I use my rotary line for the weekly bedding wash (sheets, etc.) but this pop-up airer is particularly useful for the smaller mid-week wash. It is easy to 'pop up' and to put away, and there is more than enough line for a couple of tops and sports trousers, a shirt or two, the tea towels, the week's masks, etc. I would not burden it with heavier items, eg. jeans, etc. and I have found it will sometimes topple over when faced with the gusty winds we can get here in the Scottish Borders! However, I have evolved an anchoring system, which solves the problem! Overall, a good buy.

Great solution for anyone who doesn't have space for a traditional washing line. Will take a full load of washing - but only if it's clothes. The only way to dry sheets, duvet covers etc is to spread the sheet over the top of the whole dryer - which means that only one sheet (and nothing else) can be dried at a time. 'Teeth' locking mechanism gets very stiff & stops working properly after a while, which means that the lines get a bit saggy, but it's still workable.

This airer appears to be much bigger on the photo which is very misleading, very expensive when only a child with a Wendy house could use it, l couldn't hang anything of size on it, it doesn't look robust and is going back, very disappointed in lakeland for selling this.

I absolutely loved this airer ...until the teeth on the locking mechanism sheered off. It’s still just about usable but in a very unsatisfactory way.

For the first few months i loved this airer, you can put washing outside and if it rains bring it back in quickly and continue drying indoors. However, after a while it broke - teeth on the plastic mechanism for holding up the airer snapped so i asked Lakeland for a new one, which they arranged very quickly for me. After a couple of months of using the replacement airer exactly the same thing has happened again, the teeth snapped off when i lifted the airer. It was less than half full at the time. So, great when it works but not robust
