Amazon.com Product ReviewNobody will argue that a clothes dryer is a wonderful convenience, especially in winter or on rainy days. But we're hard pressed to come up with something that smells more glorious than fresh laundry dried in the sun and breeze. And free drying power can't be beat.
This Lehigh line dryer is one of the best we've ever seen: It's compact, yet it has 197 feet of line drying space - enough for four loads of laundry - and the line tension is adjustable, perfect for hanging out heavy quilts. The drying height can be adjusted easily, too, which is good news if you live your life under 5'4'' or so.
Installation is straightforward: Dig a hole, place the sleeve, pour in a little concrete. That's it. When you're ready to hang laundry, just slip the pole into the sleeve and open it up. The drying unit is aluminum, making it light enough for anyone to lift and carry it, so bringing it inside after laundry day is no burden at all.
We like the way the lines are cantilevered, getting more hanging room in smaller square footage. There's no assembly aside from setting the sleeve in the ground, either. If you're looking to save a little green and go a little green, this is a great way to do it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

What Others Say
Works great until you tighten the line
This line dryer was working fine until I tightened the lines. They were sagging and the clothes were sliding toward the middle of each line. I was just about done tightening the line for the 1st time when I heard a snap and the tension released. A metal arm (one of the four) that attaches via a plastic bracket to the main stem broke through the plastic near the base. All the lines sag now. The plastic cannot be repaired. Possibly replaced. But Amazon does not offer that. The line dryer is now useless. It seems to me the plastic was defective, or at a minimum a poor choice of material for this application. I've used it (lightly) about 3 mos so they will only provide a partial refund, and I pay to ship it back.
excellent
We live in a windy city and being able to bring my clothe line in is great. It is bigg enough to hold 3 full loads at one.
Worth buying
I wish I had bought this dryer at the beginning of Spring. I have used it a lot since I have purchased it and it works well. Nothing nicer than the smell of fresh laundry straight off the dryer. Hoping to save money on our electric bill too. The clothes line itself could be a little stronger but it just needs tightening up now and then. Glad I bought it.
umbrella clothesline
The item arrived promptly. There was some problem with the inital raising of the clothesline, the top button on the pole was stuck and we had to take it apart to fix it but once the clothesline was raised it has worked exactly as it should and I am very pleased with it.
Easy to install and use
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.
