Tools and Hardware Reviews of Household Essentials 1600 12-Line Outdoor Umbrella-Style Clothes Dryer with Aluminum Arms
Customer Review: Dad happy with Father's Day gift!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this clothes dryer for my elderly father, based on the reviews and the fact that it spun - so my Dad would not have to walk around to hang his clothes. He was so excited to receive this and since he already had a pole in the ground, installed it the next day. It worked perfectly until he had used it a few times. One day, after hanging all of his laundry (my Dad washes very few clothes @ a time), the whole thing collaspsed - clothes all over the ground - being resourceful, he picked up his clothes and took the pole apart and found where the lever was pushed in hence, the pole closed. I told him that I would return the item and he asked me to wait and see. Thankfully, he's had no problems since then, but be aware that this might happen.Customer Review: Daits

Well, the clothesline is wobbly in the hole and one of the lines was cut to short the item would not raise until I untied it, so I am out one line until I buy a long enough line to fit it. It seems unsteady to me. I am about to go hang clothes on it for the first time we will see how it does.Customer Review: Does the Job and Durable
Summary: 4 Stars
This Umbrella-style clothesline arrived quickly and in good condition. It was an easy fifteen minute job to dig a hole and mix a bag of Quick-rete (right in the hole) to set the plastic sleeve. Once the sleeve was set aplumb and the concrete dried overnight, the clothesline was slide into place the next morning. The line was ready for use right away. After quite a few uses, here are the pros and cons, as I see them.
Pros:
- Price
- Ease of installation
- Ease of use (basically you can stand in one place and hang a couple of loads
- Easy to remove in the winter
Cons:
- Lines stretch and have to be tightened two or three times until fully stretched. This is not a hard task, but does take several minutes to untie, pull, and retie the sections of line
- Not a big deal, but the plastic sleeve comes with a plastic cap attached by a flimsy piece of plastic connector. The cap came off right away and is missing in action. Not a big deal, but poor design on a non-essential piece.
Overall, this is a good buy. Functional, and well-constructed.

Arguably the worse product I've ever bought. The ends of the 'spokes' were so sharp I cut myself putting it up. The mechanism was so weak it snapped the first time I hung washing on it and all my laundry ended up in a heap on the groundCustomer Review: Don't waste your time

Had this item for approximately 6 months and it broke in a stiff wind. Granted it had clothes on it, so I purchased a more expensive one and paid shipping on it and it has lasted me a whole two months. We don't live in a very windy area and I don't over load the thing. I've contacted the vendor for a resolution, and am still looking for a reliable product ...
