Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line, Grey, 2x15m

Product Information

At 8 metres long this is far from the longest washing line in this list, but considering it is completely portable, it’s a good size and more than enough for a small family on a caravan holiday or camping trip. Each line can be pulled out individually and also locked using a little slider above it on the housing.

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. Since I first reviewed this unit the ratings have slipped slightly but you get what you pay for, this is the cheapest unit and so therefore not fair to compare it to a top model. This has to be a key question – the better ones will normally carry 15kg or so which is enough for the average family wash but if you had a whole line of jeans then I think you might be in trouble with big gusts of wind! Although not the longest washing line among our featured products, at 15 metres you can still get a decent amount of washing on there, and it would be just fine for any average sized family. Garden Mile Retractable Automatic Clothes Washing Line is remarkably similar in design to my top pick Vileda but only offers a total of 12 Metres in length.Because of the excellent design of these units, you don’t have to fit them while carrying the weight of the unit itself. The Beldray can pivot on this bracket in the same way as the Vileda Cordomatic, a feature I wasn’t expecting on such an inexpensive retractable washing line. Obviously, metal is more resistant to impact damage and temperature variations, but rust is always a threat to any metal object left outdoors.

The Minky 30m Outdoor Retractable Reel has 2 15 m washing lines to provide a total drying length of 30 m, which is sufficient for about 2 loads of washing. The three lines are cotton core nylon and this makes them both flexible and strong and less likely to cause damage to the things you hang up. We have partnerships with key vendors of quality raw materials and components across the world, guaranteeing both product quality and reliability supply. But on the downside don’t be fooled, you’ll need an area of 2m by 2m to fit this washing line in, it’s no small compact unit at all. I bought and tested a new retractable washing line for Summer and I have to say I absolutely love what I saw for the money.The Minky Retractable Washing Line provides you 30m of drying space and is ideal for small gardens, patios, and balconies. Our rotary washing lines are perfect for doing just that and they come in a range of different sizes and styles to suit any outdoor space. The first question that you need to ask yourself is- where do I intend to use my retractable washing line?
