Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Good retractable clothes line. After reading the reviews and seeing mine in person, I can definitely say the bottom plastic tabs used to secure the lines are too flimsy to be used for long. To solve this, add two stainless steel (or galvanized if you can find it) rope cleats next to the reel and you will be able to secure the lines very very well and this will also mitigate the risk of breaking the bottoms tabs.

Without, it would be 3/5.
