Leifheit 83040 Rollfix Mounted Retractable Clothes Dryer Review

I bought this to supplement my wooden clothes drying rack.I hang dry almost all of my clothes and needed more hanging room.

When installing this you have to make sure that both ends of it are SECURED to the wall.If either is not secured, the clothes will weigh it down and tear it from the wall.I was installing in a basement laundry room with drywall and studs on one side and poured cement on the other.I was able to screw into the studs on the drywall side, but on the cement side I used concrete anchors and construction adhesive (that's some strong stuff!) to mount a wood board to which I screwed the included hooks into.It all took about 20 minutes - not including the set time for the adhesive.

The unit is retractable which is good.There are 5 lines attached to the bar, you pull the bar out and attach it to the hooks mounted on the opposite wall.Then there is a knob that you turn to lock the line taught.Overall, this unit is ok.I do not hang wet jean or heavy pants or sweaters on it because it just doesn't seem strong enough to me.I do use it for underclothes, socks, tee shirts, tank tops and such and it works great.Sheets would probably work fine too.

Note that I only have mine stretching a distance of about 4 feet, but there is more line than that.So I don't know how clothes would hang if you have it pulled out the maximum distance.

I would buy again if I needed more space to hang light clothes.
