I’ve had this for over 4 years and it’s still working well. It’s very sturdy and well made.
The only issue I’ve had is that I managed to break the handle that winds it up and down. To be honest this was probably my fault, it was raining and I was trying to wind it down as quickly as possible so was being pretty rough with it!
Fantastic customer service, they sent me out a replacement handle free of charge.
I’d definitely buy this product again, my mum also has one – hers is older than mine and is equally in great condition.
I’d recommend buying a cover to go over the top to keep it in great condition when it’s not in use.
I wanted a washing line raised and lowered by turning the handle. This does it to a certain extent but there is still a button to push to lower the line. Which depending on the state of strength in my thumb I can operate or no
It’s sturdy and easy to put together.
I’ve had loads of rotary liners but this is the best one I’ve ever brought. Yes it’s expensive but I’m hoping it’s the last one I ever have to buy
I’ve had the same item around 10 years ago. Hence buying it again.
However, mixed feelings, the fold rails are good and the line quality has improved.
But you want to fold it together the plastic 4 position moulded clips are poor they don’t how the bars the fall out again???
There is also no weather cover?
100 and they have to buy a cover poor.
I bought this line because it said you could lower the lines with a handle, load the washing and then wind it up high to catch the breeze. This is not so. The winder only winds to put the line in a cover. It is also very high I’m 5′ 2″. I have to stand on a step to load my washing. The sleeve was concreted in but unfortunately when the line went in it is wonky. But then who wants a straight, upright expensive rotary line. You can buy a new sleeve. Something for the future maybe. Blisters and all. Very sturdy though. Best rotary line I’ve bought. So far, it dries beautifully and the washing does not tangle up. A problem I’ve always had in the past. Sorry if it’s confusing, I just wanted to be honest.
This unit comes with everything except cement and a spade to ensure simple robust installation. I suggest digging a hole and cementing the base in as it is a big dryer that needs good support. This dryer is tall so take note of the measurements as A shorter person might need to stand on something to reach the cords etc.
Lifting the arms and cords to start is simple and fairly easy – read the instructions and practice. The handle doesn’t lift the arms! The handle winds the whole unit up into the air about 300mm once you have manually put the arms out – this disappointed my wife but the advert did say that’s how it works. The base has a useful cap that stops dirt going down into the base when the unit is removed but it is quite big so we haven’t removed it yet except for mowing the lawn. Overall I like it and that it will give years go great service.
I bought this four arm 60m Vileda rotary to replace one that has given good service for over ten years and was still functioning, but I had concerns that I was tempting fate to continue it’s use as the plastic covering over the lines was fracturing in numerous places (didn’t want to find one day that the clean washing was all over the damp lawn !). Yes, this is an expensive product, but I was happy in my mind to replace like with like. I’m a firm believer that paying for the right tool for a job is a good investment in the long term. I was even able to use the original ground socket to ‘plant’ the new line in (so now I have a spare should I want to relocate it). Because of my experience with the pensioned off Vileda rotary, I have been happy to provide ratings as if I had my new one in service for quite a while.
I only got around to having the ground socket cemented in last week. Therefore I was really looking forward to using the airer this weekend. Where the pole fits into the ground socket, there is a plate attached to the pole that should lock into position in the ground socket to keep it in place. Unfortunately it is plastic and it looks like the sections at the bottom of the plate that should lock into the socket have snapped off. Bit wary of this.
On the plus side it whizzes round on the slightest breeze in all directions with four wash loads on board, so the washing dries very quickly. I washed everything including bed covers and bedspreads, which had to be put up double as they were too long before hoisting into the air. Very sturdy, with tight lines. The hoist works well. Much more robust than my old line on which I could only get one wash load at a time. On the negative side, because I am only 5′ 4″ tall, I can only just reach the lines without going on tip toe, and that’s before I wind it up, and there is no way I can put a cover on it without standing on a step ladder. It is really heavy and tall, so I cannot remove it to store it as it is much too heavy for me to get out, therefore I have to leave it in place with a cover on. It wouldn’t fit in the hole that the old one was in as it has a much bigger post. But despite everything I love it as I can get all my washing done on the same day as it takes so much at one time and dries so quickly.
This is a very good quality clothes airer/dryer. The holder is plastic, so must be concreted into the ground. (It comes with a plastic bag to put the ground holder in, so it doesn’t fill with the concrete.) The dryer is quite heavy, so don’t skimp on the concrete. I followed the simple instructions inside the cardboard package – make sure the pole is vertical, let the concrete set fully, insert the pole, then slide the top part (with the cords) into the pole (after which it will not come out again). The winding has an odd feel to it – 30 turns to raise, but it has worked well for a week now – and I expect it to be reliable. To start with the cords were tight, making it difficult to open the ‘arms’ and clip it into place, but no doubt the will stretch a little.
This is my second airer as we just had a artificial lawn laid and as the old one had already been moved before and was well over 7 years old we decided to replace it. It’s just fantastic, with a family (of 4) everyone should have one, the four sides spread the clothes out to dry quicker and being only 5ft tall you just wind it right down to lock so it doesn’t spin round while trying to hang the washing out. Then wind up as far as it will go and it really catches the wind. It lifts out (locks into place) really easy although quite heavy, but I can do it then we can put the badminton net up! We do store this in the garage over the winter even though I have a cover for it. A few friends have bought these after seeing mine
I think it looks very smart and appears much sturdier than previous ones that we have had, centre post is nearly 3 inches in diameter. If you wind the handle up the inner post goes up and will lift the top a good foot at least higher and gets the clothes out of the reach of our naughty dog. Comes with a well made ground socket that you pop it in then twist a collar in to lock it in place. Would suggest you dig a straight sided, hole 10-12 inches square and 18 inches deep and cement in in with a full bag of postcrete fencing post mix. Press the red button on the top collar and it slides down the centre shaft which folds the arms in out of the way and they clip in to the top collar. Undo the bottom collar ( 1/4 turn ) and lift the whole thing out for storage then pop the nice red bung in the hole to seal the ground socket and leave it looking smart. This sounds simple but previous ones have had a steel spike in the ground and after lifting the airer out of it to cut the lawn I could never find the bloody hole again.
Tip: When first assembled I couldn’t get the inner post to wind up and down reliably and a quickly answered email to Vileda suggested the inner post hadn’t fully located in the handle mechanism and they were spot on, gave the top a good shove downwards and sure enough it clicked in and now works perfectly.
This is an excellent rotary Airer. It has plenty of room to hang up multiple wash loads. The handle turns and the washing goes up very high and the slightest of wind and it spins around making the clothes dry even quicker.
I followed the instructions to posts create the anchor tube into the ground making sure it was level with the lawn. This way I can cut the lawn by just rolling over the anchor tube.
If you hang the washing up with it in its lowest point the wind does not spin the clothes as it’s slots into grooves and when you lift it up it starts to spin around.
When not in use it’s just a half twist and pull it out the anchor point and store in garage, then put the plastic cap over the anchor point hole.
