Let’s be honest, as washing lines go, this one ain’t cheap. But, it’s brilliant. When not in use its folded away. That alone opens up the garden. When it’s needed, it’s big enough to dry several washing loads at once. (We’ve got 3 adults in our house)
A great little close line, pull it out of its housing very easy and when finished it folds back into the housing very easily.
Lovely foldaway clothes line, in a metal box. I don’t like the look of unattended washing lines and this folds down and you don’t even know its there ! Holds a large amount of washing. Saves me from using the tumble drier!
Easy to assemble (with two people).
Ideal for small spaces.
Easy to put away.
Wish I’d bought it soone
Really pleased with my new wall mounted dryer. It was easy to attach to the wall. They include a template to help you. It’s big enough for a full load of washing. Large sheets do have to be folded in half. And it packs away neatly. Glad I bought it.
Overall I’m very happy with the product, delivery was fine, packaging was perfect and all the fixings were there. Instructions were ok and everything was great until the final stage of fitting the storage box but after removing it from the plastic bag finding it had not just one but two dents in the left hand door, one very noticeable. Had no choice but to fit it to protect the airer but I must say I’m very disappointed.
I loved the first one of these I bought. It was infinitely superior to this one! Cost 100 twice the price of my first one. Woukd not buy again.
The product was a brilliant conception but I think badly manufactured the doors on my clothes drier were flimsy and keep coming apart and for treble the price I paid for two previous airers I expected this product to be a lat sturdier will think carefully before buying anothe
I bought this as my last whirlybird broke got a friend to but it up on our back wall outside it’s a good line easy to use and pull out easy to put back in comes with a cover job done
Was unsure about this but read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. It is pricy but I my opinion well worth the money
I have no space for a standard rotary line or for a washing line so got this one & so glad I did. It has plenty of room for a full load & the bed stuff to
I am very impressed
Easy to fit as packaging has a template to cut out. Fitted with up windows frame screws and plugs. Stronger than supplier sent. Taking up far less room leaving more of backyard clear. Folds away nicely too.
Quite pleased with drier. Be aware of the closing casing. Very flimsy mine arrived with a couple of dents. I would advise to inspect casing before
placing drier on the wall.
Having a small garden, this was an ideal purchase. Easy to use and store.
Installation was straight forward and no issues. Fully charged drill and decent drill bits, makes it easier.
I thought this was very expensive compared to other similar items…. but this is exceptional quality and very robust, so turns out it is not similar to the other versions – glad I went for this version *****
Couldn’t be happier with this. It was a lot of money compared to some others, but now I see why. Study, roomy, but tidies away compact. Only thing that was naf was the plastic clip for the top that the bag fastens over. It didn’t go on properly, so had to leave it off. However the weather protection bag still goes over it all and seems to stay put.
Iv had my eye on thins product for ages but wasn’t sure it would be too heavy for the fence post. But in all honesty it is fabulous. Rock solid. And hold 3 loads of washing. Really happy with it.
This is easy to put up,very strong with plenty of room for your washing.Folds up quickly and the cover keeps it all clean and dry.
Thank you.
I am so impressed by the WallFix I wanted to write a review and recommendation. I paid 92 from Amazon and it faithfully arrived the next day (thanks Prime!). I’m aware a rotary line, clothes airer or piece of rope could cost much less – I’ve had too many snapped, buckled, broken bits of plastic to throw away that I wanted something of better build quality. Here’s why I am delighted with my purchase choice…
Fixing:
It is largely assembled in the box, just a case of adding a few bits once the back plate is in place. There is a guide for holes and distance on the box so all you need is to drill the holes. Long wall plugs and sturdy long screws provided, depth of hols is about 5cm. Once the holes are done, assembly is easy. The highest line will be around 30cm above the top holes. As I understand, the fixture holes are the same as older versions of the Wallfix.
Use:
It’s easy to open and close and relises on levers – no great strength is required. It feels odd the first time to pull it out, as you’d think you need to pull downwards, but you actually pull outwards from the wall until you hear a little click. It also pushes back in very easily: when you want it to, can’t see it collapsing with a wash load on it! The handle requires little grip, though you could easily tie something to it if required. The whole this can easily be placed lower unlike traditional rotary lines. This is very user friendly for anyone with a disability, such as those who use a wheelchair or experiences problems with dexterity, movement, strength or grip. The material cover has 2 poppers to keep in in place, this could be a little fiddly as the poppers are quite close to the wall once installed: I believe there is a hard casing which may be easier to open and close, though for additional cost. If it’s about the asthetic, I think the bag cover looks just fine. Either way, it will keep your line clean and dry and will last longer. The washing line looks sturdy and strong. Each washing line is individually fixed: if one did snap, it would not effect the others like a traditional line. I’m unsure if Brabantia do replacement line, but normal washing line tied off at each end once threaded would work just as well.
Efectiveness:
It dries laundry! It doesn’t rotate like a rotary line does in the wind. I guess this would decrease the drying time a fraction if it did. It easily fits 2 wash loads (I have an 8kg washer) with it’s 24cm washing lines. 20kg is described as the limit. Washing would blow against the wall it is fixed to, so I’d advise that’s a clean ish surface.
Quality:
The whole thing is strudy and feels trustworthy – it’s not going to snap. The box, fixtures… everything about it is premium quality. I love that it can be folded away and forgotton about. I have read older version of this were flimsy and buckled: I am confident this one is not bending or going anywhere.
Overall:
Innovative and useful product… saves damaging floors with various holes – I can confidently say I’ve never managed to get a traditional rotary line vertical and sturdy in my life! Would very much suit smaller outside spaces: patios, balcony, courtyards, shared areas. Or even indoors, in a utility room or garage. I could also imagine it (with different bold fixings) easily attaching to a mobile home, caravan or camper van. That said, larger homes and famililies will also find it meets their needs. With the increasing cost of energy as well as the environmental impact of most electrical drying options, outdoor drying is by far my preferred option, as well as tradition and freshness. Bonus: I have a tree planted for me! I can now dry clothes easily and effectively without compromising space / asthetic or comfort.
In short… Excellent product, 10/10!!
I love the way it is so easy & quick to put away & also enclosed in a nice box & out of the way , my only con is that I can’t get so much on there but I do appreciate that it can’t go any bigger , therefore I have to do smaller loads over more days
Easy to put up and install , nice cut out on the box for the drill holes .
You pay for quality and you get it !
Looks so neat when folded away extremely well engineered product 5 stars
Given the huge price tag I was really not sure that this was going to be value for money. However its a great product. The additional stainless steel cover is really excellent so glad I went for this option also. Highly recommended
As a partially disabled elderly person, the ease of use was paramount and this fitted the bill.
Sturdy and folds away to utilise outdoor space. Amazing piece of kit!
I love this! It was a little pricey but I think worth it as it’s so sturdy, lots of drying room. I have a 9kg load washing machine and it fits the full load o
This was easy to install with the right drill although instructions didn’t really say how the metal cover clips on so that was a bit of a guess. Didn’t take long though.
I can fold and unfold one handed although when clicking it in place I do it by the bar not the handle.
Ultimately it’s looks tidy when not in use. It’s protected and will get plenty of use once the weather improves again. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend for those who have limited room and want a tidy optio
Bought in July 2011. Easy to put up, very sturdy and shows no signs of falling apart. Plenty of room for our families washing. Would definitely buy again. A quality product.
This is the best washing line I have had it is so compact when stored and so big when in use it holds so much laundry, highly recommend i
A brilliant, compact and elegant solution if you have an appropriate wall space. I would strongly recommend having the brushed metal doors to hide the washing line.
Fairly easy to put up – for various reasons I’ve now done 4 -and the available washing line is almost the same size as a free-standing one. And when you are done, you can fold it away and with the metal doors the whole thing is neatly out of sight. I recommend highly.
We should have went for a bigger one, but great product, espically if space is tight, easy enough to built and folds nice and neat.
Very good item but you can only get a medium wash load on i
Easy to fold for small spaces very sturdy very posh also it comes with a cover very strong for the winter weather. I would recommend this brabantia wallfix washing line to friends and family it’s a bit pricey but worth every penny.
Thank you Amazo
It’s easy to fit to wall. Compact and folds away neatly. Ideal for small space or like me if you don’t want rotary line on the garden. Can get a decent amount of washing on it.
I checked before I bought, because this is NOT cheap but I can see now it’s money well spent. Very intelligent way to mount on the wall, you could probably do this on your own. It’s very sturdy and really is a one handed operation to open or close. The nylon cover completely covers it, so I can’t see why you would choose the cased option that is twice the price.
I read a few reports that this item wasn’t very sturdy. I think you’d have to be very rough with it to break it. Had it over a year now and it’s easy to open and close. Saves having a line cluttering up the garden – folds away in seconds. Good capacity too.
Folds up and takes up little or no space. Wouldn’t do a big family but you already know that.
Looks well made and stylish – if a clothes drier can be stylish.
Easy to install and use. I have installed down the side of my driveway so the washing is not in the back garden, folds away easy and out of the way. It’s sturdy and I love i
Absolutely delighted with this product, is ideal for additional washing. I don’t use for large items like bed sheets but suitable for everything else. It is very discreet when folded flat to the wall.
I like everything about this washing line. It’s beautifully made and of excellent quality. It folds away discretely and the cover is again high quality. I am delighted with this product having had many Hills Rotary Lines.
Highly recommended
This is my 2nd brabantia folding drier as left first one when moved house. I am older person with a disability and I can open and close with ease. Also stuck with Brabantia as manufacturer very pleased
Love this line, fantastic for small drying area or even on the back of the house if you don’t want a straight line in the garden. Extremely good sturdy piece of equipment I would expect from Brabantia. Expensive, but I suppose you get what you pay for. I have bought cheaper items on other things in the past and always wish I’d paid a little bit more and got the quality.
We are very pleased with our purchase so far. Very easy to set up and attach to outside wall. Perfect for small to medium sized washing loads.
One issue that may occur is that opening and folding might loosen the attachment to the wall.
Did not buy for a small space. Old washing line went cross the garden and spoilt the view. Also when washing out you had to go through it to go up the garden. Only place we could hv the line. With the wall fix, it’s in a sunnier spot and holds the same amount of washing as the two lines did . The major benefit is you can put it away after use. Very pleased with purchase.
Bought this for an elderly relative as pulling out the retractable washing line was becoming difficult for herit’s superbly made and very well designed but it is quite hard to fold back in it needs quite a lift to unclick from its locked position could do with something to to give an extra bit of leverage for our senior citizens.so would throughly recommend for the fit and able but the elderly may find it a challenge.
I had concerns reading other reviews before purchasing but I really needed a wall mounted clothes dryer for a small space used it about 7 times no problems so far..it can take a good load of clothes and towels which is perfect for two adults. Bedding and sheets must be folded but is doable on the outside lines.
Saw this in a neighbours garden and came straight home and ordered one. It was the answer to all our problems. Had our garden landscaped, our very small garden, and didn’t want the washing line on either my circle of artificial grass or on the new patio. It holds far more than you think and then tucks away without any effort. This is the best thing i’ve bought in a very long time.
It was my second washing line in 2 months the first one was a cheap aluminium washing line
This one is brilliant.came with good fixings,easy to fold up .wish I saw this 1st .who ever buys won’t be disappointed
Easy to install. Love this line – great to have a washing line that folds and looks discreet when not in use. Great quality – well worth investing in the brand. A little difficult to put down the first time – I had to look at previous feedback for tips but once you get the knack its easy. Really happy with this purchase.
Sturdy. Looked at lots of options – some 1/2 the price – bit didn’t like the look pressed aluminum struts – too weak and some of the reviews showed this. This one does the business.
This took about 15 minutes to fix to the wall and set it up. It is so easy to pull out and fasten back up after use. It’s a great piece of kit that is fabulous for small spaces.
Excellent, had one before, however the stainless steel cover is a bit flimsy and l could have got it cheaper if l had the one with just a cover to go over it, like my old one.
The price tag might appear a little intimidating at first – surely it is possible to find one that’s cheaper that’s as good?
Perhaps it is, but I am glad we went with the Brabantia. This is an excellent, solidly constructed, easy to use clothes line. Washing can be heavy with water when put out and wind can pull at it on the line – the last thing you want is a line that doesn’t fill you with confidence.
It folds up small and sits neatly on an outside wall. When fully extended it still doesn’t take up a huge amount of space but manages a lot of potential drying space.
Impressed and I would recommend.
Quite difficult to fit because Screws were too short and wrong mm so it would be hard to put washers on. When the folding doors went on one kept jumping out and had to be adjusted.
Other than that a good product and good that it folds away so no unsightly line showing.
Absolutely brilliant tucks away nicely. Good for small garden not intrusive. Helpful template provided to assist installation.
So easy to use, great capacity, hold more than a full washing machine load and stores away neatly. Wall fixings are excellent and the boss loves it!
Brilliantly simple bit of kit. I think it took me 10 minutes to install, from opening the box to looking at the unit installed.
Operates smoothly and comes with a handy tool to tighten up the bolts supplied.
I had never seen a washing line like this. I previously has a free standing round one but this is brilliant drilled into wall and folds away into its own space saver unit brillia
Very impressed. Smart looking in my tiny garden, and folds away in its bag nicely.
I love this product. Even on showery days with a wall fix under the car port I get jeans shirts and all sorts dry without making my house damp. Drying the most environmentally sensible way and being under the carport coping with Manchester’s less than dry weather. Buy one. It will change your life and improve your home and health.
I am so happy with this. Very easy to install and it is really sturdy. Fits a large washing load. Easy to pull-up and down. Love that it doesn’t take up space when folded back.
Love this. We recently had our garden remodeled with a new lawn and patio and didn’t want to stick a washing line on either! This folds away so easily and we opted for the sturdy closed casing to go with it which looks smart. We have two very young children so always have a lot of washing to do and this holds a good amount of clothes too!
Very good neat clean looks great and folds away. Just right for our small garden and gets the washing dry without problem.
Only snag is the price is high enough to frighten people into buying something less good.
I am so happy that I purchased this. It’s sturdy and looks great. Excellent quality and if you want to save space this is perfect. This purchase has been such a success, that three of my neighbours have also bought one after seeing mine.
“You get what you pay for” expensive, but worth it!
I was initially tempted by the cheaper makes of this type of washing line but after reading reviews, payed the premium for this brand. I am glad I did. The product is very sturdy and comes with a 5 year warranty. I also payed the additional cost for the optional wall mounted storage box so overall, a significant investment to dry laundry outside. But I think this will last a good few years. It is relatively easy to operate once you get the hang of it and folds back tidily into place on the wall. Installation was OK, but took two of us. Would recommend paying the extra especially if you plan on leaving this outside all year. Overall, a good buy.
Actually the item is perfect for us . We’ve attached it to wall outside our back door . It has replaced the rotary dryer which was such an eyesore in the middle of the garden. It works for us because there is just two of us . It certainly would be no good for families with a reasonable amount of washing. I’ve given a low score for sturdiness as the metal cover is as thin as thin . It arrived quite dented and we asked for a price reduction which was given . Annoyingly when you open up the metal cover one of the doors falls off at the top . It’s easy so far to put back on but had we realised before we screwed it on wall we would have sent it back . However! I’m still pleased we bought it !
A little stiff to fold at the moment hence 4 stars. I managed to fix it myself with a little help as it is quite heavy also had to keep checking utube video as directions not great. All in all though very pleased with produc
So far so good. Two person job to install as it’s a bit of a fiddle to get the washers in the right place. Once installed, it is really easy to use, extremely light, one handed operation (even with an injured arm at the moment). I am short so it’s great that you can decide how high to install it to suit your own purposes. My only complaint is that you pay a lot for the box but it’s extremely flimsy and doesn’t actually open and close smoothly – the one side always shuts unevenly and I have to fiddle with it to get the bottom to come around to the closed position. It’s a bit annoying but overall I still think it’s a good piece of kit, as long as you treat it with care
A good product but very light so I would not put heavy items on this. Instructions not clear as mostly pictures so took longer to erect than expected.
So easy to use and yes it does unfold using only one hand. Takes a good load of washing too. I bought the metal cover and this has proven to be a good buy as it’s sturdy and looks good when everything is folded away.
This is a replacement – like for like and so I hope will be as good as the last one. Easy enough to install, with an extra pair of hands. Received very quickly from supplier and despite packaging (a lot of sellotape), inside the box was fine and the item was in good condition (new).
Love love love it! I shouldn’t be this happy about a clothes line but sadly I am . Placed mine on a wall, can’t say much about attaching it as someone else did it for me. You can open and close it effortlessly with 2 fingers. The fabric cover seems very robust and fastens with press studs so pretty sure it stay attached. Just so neat. I nearly paid double and went for the one with the silver case…. whether the extra money is worth it is an individual choice. The silver case does look very convenient though. Not hung any washing on it yet, still waiting for the warmer weather but looks like it will hold a decent amount of washing. Had brabanti products before and always been sturdy and lasted well. But it.
This washing line is great because it can be folded away but is also big enough when open to cater for a family of five, including three small children. The enclosure provides good protection from the elements. There are safety ties included in the enclosure to keep it neat and tidy when stored away.
It was easy to fix onto an outside wall too. Very pleased.
It looks good on the wall, seems sturdy and well made. Reasonably easy to put up, just follow the instructions.
Holds a decent amount of washing. Happy with product and would recommend.
The package came all ripped with bits of cardboard hanging off every-where, was in two minds whether to accept the package or not, but the courier informed me all the parts were there, so I checked the package contenta and they were all there how I do not know……worst package I have ever received from Amazon, after saying that it was simple to erect, the template is on the box, just cut it out. Drill the 4 holes 8mmdrill required, put the 4 wall plugs in and the 2 bottom bolts, pick the washing line up and hook onto the bottom bolts,then put the top bolts in and tighten the bottomones first, making sure you put the top bolts in before you completely tighten the bottom bolts, very pleased with this product…….would recommend!
So, who want’s to look at a clothes drier everytime they look out of the window. Also rotary driers take up a fair bit of space. Not this. Fixes to the wall, nice and easy and is very robust. Best of all, when it’s not in use just fold it out of the way. Sorted.
Just set this up 2 days ago. We have a small garden / courtyard so nowhere fir a normal clothes line. This went up on the wall of our house in 20 minutes and we’ve been using it constantly since. Works well gor everything except large duvet covers but that’s to be expected. Feels super sturdy and a quality product.
Really happy with this product. So much so that I ordered a second one! I recently moved to a new house with a small garden. I didn’t want a full size dryer in the middle of what little space I have, and this wall mounted option is perfect. I was worried it wouldn’t take a full load of washing, but it does. With some thinking, I can also hang up my super kingsize (6ft) bed linen. It is easy to fold away after use and sits neatly in its own cover. It looks nice too. I would recommend this product.
This is a great dryer, more than enough space for an average family, and great when space in the garden is restricted.
Extremely easy to put up and close down. I would recommend it.
Quality compact item. It measures 180cms across the 2 side arms, 183cms from the wall to the front arm and I set mine at 185cms from the floor to the top of the fixing bracket using the supplied hole fixing template on the inside of the box.
Easily fits 2 loads of washing. As with other reviews I also struggled to close it at first (thinking I’m going to pull it of the wall at this rate) but found if you put one hand under the bottom of the frame and lift slightly it easily pops out where it locates into the wall bracket then just use your other hand to close as normal with the handle.
Had no problems since so highly recommend.
We went for this even though it was much more expensive than some alternatives. Glad we did as it is far stronger and better made than cheaper versions. Folds away neatly against the wall with include cover. Very easy to install. Great product.
We bought this as we did a garden redesign and didn’t want a rotary line in the middle of the lawn. When we purchased it, it was 79.99 – I wouldn’t pay any more for it.
I can put 4 loads of washing on the line – although bedding can be an issue as the longest area is too small to comfortably fit another bigger than a double.
Easy to fit, easy to fold away, looks neat and tidy
