Summary: 4 Stars
I wanted to keep my backyard clothesline but ... when not in use ... I wanted to see my garden not the clothesline. This product is working quite well.Customer Review: Clothesline

I haven't installed the clothesline yet, so cannot give an accurate review. It arrived in good time and appears to be what I had hoped it was.Customer Review: It works fine.
Summary: 4 Stars
IT held up under the weight of the comforters and blankets from our beds, and Im hopefully going to see a difference in our electric bill.Customer Review: Satisfactory
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product because i live in an apartment building that does not allow clotheslines on the balconies. I decided to hang the line near the balcony door to allow light and air to flow through. i had to spray paint the unit, because it is not an actual true white (more gray) so that it would blend into my wall. It is still large (approx 8inches across), so it doesn't quite blend in.
the line itself is very well made with the plastic coating. and the retractor is very fast so be careful with retracting. on the unit there is a piece that allows you to wrap the line so that it wont retract. I have done so, but i notice the line is still not taut and slopes downward.
If your intended use is to hang on drywall, I would highly recommend purchasing additional hardware. since i wanted to hang more than one piece of clothing. the hardware that was provided is very lightweight and easily rips out of drywall. i had to purchase larger, longer hooks and screws to drill into my drywall and studs.
Customer Review: For light loads only
Summary: 3 Stars
Works adequately for light loads (t-shirts, socks and under things) but the line slips when there is too many items on the line even when wrapped around the peg per the instructions. Perhaps if the line was not so slick this wouldn't happen. Jeans and heavy cotton towels cannot be hung from this line when extended out to its full length.
I purchased this retractable clothes line to use while looking for a replacement for my electric clothes dryer that had died. Installation is fairly simple. I attached the retractable unit on to the side of my house on an exterior window frame. The hook for the line is attached to a tree approximately 40 feet away. I extend the line to the hook in the tree, wrap the line around the peg per the instructions and then adjust the tension and try to get as taught as possible.
Overall I'd say this product works as expected for light loads and is worth the money paid. I've only used this product for 1 summer so only time will tell if it is durable.
