Brabantia WallFix Retractable Washing Line with Protective Metal Case Box Cover (24m) Wall-Mounted Foldaway Clothes Air Drye

Really well designed and made. Extends out quite far and then folds up really discreetly to the wall. The cover is well made too and seems to protect everything. I like how there are poppers to secure the cover down when not in use. The dearest washing gadget I have ever purchased except the actual washing machine, however was well worth saving for.

Easy to assemble and get up on the wall. Really nice item that is very easy to use. Came with cloth cover which was really nice, sturdy quality. Line is easy to put up and down and can take a large wash load plus extras. Despite being really sturdy the line does wobble a bit when putting up and down.

Perfect solution for small spaces. This is my second unit, the first did eventually break after 5 or 6 years of use, the plastic join of one of the arms in the centre broke.

I tried a cheap rip off purchased from Amazon, but it was so so poorly made even dangerous with sharp metal edges, the lines would tangle all the time. So I do appreciate the quality and build and design of the Brabantia.

Whilst there are concerns the same failure will happen again, the units are solid.
Our washing machine has a 9kg capacity, which I can hang out on the line no problem.

The closing mechanism once you have the hang of it makes it very easy to close. If you have to even use the slightest force to close it too are almost certainly doing it wrong, it’s more of a push up the a push towards the wall. I mention this as I read another reviewer who had problems similar to when my wife first used it, if it feels like your having an arm wrestle with your washing line stop, you will break it, read the instructions and and it should close with little effort.

Bought for a patio area and it fits brilliantly, it’s ideal if like us you don’t have anywhere to fix a traditional line. However bear in mind that although this folds away neatly it does require quite a bit of room when it is extended and in use. Assembly was fairly easy and the opeoand closing of it once up is very smooth

What a buy! I am so happy with this washing hanger that I cannot express it. It looks amazing, folds easily (pls make sure you do read the instructions as you do need to push it back to close it rather than towards the wall!), unfolds even easier and you don’t have the permanently standing stick in the garden as once it’s folder it is completely out of the way!
It is an amazing thing to have in any household. I have bought it together with the peg holder that is very good too. Highly recommended.

I’ve had this washing line for ten years and it is still perfect. It is very easy to put up and equally easy to fold away. I’ve never had a problem with it at all. Now after ten years the fabric cover is in need of replacing, which is why I was looking on this site, hoping to be able to buy one, but they don’t seem to be available separately. That would be my only slightly negative comment.

When I bought my house in 2010 one of these lines was installed by the previous owners. It has given me excellent service and works as well today as it did nine years ago. The product I bought was a used one. It came complete withe everything needed including a box spanner. The template for the hole spacing is on the box. The only thing you need is a 8mm masonry drill. I can now discard my rotary line. The quality of the used product was like new only the box untidy. I will certainly purchase a used item again. Geoff

We wanted to make more of our small lawn and were fed
up of the rotary line obscuring a great view of open countryside. The wall mounted line is a great answer. It was really easy to put on the wall as it came with a template. Now its out of sight and does the job really well. Really impressed with the sturdy construction and easy operation. A We also got the metal cover which looks great and keeps it hidden, dry and protected from the elements. Top stuff!

A little tricky to fold out and click into position. But worth the investment.

I have limited space in my garden, so this was exactly what I wanted. I was little worried it may not work, but surprised by how sturdy it was, how easy it was to put away and most importantly, it can take a lot of clothes.

We didn’t want our small-ish garden to be dominated by an 80s style rotary dryer so plumped for this which we’ve fixed to the back wall of the house. A great invention! You barely notice in when it’s folded down with the cover on. Easy to fit, did it in 30 minutes with the fixings provided.

It’s not perfect. There aren’t enough pegs supplied with it and half the ones we did get were broken. Plus it doesn’t quite lock/unlock as easily as I’d like. It takes a bit of fiddling to do it properly.

Even so, I’d very much recommend it. You get a lot of washing on it and it’s extremely sturdy and well made.

Brabantia is an Italian make – and it is ‘fantastico’, With the emphasis on the ‘a’ – having lived in Italy for 22 years! One pronounces it fantAStico. It certainly is. Of course NOT if one has a large family. Go for the larger Brabantia’s. Don’t skimp on price. Go for a name that counts.
This is attached to the corner of my garden room, outside, where it receives breeze from all round. I just love it.

Wow! Whilst this isn’t a cheap purchase, it was worth every penny. We didn’t want to put a rotary line in the middle of our lawn and we are short of space to run a washing line across our fence so this was a must have.
It fits so neatly in the box and so far has been spider free!!
I have 3 children and this can easily fit 2 big loads of washing on it.
Honestly it’s great!

This is a great solution if you don’t want those dryers that stick into the lawn and end up leaning over and eventually driving you potty.
The opening and closing is pretty easy and it looks neat in the stainless steel box, which is a bit thin and flimsy but is acceptable.
The wires are a bit loose on mine, I’ll look at tightening them somehow so they don’t droop when loaded with clothing.
Mount this on a sunny wall and clothes will dry quickly.
It stays as extended, does not rotate if you are wondering.

I don’t normally leave reviews but this retractable line is outstanding. It was easy to fix to the wall using the template provided. I’ve seen some other reviews about difficulty putting it up and putting it down – no such problems here. The line is strong and sturdy and as our garden is a bit of a wind tunnel this is reassuring. Takes loads of washing including bedding and large towels. Really pleased with this, makes putting out washing a much easier task than our previous solutions. When folded away it’s not at all obvious. Great value for money.

We bought this washing line as we didn’t want to have a ground spike installed in our new patio. This was recommended by our friends who had bought this washing line and we were so impressed, we went ahead and bought it as well. Its very stylish and looks very neat and tidy when its installed. The installation is a bit fiddly and the instructions weren’t the best which was disappointing so took about an hour in total (with coffee breaks) to get unpacked, laid out, holes drilled and fitted. I will say though that its worth it as we are very pleased with the finished result. It almost blends in and we don’t notice it now. Opening the protective cover (which is extra) is very easy (push a single button) and extending and retracting couldn’t be easier. Would definitely recommend however be aware that it isn’t as big as a typical clothes line. Its fine for just myself and my wife but if you have a large family, you may struggle with the size of it.

Having recently moved and only having a small garden I wanted a compact washing line, which still did the job, was compact and looked good.
This ticked all the boxes and boy, am I pleased with it!
It is one of the best buys I have made.
Excellent quality, easy to erect and put away, does the job and holds a full line of washing. Seems very well made too.
Fabulous design – great asset for my small garden and me!!

This is amazing. We have recently had the garden landscaped and dident want a airer bedon the lawn. A line was not practical so we tried this as a solution. It’s really neat and easy to use but you need to be careful as it is quite fragile to pull out and put back in. It’s smaller than our previous airer which was a concern when we ordered it but it works well for my family of 4. Highly recommended.

Excellent piece of kit! Very easy to use, and plenty of room for the washing of a family of two adults and two teenage boys. It pulls out of the wall with ease, and is very sturdy. It only loses a star because it says it comes with a template to mount it on the wall, which I took to mean something to put on the wall so that you can mark the drill holes. Not so – the ‘template’ is just a diagram, and required much measuring, checking and rechecking of measurements, and the instructions were not totally clear.

I would have loved to give this a 5 star but one of the coat hanger ends was broken on arrival.
I have to be fair and say that I am sure that this would be sorted if I requested a replacement but I am going to keep it as this doesn’t bother me too much and I suspect it was broken in transit.
I have wanted one of these for so long and got it at a great price. I finally can dry my clothes without the whole street seeing my laundry 🙂

All the quality you would expect from Brabantia. I have one of these without the retractable cover but am leaving it at the house I am about to move from. I would never replace it with anything other than another Brabantia, I have been so pleased with the old one. Is the retractable cover worth the extra money? Time will tell but the removable cover on the cheaper model, although still usable ripped quite quickly.

Brabantia is the name associated with quality , If they intend trying to retain the market then I advise they start using quality materials . great concept very expensive product for such poor quality parts plastic fittings poor and the alignment stainless steel cabinet is so thin it barely holds its own shape so much so that closing the lock is a feat , keeping it closed in lightest of winds is impossible. I have rated it 4* for line only cabinet is really not worth the price it needs a longer backing plate to retain the cabinet firmly to the wall in order to support the poor quality stainless steel but hay ho I’m only a woman .As for the washing line very easy to attach to the wall template is part of cardboard box it is sent in you cut it out hold in place against wall at height comfortable for you mark the 4 holes through cardboard template drill holes and screw to wall done , pull handle to slide out line to hang washing , To close lift and push to release , word of warning don’t just push back without liftup as it will break ,mechanism is very easy release coming from a lady who has mobility problems . Overall I personally love it space saving just make sure you have enough room each side for when line is opened up umbrella effect , Price is it worth it ? No Cost of Cabinet vs Quality Poor my brabantia bread bin has thicker steel guess its a sign of times

I love this washing line so much that I actually have two in my back garden. Very easy to open and close and folds away very discreetly. A brilliant product!

This is my second Brabantia WallFix retractable Washing Line. I bought my first one nearly 10 years ago and used it day in, day out from early spring until October every year. The concept is simple but fantastic. The mechanism can be pulled out single handed and only takes 10 seconds to fold back when finished.
I have my washing line wall mounted on the side of the house and when not in use it is folded back and covered with a well fitting hood (staying in place with press buttons). Not only is this the only wall mounted washing line I’ve come across, the quality and concept are (as always with Brabantia) outstanding. Well made and very sturdy and even comes with a 5 year warranty.

I didn’t hesitate to replace my old Brabantia after all this time, I got so much use out of it that it was and is money well spend.

I still can’t believe how quickly the product was delivered, I ordered one evening and the parcel arrived the next day. Thank you Amazon!

No more chasing the hole in the lawn after the grass has been cut, not in the way whe

I wasn’t sure about this before I fitted it. It’s quite a lot of money and not very big )in terms of area to hang washing). In the end it is fabulous. We have it mounted on a very narrow strip of wall next to a gutter downpipe. It fits away really snugly, has it’s own elasticated bag and is easy to use. It wasn;t so easy to mount, mainly because there was no real template for drilling and my motar was alway sin the wrong place! Once it was fitted it was fine and cant take a whole load at once. Brillint, if space is tight and high enough away from kids playing underneath.

My son mentioned this type of rotary styled line so after some further research I purchased the Brabantia WallFix Wall Mounted Retractable Washing Line with Fabric Cover which came complete with fittings and am SO pleased with it! The unit came promptly and looks really neat on the wall in my garden. The fabric cover looks well made and stretches around the closed line with two poppers to secure it so should keep it somewhat protected from the elements! When the cover is removed, it is easy to open the line with one hand although takes a couple of goes to get used to gently pushing up enough for it to lock in and holding firmly when closing so it goes back smoothly. The spring action is quite strong although will probably loosen up a little with use.

Once open, the washing line certainly managed a small load without a hitch. Will see how it gets on with a larger load, but it looks pretty sturdy and capable of holding a large load or two depending on the item weight! It is very easy to use, sits neatly against the wall and saves so much space in the garden when not in use! Very pleased!

If you are limited for space as we are, this is the perfect solution. I was dubious because let’s face it, it is a lot to pay for a washing line and when it arrived I thought the casing seemed a bit lightweight, but it works. The only reason it loses a star is for the catch, which if there is a strong wind that buffets the casing (which we often get as we back on to open countryside) it can come open and if the casing flaps about can be damaged. However, this was quickly remedied with a couple of strips of Velcro, one at the top and one at the bottom; dead easy to pull to open but hold very strong when closed.

After 5 years my other half says it still works perfectly and looks as good as the day it was delivered.

We replaced a normal traditional rotary line with one of these. We fixed it against a garage wall which was fairly quick and easy to do (you need four holes in total), The instructions provide an easy guide as to what height to drill the holes at.

Initially we we concerned about the amount of washing that could be placed onto the line, but we can still fit the same amount we had on the previous traditional rotary line.

The line itself doesn’t rotate, but dries items on it extremely well, we were also concerned that items would brush against the wall, in our case this hasn’t happened.

The line is easy to pull out and fix in it’s drying position, and seems to be very stable, the cover that closes around the line when not in use works well and protects the line from most of the elements.

The line itself also has hanging hooks on the end of the arms to hang the Brabantia peg bag (or another using small clips)

once closed up the line takes up very little space compared to a traditional line.. highly recommended

I badly needed to find a way of hanging my large double sheets without them draping on the ground. I purchased this to fix on a side wall of my garage (indoors – this is Britain after all) It was very easy and quick to fit using the template provided though you will need a drill. The fixed construction opens out in a click-clack movement creating a multi-sided spider web-like washing line which is sturdy and solid. It easily takes two full washing machine loads and is easy to access from all angles if you take care to position it where there is space. As it is completely clear from the ground, I sometimes pull an oil radiator under the washing line to speed up the drying process as I could never get two washloads in the drier.
The best thing is that once the washing has been collected you just push the construction back onto the wall where is sits like a neat vertical arm. It comes with a high quality nylon cover that clips on with giant press studs which tuck in the washing lines and make it look very neat and compact. You could really put this anywhere with a bit of space – conservatory, bathroom… although ideally they are meant, I think, to go on a sunny outside wall. However you choose to use it – brilliant product.

Space saving at its best ,no more untidy lines or props ,top quality alloys used to make it
and no sharp burrs anywhere . Also there is a template provided to drill the 4 bolt holes to
fix it to the wall
When it is fully out and locked in place it feels solid enough to swing on ,when you have
finished using it pull it towards you then let it fold itself away flush to the wall where it
sticks out just around 4 inches then put on the cover and it looks really neat .If possible
fit it to a south facing wall as when the sun is out the washing will be dry before you have
finished your next load , will hold at least 2 full loads . This is the second one purchased
as i have just fitted one for my mother in law .Highly recommended.
