Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crawford-Lehigh RC40 40-Feet Retractable Clothesline
Customer Review: Sturdy, worth the money
Summary: 4 Stars
A great clothesline. Very sturdy. Go to the hardware store and get some extra screws and an extra hook, and voila, you can use it outside in summer and move it into basement for winter. If you are drying a heavy load, you'll need to wrap the line around the bracket twice.Customer Review: There's a trick to tensioning the clothesline.
Summary: 5 Stars
A few reviewers have commented that you need to pull the clothesline out all the way or it sags. If you look on the bottom of the unit, there's a little knob that resembles the cleats to which you tie up boats on docks. Just wrap it around 3/4 of a turn and the clothesline will stay plenty tight. I have a feeling this also reduces the wear and tear on the spring inside the unit and that it might last longer as a result.Customer Review: Two failed in two weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased two. Hung both. Used once. Went to use them again in two weeks and spings on both had failed, even though fully retracted.
I do not recommend this product.

Summary: 1 Stars
I got this because we're renting and I didn't want to install anything permanent. Initially I was disappointed because even when I wrapped the cord around the hook on the bottom of the unit, it still sagged. It really takes a lot of strength to pull the line taut enough while you wrap it around the hook. My husband used his muscle to get it tight enough to work, but that sort of defeats the purpose of retractibility if I have to get my husband to set it up each time I want to use it. It worked well for a while, but this weekend I went to use it after its been out in the FL sun all summer and after I hung a half-load of wet laundry on it, the plastic loop that holds the end to a hook just snapped, perhaps from sun damage. We tied it to the hook so it will still work, but in retrospect, I would just spend a little more to get something more permanent.
