Brabantia WallFix Wall-Mounted Retractable with Storage Case

This product is one of those rare purchases that has improved the quality of workaday life. I enjoy the satisfaction in making a common task easier. This clothesline (I'm waxing about a clothesline?!) works well, it's solidly engineered for the task. It easily deploys and folds away so doesn't clutter the landscape, even a landscape where there's room to stretch. This dryer seems to handle all the laundry I throw at it. I can fit 3 loads, if some of the stuff is on hangers. That includes sheets. I live in a dry climate so I rarely have to leave a lot of wet laundry hanging, it dries so quickly. But I can toss a comforter, small area rug on it, and I've used it as a basket to hold bed pillows that need airing out and some sunshine. It's a terrific item, and paid for itself quickly in reduced machine dryer use. It's very sturdy and good for large households with a lot of laundry. At the same time, totally compact. If I have any criticism, it's that the Cordura cover is not as user-friendly as the dryer is. I like to leave all my clothespins on the dryer, and when folded, the cover doesn't fit as well with all the clothespins, and in any scenario it's difficult to snap on. I'd appreciate an improved cover. There is a metal cover available in the EU, I think. But it would probably not fit over my clothes pins. Nonetheless, when company is coming over, I can cover it well enough. Do yourself a favor and buy it. * Update: Three years later, my husband and I are still delighted with the functionality of this dryer. It is almost always deployed, and is only folded up when company comes over. We have unrelenting UV eleven months of the year or more. This exposure is unmerciful on various plastics, rubbers, fabrics, paints, and hard goods like chairs. But this folding clothesline is a freaking champ. Very hardy in the sun, wind, rain. No parts that rot or rust or mold. I'm very pleased. ** Second update 2021, almost to the day, 7 years after purchase: Something broke. It was the little part that holds the rig snapped open. Brabantia REPLACED THE ENTIRE DRYER, even though we only requested a part. What a wonderful company. They have my full appreciation and loyalty. (I bought their ironing board, which is also super-excellent.) As it happened, the line the clothes hang on was also in need of replacement. I bought some line, but found upon closer inspection that buying the replacement line from Brabantia would have been better, they include the little clips, it's not a simple matter of restringing with any line. Brabantia included the hard protective dryer cover, which is quite handsome, but will indeed not close with my clothespins on the line, so I remove them to properly stow the dryer. But wow, it looks nice, and functions so much better than the soft cover. I wish all the tools I use to complete daily tasks were as satisfying and functional. Kudos to a company that treats customers right--a rare attribute in today's marketplace.

Just what I have been looking for! Easy to install. Big enough for a load of laundry. Now I can hang the wash out without having to step on the grass to hang the clothes up. After they’re dry I can close it up and put it away. I love it! Useful but expensive. Update 2025 this was one of my best purchases! Looks and works great!

Perfect indoor clothesline. We use it in our garage. It holds two medium loads of laundry. It will hold bed linens if you go "around the corner" and use two adjacent sides. Easy to open and close. Be sure it snaps into place with a loud clicking sound when you open it, otherwise it isn't secure and will slide down under the weight of wet laundry. My son suggested this as a way to save energy from daily use of the electric clothes dryer. A nice, fresh way to go green and save money!

We bought it a while ago when it was $50 more, but no regrets. When it is not used and unfolded you hardly notice it. After I take the laundry off I always right away fold it back against the wall and put the cover over it. It looks like new still. It is very sturdy and has lots of line space. We installed it on the corner of the deck where it gets more wind and is out of the way. Just today I thought again how much I appreciate this drying solution and so save on electricity! Love it!

*update - 5 years later it's still going strong. One of the pins has wiggled loose a couple times, but it's not incredibly difficult to get it back in. I use this weekly, year round, in the high dessert. It is exposed to intense sun, high winds, and freezing temps and hardly shows wear. I highly recommend it. I love it. Mine did arrive missing a couple peices. One is the "hood" piece and then also a couple square pieces that are depicted in the "packaging contents" of the instructions, but I don't see where those parts were supposed to go so I am not sure if they were important or not! Installation would have been a lot easier with two people, but I managed to do it on my own. I love that it comes with a cover so it looks nice and tidy when not in use.

Decided to save some money on electricity in the summer and installed this on the side of the house. It folds up nicely so it's out of the way, and installed without a lot of hassle with a hammer drill, masonry bit and the included mounting hardware. You can get a full load of laundry on the line if you put it all together carefully, and for us this was a better choice than a line or putting a pole in the ground. Recommended highly if you would prefer a simpler installation and less hassle than digging a hole for a pole mounted one; also a bit less unsightly than a clothesline can be in an urban setting.

I have owned this unit for 5 years now and I absolutely love it. Folds into the side of my house out of the way and is easily pulled out to hang clothes and folded back out of the way. Have shared with many people that have loved the unit.

Our new deck wiped out the space for our old traditional clothes line. I wanted something that I could keep on the deck but wouldn’t take up serious real estate. This thing fit the bill! Easy to install (took 15 minutes or less - use the template on the side of the box), and easy to use. Can hold about two average-sized laundry loads and has held up to the Kansas winds. Cover is easy to place. Highly recommend.
