. But if you unlike me, enjoy picking fresh laundry up off the floor then by all means this is the one to buy. Maybe it should be remarketed as exercise equiptment! lol

Give this clothes line no further consideration
By Stephen A. Ferreira
While the overall design is basically OK, the mounting bracket is plastic and broke after 10 months of light use rendering the entire product useless. The bracket should be made of metal to better support clothes pin to 40' of line. Don't bother with this item unless you don't mind replacing it within one year or are only planning on hanging underwear and socks on the line.
