Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crawford-Lehigh LA84P-1 Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer
Customer Review: Easy to install and use
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the product quickly. It was easy to install and is light weight making it easy to fold up and put away when not in use. I am completely satisfied with it.Customer Review: Easy way to go GREEN
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking to save money on you energy bills, this is the way to go! Easy to install ground socket, easy to put up, easy to take down. I like the fact it's removable from the ground, makes it easy to mow around. I guess one word says it all... EASY.
It should pay for itself in a very short time with the reduced electric dryer usage. I dry almost everything except on it bath/beach towels (too scratchy) and jeans (too stiff). Especially sheets and blankets. They smell so fresh! I still use my electric dryer for towels and jeans.
Heat drying can damage many clothes, specially those that contain nylon and Spandex or anything with rubber elastic. So using this dryer can increase the usage life of many types of clothing, especially undergarments.
The fact that it's removable from the ground should increase the dryers usage life. I store it in my walk-in closet when not in use, keeping it safe from strong winds and storms.
The only negative thing I have to say is that I have to plan my usage around the weather. But that's not the product's fault.
I looked around in the local Lowes and Home Depot for these but they were not carried... I bet they would sell like crazy if they did.
My mother is very sceptical about ordering something on line. But once she saw mine, she asked me to order her one too.
Customer Review: Economical and relaxing
Summary: 4 Stars
There was one arm that had a bend in it when it arrived but since it still closed up all the way and doesn't seem to affect its use I didn't want to hassle with an exchange. I used it nearly every day for 5 months and like it much better than any of the more traditional straight line closelines I have had. The retractables were the worst of those. This one is very lightweight and easy to handle.
This has very little line sag on heavier items because of its design and thanks to the height adjustments draping things like a sleeping bag and comforter over the top is easy. Large sheets are folded so as not to drag on the ground and easily wrap around. After the first few uses you may need to tighten up the line but this is easy and takes just a few short minutes.
I love how much more economical and quiet this is than a gas or electric dryer and is so much easier on the clothing. If you are concerned about sun fade most things dry in less than 1 hr and sometimes before you're done haging the full load and can be hung inside out. You can also buy a large patio or picnic umbrella and run the pole up next to the clothesline pole for shade. We had to lift the umbella pole up a ways, open the umbrella then let the pole back down again and tied the two poles together but it worked great. I also hang our undergarments, socks and ugly work or play clothes out by putting them on the short inner lines with larger things around them which allows complete privacy and you still get to enjoy seeing only the "nice" things blowing in the breeze.
Added bonuses.
1. Sunlight is a natural stain remover and fabric whitener.
2. The kids love to hand old sheets and use this as a fort or play house.
3. If you forget or must leave there is no risk of fire and your clothes won't get wrinkled by laying in a heap in the automatic dryer.
4. Good way to remove bad smells such as gasoline, grease, animal scents(hunters and their wives know about this), and smoke. Some may take few days and a couple of washings but thus far I have only lost one pair of jeans.
Customer Review: Energy Saving and Space Saving
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this clothes dryer. It is low enough for me to hang my clothes outdoors. Large capacity allows me to hang a lot of laundry.
In one month it saved more on my electric bill then the cost of the unit itself. If it would ever need to be replaced, I would use this model again.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted!
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked everywhere for an Umbrella style clothes line, and couldn't find one that suited me. Most were cheaply constructed and small. I was looking for one that could easily hold a full load of laundry and was easy to install. And this is it! Easy to set up, with step-by-step instructions, swivels easily to make it easier to put clothes on it, and holds a full load of laundry, with room to spare!
This is exactly what I wanted, and I didn't have to pay a fortune for it, either (though I would have).
The only negative about it is that one of the arms is slightly dented and bent ever-so-slightly askew, because of the rough handling that the unit went through while being shipped UPS. I know that the manufacturer couldn't control that, but I think a reinforced box would have been a nice idea, as the package is extra long, and those conveyors at UPS are dangerous for abnormally shaped or sized packages.
However, the bent arm isn't even noticeable once it was set up and opened, and it certainly doesn't affect the integrity or the use of the Clothesline at all! I love it, and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a clothesline that will do the job with the least amount of hassle and fuss.
