Rotary Essential 50m

Excellent Rotary Drier, Meets all my washing needs, sturdy with nice taut lines, also able to remove it when not in use, and holds lots of washing, more than happy with my purchase.

This is one big beast of a rotary washing line. Looks great, provides space for an enormous amount of laundry. Very satisfied.

This was bought to replace an old, fallling apart rotary dryer. The old one had loose 'cables' and certainly needed replacing. We did a fair bit of research before purchasing this one. It had to be - well made - cable goes through holes in the arms and not wrapped around those plastic hooks - will last several years - easy to put up and take down This hit everything we wanted and the reviews I read were certainly correct - this is a good product. Why not 5 stars? - the plastic ground tube it comes with is a waste of time. It won't keep it upright and no idea why it is even supplied. Get a Brabantia metal spike along with the dryer. That is a solid spike and does exactly what it should do. Just make sure you take your time getting it set up - its worth it to make sure it is straight! They should provide the spike or tell you to buy it if you don't have one already. It would then get the full 5 stars.

Excellent products very satisfied

Having a back yard laid entirely of flagstone, I bought this rotary specifically to fit into my existing parasol base, which it does very nicely. The inside diameter of the base is probably 42mm and I struggled to find either a line post or a rotary slim enough to fit it. So, to some extent, this was Hobson's choice being the only thing I could find below about 50mm; though I was happy to buy quay and glad I did. With an upright pole of 35mm it is more than a comfortable fit, and a bracket in the base allows us to tighten it up. Apart from being able to move the line to wherever I want, fitting it like this means I have control over its rotation (this basic rotary is not designed to rotate, except due to its fit within its holder), to make life a bit easier when hanging the washing up. We have a very heavy/sturdy base, but still the whole thing has toppled in high winds. I've mitigated this by hanging the heaviest items towards the middle, and then stopped it entirely by feeding the rotary upright through the hole in the picnic table with the base underneath. I was worried that by not sinking into the ground it would be too high for me to load clothes onto, but I can reach all of it perfectly well (I and 5'4"). On the product itself, it is very light to carry to and from its place of use and it opens and closes seemlessly. There is more hanging space than I feel I could ever need (so far, never more than 2/3 full and that's without using all of the adjacent lines to give items more air room). The quality could not be better and the product arrived quickly. Good value, in my view. A great alternative to a fixed/retractable line, which has allowed us to avoid drilling holes into our walls or digging a hole.

Good sturdy item.

Fabulous love this washing line had one for over 20 years got up last week and it was in heap on my garden not bad for 20 year use so decided to purchase another one great very sturdy lots of room for the largest of washing love it

This is a very well made item, probably the best we have ever had, and does the job well. But it is very hard work if you are ancient and arthritic and after 18 months we are going to have to replace it with a less difficult model. It is not "compact", it is big, if Brabantia made a really compact version we would probably buy it. First of all you have to get the extra metal spike and bash it into the ground (aided by a spirit level) as the supplied tube is useless. The dryer rotates well in this ground spike as it is a made loose but there is no leaning problem. However the whole unit comes out of the ground as you apply the upward force to raise it. You have to grab the pole with one hand and hold it down while you raise the arms with the other hand -- but we need two hands for the raising. The final clipping into the raised position is very hard indeed, a three hand job, and we thought it was because of the tension in the cords so we purchased the re-cord kit with the very clever joining pieces. We re-corded the whole thing to be less tight. Waste of time and money as it is still very hard to raise and we just cannot leave it in the upper position because of space problems. If it had been really compact we could have left it in the raised position. So do not buy this excellent item unless you have a lot of space and are really fit, it will give you good exercise.

Very good quality, strong with very good lines.

De droogmolen viel bij de eerst gelegenheid om, ondanks een zware voet, en meteen was een van de armen flink verbogen. Valt me tegen dat hij zo kwetsbaar is.

Solide et pratique

Je suis très satisfait de ce séchoir rotatif Brabantia Essential ! Il est parfait pour s'étendre le linge à l'extérieur avec un minimum d'espace. Les cordes antidérapantes et résistantes aux UV sont de haute qualité et assurent un séchage efficace2. Le système de tension parapluie est facile à utiliser et permet de tendre les cordes uniformément. De plus, l'anneau de suspension robuste rend le rangement simple et pratique2. Je recommande vivement ce séchoir à tous ceux qui cherchent une solution de séchage de linge extérieure fiable et durable.

Sehr gut und platzsparend, einfach zum aufstellen.
