AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the thread cord. They mention that it works great, is sturdy, and made well. Some say that it's fine for delicates, but for hanging anything heavy, they'd choose the Minky.

"...They are very easy to use and work perfectly...." Read more
Customers find the installation process of the thread cord to be easy. They mention that it's easy to screw to their porch post, run the rope out to an old swings set, and tie a knot in the line. The hardware stays installed on the wall, and the metal bracket stays in place.

Customers like the retractability of the thread cord. They say the lines are long, retract easily, and there is plenty of line. The unit can be removed easily and quickly, and the reel can be brought back in easily.

"...I love the self-retracting feature, too. One little thing: I added cleats to the house under where the line is attached to keep it tight when in use...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the durability of the thread cord. Some mention it's as sturdy as is said, while others say that both of theirs have broken. The plastic tips break easily, and the bottom of the unit are not sufficient to last very long. The lines' casing has cracked in places, exposing the inner. The bottom attachment points have broken, and of the teeth that the cords wrap around have broken off.

Customers are mixed about the appearance of the thread cord. Some mention that it's really nice to have two lines, and having two lines really helps with sheets. However, others say that the lines are quite thick and very sturdy, and the coated lines are hefty and retractable. That said, some say that it works well, and others say it doesn't work as well as they'd like.

Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the thread cord. Some say it's huge, while others say it is small and discreet. The length is great for sheets and bedding, and it is useful in tight spaces. However, some say that it can't take much weight and that it doesn't hold weight well.
"...of the line gives me peace of mind, knowing that it can handle the weight of multiple items including my heavy down comforters without any..." Read more
"Definitely not for heavy items. Even wrapping it like it says the lime just slowly sinks...." Read more
"The facts: It is huge and you can't just screw it down in any old place. It has two lines, so it is more versatile than most others...." Read more
"...I really like this thing. It’s a little bigger than I expected but still not to bad...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the stability of the thread cord. They mention that the line sags with the weight of the clothes, and it droops like crazy. The line also no longer retracts, which was the whole purpose of purchasing it in the first place.
"...8. If 19 inches is correct for your setup, the line will be slightly saggy but about as taut as you can get it without putting too much tension on it..." Read more
"...In fact, even just lightweight sheets and it starts to sag. I ended up having to use a long pole to give it support in the middle." Read more
"The line stretches out and creates extreme sagging no matter matter how tight you try to get it is the only flaw...." Read more
"...Only complaint is that once you hang clothes, the line sags...." Read more
Customers have issues with the tightness of the thread cord. They mention that the line does not stay tight, the tiny plastic "wrap" parts make it difficult to tighten the line, and the nubs for wrapping the line do not keep it taut. Overall, some customers are disappointed with the product's tightness.
"Nice and long, seems strong, etc. The nubs for wrapping the line DO NOT keep it taut… at all. Needs a better system...." Read more
"Easy to install, seems sturdy. Only issue is trying to tighten the line so it doesn’t sag with heavy wet clothes...." Read more
"...It's a bit tough to get it tight enough after several feet, but overall I really am pleased with the durability...." Read more
"...Line dried towels are the BEST: they're stiff and rough and really absorbent — after a shower, your skin is dry the instant it's touched by a line-..." Read more

There are very few $20 products that give this much bang for your buck.
Rather than to experience what others have gone through with fracturing and splitting nubs, I cut to the chase and purchased a couple of three-inch hard-fiber cleats to use for cord-wrapping, mounting them outboard of the clothesline housing maybe 1.5 inches or so. They work very well and should outlast the unit and its cords. I of course will not use the nubs at all. The manufacturer should reinforce those nubs, which are scandalously flimsy. I'd give this five stars then rather then four.
My need is in the laundry area for hanging smaller items that are not going into the electric dryer nor worth putting up the Brabantia Lift-o-Matic umbrella clothes dryer outside for---purchased, incidentally, from Amazon a couple of years ago and the best such device I've ever seen or used---so it's spanning only about 12 feet, which is just fine.
But one thing briefly puzzled me, and that was how to get the lines relatively taut and non-saggy. It can be done, but if it's not organized but instead done by eyeballing the lines each time, the lines will either be too saggy or too taut to finish attaching to the cleats. But then I figured out how to do it just right every time. Here is the process for both lines:
1. Pull out the lines and attach them to the hooks you have installed at the end of their run.
2. Get a yardstick---easier to use for this purpose than a retractable steel tape rule---and hold the end against the orifice where one of the lines emerges from the device housing.
3. With thumb and forefinger of the other hand, grasp the line right at the orifice where the end of the yardstick is. Pull the line out to 19 inches---this is a good place to start, because that is the distance at which I finally arrived after much experimentation---and hold the line against the yardstick at the 19-inch mark with your thumb and forefinger, keeping the yardstick firmly snug to the line orifice as you do so.
4. With the hand that was holding the yardstick, let go of it and grasp the line right at the orifice. Now you have one hand holding the line against the yardstick at the 19-inch mark and the other hand holding the line against the edge of the orifice.
5. Keeping the line taut between the 19-inch hand and the orifice hand, let go of the yardstick (now being held by the 19-inch hand) and let if fall.
6. Holding the line in place at the edge of the orifice, and keeping it taut with the other hand, bring the line around against the side of the housing and catch it against the bottom of the cleat.
7. Wrap the line entirely around the cleat, bottom to top and then top back down to bottom, and then bring the line back to the top again, which gives you one-and-a-half wraps. Hook the line at the top of the cleat as if to wrap it again, but don't.
8. If 19 inches is correct for your setup, the line will be slightly saggy but about as taut as you can get it without putting too much tension on it. If it is too taut to catch at the top of the cleat, start over trying 20 inches the next time; if it is a little too saggy, try again with 18 inches.
9. Whatever the correct length of the pull-out portion turns out to be, when you have the line hanging and secured the way you want it, take a magic marker and dot the line right where it bends back against the edge of the orifice. Then unwrap the line from the cleat, which will cause it to retract, and pull the line back out until you see the black dot. Take the magic marker and put a black ring around the line at the dot location so you can find it easily whenever you want to extend the lines for use. The black mark always goes right at the orifice edge.
There may be another way to do this, but I could not figure it out. It's a minor hassle, but once the correct amount of slack line is determined to be correct for securing the lines at the cleats, and the lines are marked with the magic marker, it will be no problem to extend and secure the lines ever afterwards.
I love its sturdy construction. I can easily hang two lines of clothes without worrying about it bending or breaking. The durability of the line gives me peace of mind, knowing that it can handle the weight of multiple items including my heavy down comforters without any compromise in quality.
One of the aspects I appreciate the most is the nostalgic touch it adds to my daily life. Hanging clothes on the line reminds me of the simpler times when my grandma used to do the same. The memories of playing hide and seek among the hanging sheets blowing in the breeze, come flooding back, adding a charming and sentimental element to the everyday chore. I had bought a cheaper brand of clothes line but when I put the clothes on the line broke very quickly. This line holds in place very well.
During the spring and summer months, I thoroughly enjoy having my clothes out on the line It's a reliable, well-made product that not only serves its purpose but also brings a touch of nostalgia and joy to my home. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and efficient outdoor clothesline.
