The LOFTI Aluminium Ceiling Pulley Indoor Clothes Airer 7m

Wish I'd read some of the other reviews before we bought this. Like other reviewers I have stopped using this after just a week or so. Whoever designed this didn't bother checking it for practicality. Be ready for 60% of the clothes you hang on it to slide straight off again, onto the floor, because the rails are shiny aluminium. Honestly, loading it with laundry takes ages. Wish we'd stuck with our old wooden one

We bought the Lofti as opposed to a traditional drying rack with wooden slats because we live in a modern house and thought the aluminium sleek look would be a better fit. It is - and it looks very smart. We have had two problems however. The first is that sometimes clothes slip gracefully off the smooth aluminium slats and land on the floor. The second is that it can't be mounted without the cord between the slats and sometimes the cord fouls on the frame,

I have had my Lofti for nearly three years. I don't know how I would manage without it, living in the UK with its variable climate! It can easily dry two loads of washing. Looking at previous reviews, to stop things sliding off, use pegs on either side of the garment, or, put garments on different hanger types. Easy! You can get so much more on and dries very quickly as it is over a boiler. However, it DOES need a stronger cleat and I wish the nylon cord was sold separately. The original frayed and it was difficult to find the same or similar. It now doesn't run nearly as smoothly.

I liked the sound of this being light weight and the poles wouldn't stain like my old wooden one had after a few years. However I am going back to the wooden one as this one all my clothes slide off it, the alluimuim is to slippery! It has caused so much frustration when hanging clothes I just don't use it anymore.

I've had the Lofti Dryer since 2013. I feared the pullies wouldn't last long, but they have! We used long screws to secure the rack in our concrete ceiling. I like it for hanging bedsheets or tablecloth.I had bought the Lofti Duo accessory (which could be split in 2 halves and attached directly to the ends of the rack) and it's been used so much,I need to replace it but it isn't on Lakeland anymore. Occasionnally something will slide off,but if items are spread in a balanced manner, and the load is evenly spread on the rack, all dries well without getting any marks. I definitely recommend it!
