Vileda Cordomatic 15 Metre Automatic Retractable Clothes Line - Retractable washing line Indoor washing line outdoor washing line

Bestelling was snel bezorgd.Na het uitpakken bleek dat ze me de goedkopere versie hadden gegeven.

Ottimo prodotto per chi, come me, non ha la possibilità di usare il buon vecchio filo di metallo zincato (indistruttibile e sempre la migliore soluzione). Purtroppo il filo interno non è sostituibile e quindi al primo danneggiamento si è costretti a sostituire l'intero prodotto. Il filo è in materiale plastico con un anima in fibra, decisamente resistente alla trazione ma un po meno all'usura per sfregamento, è opportuno tenerne conto quando si vuole far passare il filo da più posti per sfruttarlo nell'intera lunghezza, questo perchè oltre i 5 mt tende a cedere molto soprattutto sotto il sole estivo.

Very easy to install we used different screws than provided so that we could just drill directly into the wood. I recommend double looping the line at the bottom in order to avoid it drooping down while hanging washing. Our be all apartment now has space to hang washing outside to cut the heavy electrical bill. I can easily put away when finished so we can use our small patio area. If the area you’re using it in is small like ours (6.5 m) you can buy a second hook and redirect the washing line so you have two lines for more washing.

A replacement for an earlier version of the same product that expired after about ten years of regular use - the retracting mechanism made a loud 'twang' and retracted no more!This model which unfortunately doesn't have the same fixing hole pattern was relatively simple to attach to the house wall in my back garden and the line is easily long enough to reach the other end about 25 feet away (that'd be about 8 metres in new money). I considered the provided screws to be fit for purpose so unlike others I've used them and it all looks and feels properly secure. I also like the way the housing (for the rather natty red washing line) folds back to lie neatly against the wall.All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it without hesitation; it's a well known brand and whilst a little more expensive than other makes of unknown manufacture, I'm confident that I won't find my shirts lying in the mud the next time I put out a wash on a windy day!UPDATE 01/24 - getting on for five years down the line (geddit!) I'm happy to report that all is still well with the washing line. The only very minor issue is that that when not in use, a small length of the line is exposed (as I keep a few pegs clipped on for instant use) - this has faded from a rather attractive red to a less interesting white; the rest of the line is unchanged.Still very pleased with my purchase, money well spent.
