Style Selections 6-in Plastic Indoor/Outdoor Retractable clothesline

Stretches. Can't be tightened by hand loaded.

This line stretches under a small load of towels. I had to prop it up to keep the towels from touching the ground with the line @ abt 7' on the low end. Can't loop to tighten and lock while it's under load. hurts hand. Can't pull it tight while it's empty. May be fine for lingere only.

Don't purchase!

I tested it our and noticed that it sags alot. And then when I tried to recoil it wrapped around itself internally and now won't retract. Poorly made. Doesn't work.

Junk!

I got one use out of this before it snapped. I set it up correctly. However there's only a 14lb weight limit but that information is not on the outside of the box. So you can hang, what, 4 pairs of pants? Maybe? The line is way too elastic so if you stretch it enough to get tension, it snaps.

Failed on the Second Use

Do not buy. It is a piece of crap. The cord is like a rubber band; when you hang clothes it stretches to the ground. The retracting feature also failed. The cord rewound around itself. I had to pry the cover open to untangle the cord

Just OK

The screws that come with it are junk the line at 40 feet would never hold that much laundry. But for say 25' with your own screws it is fine

Actually pretty decent!

Not sure why this is getting so much vitriol in the reviews. For a 49' vinyl cord it makes sense that it'll begin to sag as you weigh it down over a long distance. I was aware of this when I bought it, and in tandem bought a few 6' Vigoro brand garden stakes (with the notched ends) to prop up the clothesline and the whole setup works flawlessly. $10 for 2 stakes, $3 for a pack of 50 clothespins, and $15 for this, easily is a much better investment than running my rather inefficient dryer constan...
