Brabantia Topspinner Large Rotary Washing Line with Metal Ground Spike, Metallic Grey, 60 M, 45 mm

Good sturdy clothes dryer, very easy to put up and take down

Title gives a bit more excitement than it actually should do, is it a really thick poled well finished rotary washing line - yes indeed. The girth of the thing was double that of the Addis one it replaced so silly me thought i'd use the existing ground spike to simply place this bad boy in and job done, its really thick so definitely needed the supplied spiked. I proceeded to follow the instructions cutting with a spade in the lawn but even then it felt like i was going to be hammering for about a week to get this thing in the ground, got there in the end (although as you can see i didn't have a sledgehammer which would probably make the job easier? not sure). I used my leaded hammer which was actually better than my metal hammer. Use a piece of wood otherwise the top of the metal spike will get absolutely battered trying to get this thing drilled home to the centre of the earty. Its a lot taller than my previous line which is good for me as i don't get a corner in the eye everytime i walk in the garden. This should last a very long time, my previous one lasted at least 10 years before snapping and this one appears far superior, i'll obviously update should this one rot out in the next 12 months, although i might actually invest in a cover for this to keep the line a bit more protected in the winter. Worth the money when on offer £73 was my price, not sure the RRP of over £100 is worth it though although for 60m of hanging space it probably is to some people.

We bought the 40 metre version and it arrived nicely packaged and is really well constructed and finished having some decent weight to it. I had quite a bit of trouble hammering in the ground spike even though the soil was heavily watered but got there in the end using a lump of wood and club hammer! I wasn’t able to get it perfectly straight though but it’s certainly good enough. It can be easily removed if required and the ground stake has a red cap stopper to keep the elements out, although we have a cover and prefer to leave it in place with that on other than when cutting the grass. We had no issues doing that as the stake rim sits well below the grass level. In use it says it’s a ‘top spinner’ but it does not rotate easily at all, even with a line full of sheets in a very decent stiff breeze ! It seems like it would need a gale force wind for it to ‘ spin like a charm ‘ as per the description! This is because the spin top section sits against the clip that holds it all up so there is a lot of friction there to stop the “spin”. Sure enough you can spin it round if you physically turn it when pegging the washing out , otherwise it just stays put! So that is disappointing. On the plus side it is very well constructed and is much easier to put up than are old one, and the main pole has a cap on the bottom to stop water ingress via the ground stake. The cord is well made and goes through the arms via protected eyelets , much better than clips like our old one. The 40 metre version we bought offers loads of room for a full washing load including sheets, towels, shirts etc. When folded down it has a handy rubber strap that keeps it neatly together. All in all very pleased with it apart from the lack of supposed tip spin. So loses a star.

Well worth the price

Easy to put up ( into existing hole) and seems strong and stable, even on windy days.

Delivered on time, well packaged.

After two very disappointing experiences - one with Home Laundry product and one with Homegear rotary line (one star only here) I at last found a perfect rotary line. My old one after 20 plus years, finally died so I was in a bit of a pickle trying to find a new one, especially after two disappointments. The Brabantia topspinner is performing perfectly. Have now used it around 8 times since purchase, including hanging king size very thick cotton bedspreads which are used as throws on the sofa and chairs. Yes it is a bit high, but who wants their king size duvet cover trailing on the garden? Plenty of room for loads of washing, full king size bed linen change, full bathroom and kitchen towel wash and personal items too. It has an umbrella type of opening with three stages if the lines ever get a bit slack. Each line is individually strung allowing for tightening - it comes with a page showing how to do this. It circles freely in the wind and has a very sturdy ground spear. Love it. Only negative, for this price they should include a cover.

Had it up all summer and its brilliant and sturdy, only thing I don't like about it, is that it's not very high. Good for shorter people

Bends to easily, bit cheap.

Very sturdy and easy to set up. Absolutely love this retractable clothes line. I also bought the cover to keep it clean and bird poo free. Looks great and it works as it should. 5 🌟!

Bellissimo

Envío muy rápido y buena calidad.

Pleinement satisfaite de ce séchoir. La longueur des fils permet d'étendre beaucoup de linge ! La grande envergure permet d'y mettte aussi bien du petit linge que des housses de couette. Je peux y mettre plus de 2 machines (voir trois) de 9kg. Au bout de chaque branche on peut glisser un ceintre, pratique pour sécher une veste ou un manteau ! Le système d encrage est impeccable ! Bien qu'il fasse faire attention à le mettre droit car quelques cm de decallage et c'est tout le tourniquer qui est pas droit. Quand on l enlève de son support,un petit bouchon est fournit pour empêcher eau terre ou pelouse de rentrer dedans. De plus le systeme tourne donc plus besoin de se déplacer autour. Je recommande cet article pour sa robustesse et son côté vraiment pratique. Si mon commentaire vous a été utile, n hésitez pas à le signaler ci dessous.
