Minky Retractable Duo Reel Washing Line, Grey, 2x15m

Product Information

It’s not up to the standard of heavy-duty products like the 35m line from Better and probably won’t last as long, but for what it costs I was not disappointed by the quality of the plastics used in its construction. However, there is one flaw to this design that stands out, and that is when you have a lot of clothes on each line, the inner lines won’t get as much air flowing through to them and might dry at a slower rate. kilograms, and this is why I would only recommend it for outdoor use where you can screw it into the outer walls of your house. Once you’ve finished drilling, and definitely before you push in your wall plugs, check that you haven’t slipped with the drill and the holes line up spot on still. Anyway, the test was prompted by me moving home and needing a new setup so I thought I’d hopefully help you benefit from my experience!

Before you start giggling like school kids, I’m referring to the size of the casing, and the length of the line. IF you’re a bigger family with heavier loads then I’d have to say this won’t necessarily be your top pick. They are posi-drive so any Phillips screwdriver will do – I would recommend a PZ2 or PH2 screw bit for best fit on the screw though.

I feel for a plastic unit it pushes the ability to the limits – though many have had years of decent service from their Minsky – me included, mine was just fine at the old house for two years and we are a family of five with about as much washing as you’ve seen in the video above – probably because we never got anywhere near the 55lb weight rating to be honest and the average unit is very strong. Let’s say you have a small garden, or maybe even just a balcony or small spare room to utilise- multiple, parallel, washing lines can help you make the most of your available space. 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.

The installation is just like the Vileda and is directly in competition on that front, it would seem one has copied the other, don’t ask me who but it’s a generic design for a wall plate so no surprises the odd feature similarity is going to crop up. I ended up going for 50mm screws but I think anything size 4 and 40mm up is fine, size five would be bullet proof and beyond the weight rating of the line itself considerably, and if you like to be sure then use the size 5 40mm wood screws rather than those supplied and feel immeasurably more comfortable with that.I have to say though, despite being my top pick I have noted over the tens of thousands of sales you get the odd few that result in a broken bracket – this is generally as a result of too much weight or a dud retractable washing line – don’t worry, the guys will replace it for you no problem and overall it’s a quality unit but I had to point out that flaw, it’s the honest thing to do! The Minky 30m Outdoor Retractable Reel has 2 15 m washing lines to provide a total drying length of 30 m, which is sufficient for about 2 loads of washing. Now I know we get to set the tension ourselves but I can’t pull it anymore taunt than that and also fully loaded the line does stretch a bit.

It’s not going to be enough for huge loads like the Better heavy duty washing line of the Wallfix, but then again, it’s not meant to.What’s more, unlike other retractable washing lines, this can really handle the weight without any problems whatsoever.

Its design means that you don’t have to worry about screwing the housing into any walls or anything like that, you just wrap the line around whatever is at hand, and use the carabiner and locking beads to secure it in place. The action of the line being pulled out from its casing works very smoothly on the Vileda Cordomatic, and you are able to lock it out at a length of your choosing.
