Minky VT20500103 Retractable Reel Washing Line with 15 m of Drying Space, Grey

Product Information

Home Retail Group Card Services Limited is registered in England (04007072) at 33 Holborn, London, United Kingdom, EC1N 2HT. Based on my findings, I chose the Vileda Cordomatic 15 metre retractable washing line which had the highest percentage of 4 and 5 star ratings and the lowest number of 1 or 2 stars. Extend the line to the fixing location and lock it on to the reel side by looping it twice around the locking cleat at the bottom of the reel. Have made many varied purchases over the years and would highly recommend Wades for all DIY, hardware and electrical goods. The backing plate, which is made from steel and has two pre-drilled holes, feels really strong, and I don’t believe this would ever break.

I looked in detail at the Minky retractable washing line and the thousands of reviews it has received online and while the product is similar, it doesn’t appear as sturdy. The rest of the product is made from hard plastic, and upon inspection, I couldn’t find any obvious weak spots, although an all-metal product would obviously be much stronger.

Simply hang your clothes up with pegs, cover up and turn on to see your clothes dry in as little as 90 minutes. I loaded the line up with towels, a jacket, bed duvet, duvet cover, 2 x boots, shoes and other items of clothing and the line slipped!

Daniel conducted a meta-analysis of hundreds of online reviews for dozens of popular retractable washing lines and then selected the top two for testing. It attaches to the wall with a hook which means it can simply be clipped to remove it when it’s not needed.

All you need to apply is to have a debit or credit card, to be over 18 years of age, and to be a UK resident. We understand that sometimes you may change your mind about an item or not like how it looks when it arrives. I used to be lazy and put my radiators on just to dry my washing, but with the current cost-of-living crisis and skyrocketing gas bills, I purchased the two highest-rated and best retractable washing lines I could find and put them to the test.

We may not be able to deliver some large items (eg ironing boards) to some areas of Scotland (including Highlands) or offshore locations (including Channel Isles, Northern Ireland, Isles of Man, Wight, Scilly, Orkney and Shetland). A quick tip; wrap the line twice around the node at the base of the unit to stop the line from slipping.

Cookies are small files held on your computer which allow us to give you the best browsing experience possible.Based on my experience; if you extend the washing line up to 10 metres, you won’t need a pole to prop it up. I drilled directly into the brick face as that’s the toughest part of the wall and I wound the hook into a nearby tree trunk. Today, we proudly operate from an even larger warehouse, delivering unrivaled services you can rely on.
