Minky VT20500103 Retractable Reel Washing Line with 15 m of Drying Space, Grey

Product Information

The backing plate, which is made from steel and has two pre-drilled holes, feels really strong, and I don’t believe this would ever break. There are plenty of retractable washing lines out there and but Vileda and Minky are the most popular brands. 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.

Although I had used them occasionally before lockdown, they came into their own during and after it.

One of the great things about nice weather is being able to hang your clothes outside to dry so they smell clean and fresh without taking up space indoors. The two products were compared side-by-side and then tested over 3 days in July 2022 with several loads of wet clothes and other weights. Large, heavy items are sometimes delivered on a pallet so you will need to ensure you have assistance with carrying the product.

The online reviews were similar to that of Vileda’s product, but slightly fewer consumers rated it 4 or 5 stars out of 5. The product features an easy to use retractable outdoor washing line and it stows neatly away when not in use. It was delivered to my back door within two hours, due to the pandemic restriction Wades were unable to enter the house therefore my husband fitted the machine.

I drilled directly into the brick face as that’s the toughest part of the wall and I wound the hook into a nearby tree trunk.

For homes without the space for a conventional rotary the Minky Double Retractable 30m Clothes Line is ideal for small gardens patios and balconies and gives a whopping 30m of drying space. While the testing period was only 3 days, the Best Pick product (Vileda) has been used many times since then and as of August 23rd 2022, there are no issues to report. Based on my experience; if you extend the washing line up to 10 metres, you won’t need a pole to prop it up.
