Product Information

Gets a bit unstable when windy - previous customers recommended adding extra support and using your own screws to keep the line stable The Vileda 60 Metre Super Dry Hoist Rotary Airer comes with a crank handle, and users frequently note how easy it is to open/close the line. There’s no point buying a line that you can’t reach properly. Similarly, you need a line that’s tall enough (or can be adjusted), so your washing won’t drag along the floor. Your weekly laundry cycle: How many loads you do over a week can influence the size of your rotary washing line. There is no point going for a three-arm that can manage one load at a time when realistically, you need a four-arm that can handle up to 4+. Of course, the more space you have, the bigger the rotary washing line you can consider. Some offer as much as 60 metres of washing line space – enough to dry about six loads of washing in one go, but there's probably no point in getting one that size unless you think you will need it (the biggest ones take up about 3 metres squared when in use). How many arms should a rotary washing line have?

Brabantia with the cover. I have one of those covers, and it's great not having to get up when it looks like rain is on the way. If you look very somewhere really windy though, it does become about of a sail." (Tried and tested by didireallysaythat) Our verdict However, a word of warning if you plan on buying the Vileda Sun-Rise to replace your existing airer - it is flat-sided at the bottom and is highly unlikely to fit any existing circular holes.You can consider embedding the ground spike in concrete or plaster for extra support, but it is optional. How deep should a hole be for the ground spike? Brabantia, as a brand, really steals the show with Mumsnetters. Many raved about this product, the Brabantia Wall Fix, in particular, as a unique space-saving rotary washing line for small gardens or those without a suitable patio or lawn to fix a traditional one into. We had a Minky one at our last house. It had two lines, so it was great for a full load. No complaints." (Suggested by Mumsnet user WeAreTheHeroes)

In addition to this, if you’re going to go with a well-known brand, like Brabantia or Vileda, you’re likely to pay more for the expertise and exceptional build quality of the lines. On the other hand, if you’ve got a large family, say parents and two or three children, you might do more washing, and would need a bigger washing line. For this article, we collated a list of rotary washing lines that were tried, trusted and loved by Mumsnet users. We also listened to the needs and requirements of people asking for advice to ensure that we covered all bases. Expert opinion Most washing lines can be collapsed, so they become much smaller in size. This is particularly helpful if you need to pull the line down in bad weather, or if you want to remove the line from the ground and store it.

SPECIFICATION - 50M of PVC coated drying line, Size - Height: 175cm Diameter: 187cm Center pole diameter: 33mm Arm diameter: 13mm As if doing the laundry isn't already a chore, the Great British weather (hi rain!) can make getting things dry even more of a challenge. That's why the Chimney Sheep Large Laundry Mac laundry protector could come in handy. It's a cover with a diameter of up to 2.5 metres designed for rotary washing lines with three or four arms to keep the rain off and let you leave the washing out longer. It is much smaller than other models, with only 15m of line space. However, this may be enough depending on your needs and family size; for example, it is great for couples with a new baby! It does claim to hold one load of washing or possibly two if the loads are small. Our only recommendation is that you don't try to use it outside on a windy day, as the Minky only comes with a few ground pegs, which won't survive in a strong wind.A rotary line with three arms and 30 metres of drying space would be ideal. The Brabantia 30 Metre 3 Arm Compact Rotary Washing Line would be suitable in this case. Brabantia makes hanging out the laundry fun with the Topspinner rotary clothesline. Leaveyour laundry basket in one place, just turn your rotary clothesline and hang your washingwhere you want. The Topspinner really is a top turner, even if it is completely covered inlaundry. But that’s not all: the rotary clothesline is easy to open, and it has extra strong,UV-resistant anti-slip clotheslines. Thanks to the clever umbrella system, the lines are alsoalways tight. In addition to this, it’s also worth considering whether or not your laundry will have enough blowing room. You should have about an additional metre around your line for ‘blowing space’. Unlike a tumble dryer, a washing line doesn’t use electricity as you get to make use of the sunlight and the wind, and clothes can last longer and feel better when they’re dried naturally.

Built to withstand all weather and entirely rust-proof, its four-arm hoist system can hang out up to six loads of washing at once, giving you more of a chance of getting on top of your laundry mountain. Of course, even with the space-saving design of a rotary dryer, this one will take up more room than others on this list – it has four arms, and up to a whopping 3.16-metre diameter when fully extended on the 60m model, so make sure you've got room. It comes with a metal ground spike and a protective cover too, so you won't need to spend any extra money.What's better than saving money on your energy bill? Saving money on the rotary washing line you're purchasing. If you're looking for something simple to let you dry a whole load of washing outside at a very affordable price, then the Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line is for you. Although it isn't strictly a rotary washing line, we noticed that some Mumsnetters felt like they spoiled the view of their garden and preferred one that could be hidden - hence this recommendation. We also love that it is a budget-friendly alternative to our best rotary washing line. For example, if you get a lot of sun in one spot in the garden, but you haven’t got enough room for a large 60 metre rotary line, it would be better to get a smaller line. You could make the most out of sunlight by doing this. Plus, this would speed up your drying time considerably. Laura has also written articles for publications including the Daily Mirror, the i, Metro, Stylist and Happiful magazine. Why you should trust us For example, if you were drying large sheets, you’d need space for the sheets to blow up and around. You wouldn’t want them getting tangled on a branch!
