Leifheit82201 Wall Dryer Telefix 70, White

Review of the smaller, 28" model:This thing is great! It's so nice not to be tripping over or constantly moving drying racks, or dodging stuff on hangers hung on the shower rod. True, there is not tons of space between the rods, but it doesn't seem to take much longer to dry than when it's more spread out. The 70 model has five rods, so I have dried 5 long-sleeved shirts with room for some socks, or a few pairs of yoga pants and a couple of t-shirts. The picture I uploaded shows a shirt, 3 yoga pants, and several pairs of socks drying in harmony. As I must flip them over the rods, due to mounting height, I can only dry 2 pairs of jeans at a time. I have not used clothespins, but they would work on this. The rods are designed to have a little give, which does not mean they're flimsy. My walls are plaster lath, so installation was easy. In my opinion, the screws and mollys that came with it are sturdy enough. Having said that, I don't hang stuff to dry sopping wet - I fold and squeeze water out, then roll into a towel and lean on it with my knee (planning on getting a spinner eventually for my hand-washing). I wash my towels at the laundromat, thus haven't tried those on the Telefix yet, but I am so happy with this, I plan to get the 100 model which is 40" wide, and has 8 rods. If that works out, I may not need the drying racks at all, yay!Update: February, 2020Five years later, and I still think it's great! I use it at least once a week and it looks and works as well as ever.I have also gotten a spin dryer for my hand-washing (centrifugal water extractor - no heat), and wow, no soppy towels from blotting, and things dry much faster! I got the Laundry Alternative Nina model and have been very happy with that as well.

Our laundry room is very small so we have to make the most use of every inch. Due to the lack of space, I had been drying delicates in the dryer instead of hanging them. I was replacing delicates sooner than I used to due to small holes or the material just wearing out. I decided to take to Amazon. This item was an Amazon special and seemed to fit the bill. The price was great and the size was ideal. I’m not very tool savvy but this was incredibly easy to install. You only need a drill, a hammer and a level. It was up within 5 minutes. It it pretty sturdy and held all of my delicates with no problem. Although it is anchored into the wall, I’m not sure I would try to hang anything heavier like jeans or a sweatshirt. It is ideal for the small space that I have and I love that it folds up so it is out of the way until I need it.

Unlike other reviewers, I found that the hardware to install this product were of good quality. ( Perhaps the company has changed the hardware due to customer complaints). With that being said, the size is perfect for my small spaced laundry room. Now I don't have to hang items all over my bathroom. The design is sleek and neat looking. It was easy to install even in my 200 year old home. The reason that I gave a 4 star is because I think the material is somewhat lightweight and not extremely sturdy. This is ok for me because I live alone and will be the only one using it. I would reconsider this item if I have others in the household that might be less than careful when adding or removing items from the rack. I love how it folds up against the wall and the rack is practically out of sight when not in use.

We recently renovated our kitchen and in the process, got rid of a mud/laundry room. I needed a solution for our powder room which now has the stacked washer/dryer to air dry the athletic clothes and other items that can't be dried. So glad I found this! It's so low profile. It's mounted on the inside wall, and it's pretty inconspicuous. Easy to open up and then stores away in seconds when not in use. It seems sturdy and should withstand regular use. Perfect for this small space! .I will echo what other reviews have said- the mounting screws are terrible. I warned my husband about the reviews, he tried it anyway, and we had the same experience. A quick trip to the hardware store and a few bucks later and he had suitable anchors.

I've had one of these for about a year installed in the laundry room, and then thought i'd move it to the yard for 'sun-dried laundry' -- and it is Awesome in the yard, so much so that i got a second one🙂it is very light compared to just about any similar model, and also considerably more economicalit also folds up neatly and compactly, doesn't look like a laundry line underneath at all, thus i sprung for two in the yard.it's withstood a number of rains so far (when folded) and is perfectly weather-resistant, and holds a full set of damp laundry with no issues..very cool household invention👍

This retractable clothes rack is such a nifty solution for a small laundry room. It mounts flush to the wall and it opens when you need it, then closes when you're done. I threw out my standing clothes rack which took up so much room. It appears to be sturdy, holds lots of hangers and was very easy to mount. This is a great solution for smaller spaces or where you want it to "disappear" flat when not in use.

These are groovy little helpers and are holding up well. Plastic is lightweight but after one year of use holding together and working fine. Not for large or heavy items like towels, jeans or tee shirts. We use them for getting smaller items like dish towels and underwear. If loads are too heavy, the screws have a tendency to fall a bit loose in the drywall anchors. The way it folds into itself and goes from a useful drying rack to a strip of plastic on the wall you’d barely notice is the best part. Ideal for small spaces.
