"We struggled for 12 months with a small portable clothesline but recently made the splash for this unit. It looks great and holds up to three full loads of washing meaning our entire laundry is done in a day. The colour finish matches our wall and the closing mechanism is very smooth. The installation service is also a fantastic option meaning there are no worries having it installed properly."

"This is the second one I have purchased as I was so impressed with the first one and I wanted one out in the open yard and one under cover. I previously tried a Daytek from Bunnings and returned it after 1 year as the line was about to snap due to poor design (the line on this one is pinched to tighten the line which makes it weaker after each use). The Austral locks the roller instead of pinching the line which is so much better. Plus it goes well with my colourbond fence and it's Australian made! Can't beat it!"
