Any rotary airers/whirleygig recommendations?

Wowzers, never knew there would be so much choice :rotfl:

Can't see the wood for the trees now as I have looked at so many, does anyone have any recommendations or advice to steer clear of any?

I use a Wirleygig line. They are expensive but great if you don't have the space for a line which I don't.

I wouldn't bother with the cheapest but you don't need to go for the most expensive either.

Make sure that you get one where the outside widest part of the line can take a bed sheet.

we have a vileda one, green from argos, 4 arms, friends also have the same one it is very good and comes with cover and peg bag with pegs.

What is a Wirleygig line Linda32? Not thought about the size for bedding, thanks for the tip.

Will have a look at that one thanks ragz :beer:

From the many ive had experience of, most 4 arm ones take a double duvet cover, mine takes about 3 loads of washing if I have enough pegs, not sure of the make, got it in b and q

Be careful where you put it - make sure a sheet folded in half won't be catching on bushes/anything when the wind's strong. Also, make sure you don't plonk it in the middle of the grass, creating muddy tracks to get to/from it when the weather's wet/wintry.... given a patio, followed by grass, I'd plonk it at the edge of the patio so it was half over grass, half over the patio.

Also, if you have a smallish garden, if possible, sink two boreholes - one in the middle where it can whizz round in the wind.... and one out of the way for those windless days when you want to sit out but the washing won't be flapping... else the sheets'll be whipping you in the ear as you try to drink your cup of tea.

Thanks jools27, ours is kingsize bedding but hopefully still ok.

Great points PasturesNew I had not thought of that.

Will buy today and look forward to having the help of the sun to bleach the stains from my baby's washing :T

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: speaking of tea I nearly spat it over the lap top when I read this!

I just ordered THIS ONE from Argos.. it seems to have good reviews whereas the others were all appalling.. esp the vileda one oddly.. lots of problems with them bnding and breaking..

OH snapped my washing line on Monday but it is soo soggy for me to go out and hang out washing sadly.. this is going against the patio bit so I can get some heavy items out to blow.

i have been looking at brabantia ones, not decieded yet, i have stepping stones over the grass to get to mine if that helps anyone, useful if the grass is wet

I have a 4 arm brabantia from costco, king size bed linen fits and I can get 4 loads on it at once
