Tools and Hardware Reviews of Crawford-Lehigh LA84P-1 Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer
Customer Review: Easy way to go GREEN
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking to save money on you energy bills, this is the way to go! Easy to install ground socket, easy to put up, easy to take down. I like the fact it's removable from the ground, makes it easy to mow around. I guess one word says it all... EASY.
It should pay for itself in a very short time with the reduced electric dryer usage. I dry almost everything except on it bath/beach towels (too scratchy) and jeans (too stiff). Especially sheets and blankets. They smell so fresh! I still use my electric dryer for towels and jeans.
Heat drying can damage many clothes, specially those that contain nylon and Spandex or anything with rubber elastic. So using this dryer can increase the usage life of many types of clothing, especially undergarments.
The fact that it's removable from the ground should increase the dryers usage life. I store it in my walk-in closet when not in use, keeping it safe from strong winds and storms.
The only negative thing I have to say is that I have to plan my usage around the weather. But that's not the product's fault.
I looked around in the local Lowes and Home Depot for these but they were not carried... I bet they would sell like crazy if they did.
My mother is very sceptical about ordering something on line. But once she saw mine, she asked me to order her one too.
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted!
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked everywhere for an Umbrella style clothes line, and couldn't find one that suited me. Most were cheaply constructed and small. I was looking for one that could easily hold a full load of laundry and was easy to install. And this is it! Easy to set up, with step-by-step instructions, swivels easily to make it easier to put clothes on it, and holds a full load of laundry, with room to spare!
This is exactly what I wanted, and I didn't have to pay a fortune for it, either (though I would have).
The only negative about it is that one of the arms is slightly dented and bent ever-so-slightly askew, because of the rough handling that the unit went through while being shipped UPS. I know that the manufacturer couldn't control that, but I think a reinforced box would have been a nice idea, as the package is extra long, and those conveyors at UPS are dangerous for abnormally shaped or sized packages.
However, the bent arm isn't even noticeable once it was set up and opened, and it certainly doesn't affect the integrity or the use of the Clothesline at all! I love it, and would definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a clothesline that will do the job with the least amount of hassle and fuss.
Customer Review: We love our "solar clothes dryer"

Lehigh Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer #LA84P-1
We purchased this dryer at the end of June. It arrived in 2 days, WITH free shipping, and not prime. I love it. It arrived in great condition, no dents, dings, or even damaged packaging. We installed as directed with quick crete, that day, and after the concrete set we've used it every single day it hasn't been raining. We live in the very HOT south, so I never get more than two loads on it, they dry that fast.
I LOVE IT! And I hope my energy bill loves it this month too. So far, 3 wks, NO dryer running in the house.
Its easy to set up, and I did have to tighten the tension today. But not every time like some other reviews said. Its lightweight yet strong, and works like a charm!
Customer Review: Great dryer!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am using the line for the first time today.
All seems well. When I received, the cap for the ground sleeve was broken, but does not really effect the usability, although I would prefer that it was not broken. Set it up with ease.
Have 3 loads -1 load of whites, 1 of lights, and 1 of darks- drying outside now! I ran out of clothes pins (bought a pack of 100)
The packaging with the dryer mentioned a 32 pound load limit. I thought that didn't sound like much, figuring wet clothes have some weight to them. I did weigh the light load (t-shirts and such) and it weighed 9 lbs (with basket). I did a load of jeans/shorts (hanging to dry on a wooden rack since I ran out of pins, but there would have been room on the dryer for these also!) that weighed in at 11.7 lbs.
Looking forward to putting this to use for a long time!
Customer Review: Easy to Assemble and Use
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this "clothes dryer" to us on our back deck from time to time to reduce energy costs from the use of our electric dryer. I was please with both the quality and easy assembly. Not to sound too much like an suburban "redneck" but the easiest way we found to use it was to removed the umbrella from center of of the table on our desk and simply place the shaft of the dryer in to whole. Hey! It works and can be inserted and removed quickly without fear of the wind blowing it over. It easily turns to take advantage of sun on wind for drying. We have used it about six months in all types of weather conditions. Heat, high winds, rain, snow and ice. We have place heavy clothing items on it and the cords have held up well. Because of the aluminum construction there is no rust to harm garments. A good choice. I'm please and more importantly so is my wife.
