Leifheit LinoProtect 400 DL; 40m Rotary clothes line with integrated waterproof cover to keep laundry dry - even when it rains; 2.94m turning diameter, Easy pull-open, Non-rust, lightweight aluminium

The rotary drier is great, good strong make. It is easy to pull up using the string pull on the side. Perfect to stop anything dropping on your nice clean washing, also to keep the rain off. Not that much heavier than our old one. We are very happy with this dryer . We thought the price was a bit high but having used it for a few weeks now find it worth every penny. It was Bought to prevent bird droppings on the washing and sorted that out perfectly, but also do not have to wait in once washing out on the dryer in case of rain, as it keeps drying when the rain comes.

I am madly in love with my new clothes line! I bought this because the wahing would be under an overhead wire and i wanted to protect it from bird poo . .and so far so good! Has to be concreted into the ground but once that is done you are off. Very sturdy, easy to use, takes loads of washing. Looks really nice. Folds down neatly and everything is protected and covered. Also love that it can just be lifted out of the ground and put away for the winter or during storms. Have left washing out in the rain and it is mostly protected . .the outside row may get wet if you have sideways rain like we do in Ireland!! Love it!!!

Naturally we all need some assurance that the item we are about to spend twice the price buying will justify its investment. With this top of the line rotary drier, it's an easy recommendation.We purchased this unit in January 2018, we live rural central Scotland, an area guaranteed to produce precipitation and frustration in equal amounts. We are busy, wash day is inevitably Sunday, this drier ensures that almost every Sunday is wash day.Don't do a half job mounting it on some form of metal spear, its big, catches the wind and top heavy. Concrete it into a small hole in the ground, the shaft is robust and the frame superior to other premium brands which we have bought. This allows the unit to perform at its best and washing can be left out in heavy downpours with immunity. Admittedly we haven't used it in very high winds, but this is common sense. It can take 2/3 loads easily, though the worst case king size duvet cover is a challenge to hang, an issue for every other rotary. We are guilty of leaving the pegs out and the hood permanently up, saves time finding the bag etc. So far we have never experienced any troubles, though I suppose it's possible if you try hard enough...….This drier should have been invented for the British weather years ago. Don't agonise on the cost, it makes life easier....

This arrived quickly and was easy-ish to erect. Very hard to get it totaly upright though. It has stood up to both Storm Brain and Hurricane Olivia on a very exposed site. I just wish the button to get it up and down wasn't quite so stiff. For someone older with slightly arthritic fingers it's almost impossible. In the past I had a larger Leifheit with the facility to have the lines retract when not in use and had no problem erecting that. The line at it's longest is not quite long enough to get a double sheet fully flat on I have to wrap it round the corner, otherwise it's fine.

Quite expensive , but this is a quality product , very sturdy and I fully expect it to stand the test of time. Remember normal rotary dryers require addition covers.The only downside is that although the canopy prevents the sun fading clothes this also reduces the sun's drying heat so clothes can take longer to dry than only a normal line. However if you watch the forecast , pick you days and this product could replace your tumble dryer.

I love the built-in cover! It's really neat and if there's a shower I don't have to rush out to get the washing. Also stops drips & insects coming down from nearby trees and prevents fading in bright sunshine. It seems sturdy and very well made. I hope the cord mechanism to open and close is robust - seems fine at present (I've been using this dryer for months now so it's looking very promising).

Got it for reduced price thankfully, eye watering cost. But does the job brilliant and now can hang washing even if showers forecast. Slightly concerned about the sturdiness of the handle attached to cord that you pull to open... Works great but how long for only time will tell. No regrets about buying it, brilliant idea, don't know why no one else does them... Not that I could find anyway.

Item has broken again, one arm broke, got that repaired, then second arm broke, was not the slightest wind at all, the product is not fit for purpose, very disappointing considering the cost.
