LOWENERGY 7 Lath Pulley Clothes Airer Ceiling Maid – Traditional Victorian Laundry Rack Dryer for Kitchen, Utility, Bathroom or Garage (Black 2.0M)

The rack is just what I wanted and does the job. We always had a rack when I was growing up for our clothes to dry. Before I purchased my rack off Amazon I had two maidens which only allowed a small amount of clothes for drying at any ond time. I can now do all my washing in one go and have plenty of space to dry them. I wish I had purchased long before I did.

We really enjoy having this airer. Quality is good. But keep an eye on the rope knots because we had the rope break where it was tied to the cast iron lath holder, causing the whole unit to drop and swing. Could have been dangerous.

The only very small grow I have with this is that there is no fixing to stop the wooden slats starting in place. I've used cable ties but with upgrades to small screws at some point. This means you can easily adjust the length of the system which is great for making sure you can set it up regardless of the spacing of your joists. The only other tiny niggle is that the rules attach at the centre of the metal supports so you have to balance the washing!

This has been a life changer! Obviously you need the room to fit it somewhere, which in my high ceilinged victorian terrace is no problem, but once it's up, it's great. No checking the weather, no draping on the radiators, no more broken washing lines, no more pegs. It's also good for a bicep workout when it's full! Brilliant!

Looks fab in the picture but not the best quality wood moves when ever you try to put something on it

Fantastic value for the price

Been using this for a while now and it’s great. Usual gripes you see about sharp edges aren’t too bad - it is cast so I’d expect that but you won’t cut yourself. Wood is untreated but haven’t noticed it marking as of yet, and clothes come off unmarked and perfectly dry. The included fixings sheared clean off when I tried to mount the pulleys. I ended up grabbing some 6mm threaded rod from Screwfix and using that with large washers and double nuts to keep it secure but our beams are insanely oversized! The slats move around as there’s no way to affix them - just make sure when you mount it you leave at least 6 inches either side and that’s a non issue. For the money I can’t fault it. Just remember if you’re going to fully load it then it will be heavy.

An amazing addition to my clothes washing process during the winter.
