Hills 115544 Supadry Hoist Rotary Dryer 4 Arm - 60 meter

I have the ground spike cemented in and the pole when slotted into the spike and locked into position is very firm and steady. I thought it may be a little too high for my wife who is 5 ft 2 ins but not a problem. With the main pole wound down she is able to use it without stretching. Setting up the dryer for the first time took a little time, whilst I read and followed the instructions and got used to the mechanism. It only has to be set up once and then it is just getting used to the wind mechanism. Rasing the was a little stiff on first use but it has loosened a little to make using the dryer a doodle When putting it up for the first time you may need to untangle the lines. This is easy as each tier is a separate line NOT a continuos one. My wife and daughter state that it is a great family dryer and is very stable. They really like it. We have 6 adults and one 2 year old in our house. It spins very easily even with a full load. It does need space to spin if it has a large sheet duvet etc. For its size, ease of use and quality it is easily worth the extra one has to pay for this model. . The only down sides are: It can be a little tricky if taken out of its socket when put back due to its size whilst positioning the lugs into the recess in the ground spike. I have always been able to do it with out help but, I think that someone around the 5 ft mark may have difficulty balancing the pole whilst positioning the lugs especially on a windy day. Hills no longer make a cover for this particular pole and all their other covers are not big enough. I can certainly recommend this dryer.

It may be expensive but you get what you pay for a great washing line well built i had one before this one it lasted 14 years so 4 years over the ten year warranty 10/10 that’s why I bought this again as better the devil you know 👍🏼

I received this line 11 months ago.Good to start with,but now the line has broken in 3 places.I see that the replacement has changed,it no longer has tighteners in place but a single strand.Have asked for a replacement.Up date.No replacement in fact no comment or contact from supplier.Further after receiving no contact l have decided to repair the lineal purchased Hills replacement line.Because this is a pre-mod line the tensioners are black shaped cubes which swing open.Tie one end in tensioner and thread the line through the arms and into the other end pf the tensioner pull tight and close.Job done

This rotary washing line is well made, and sturdy. OK, it's expensive, but provided it's installed properly gives good service. So the first comment is that it is vital that the socket is sunk into your lawn, bedded in concrete. The rotational force exerted on the base by about 50 kg of wet sheets, clothes etc is huge. If you can't install the socket yourself, get a builder to do it. IMHO the design fault lies in the locking pin (the red item in the picture), in my case, it fractured after a year, leaving a broken half in its retainer (see picture)I soon discovered that the drier is not manufactured by Hills, but by Freudenberg in Germany. My heart sank, however, I went to the Freudenberg website, emailed the contact address with pictures, and asked for a replacement locking pin, and a spare if possible. A couple of weeks passed, and two locking pins came through the letterbox! Sent from their household products division in Rochdale which is great service. Fitting the new locking pin is not for the faint hearted. I had to drill out the broken half. When the broken half is removed, you cannot fit the new pin by pushing it in manually, put the drier upright in its socket, put the pin in its retainer, and smartly bring the bottom and top together (picture shows bottom and top with broken pin)the pin will then snap into place as can be seen in the picture. Lastly, the lines on the drier are smaller in diameter than a conventional washing line in order to help the folding requirement, a bit of reasearch is needed on pegs!! I'm still very pleased with the product.

Just perfect and good value for the money

Ordered this on the image that it was grey and black. Builder came to install it today and it’s green (which I did not want this colour). Very disappointed did not get what was ordered, So please check if you have ordered this colour when you receive it 🥲 Hills rotary are very good quality

Do not buy this product if you want to dismantle, because it doesn't. It stands so high from the ground that I cannot reach to put a cover over it, although it is fairly easy to lock into place safely. There is plenty of drying space, but my elderly neighbour cannot reach to hang her washing, we are about to purchase another user friendly one instead. Too expensive for the hassle.

This is a good line but the hoist mechanism sometimes doesnt work as you have to rotate the line and try again to get it to elevate. The lines are feeble too - but easy to repair.
