Household Essentials 17145-1 Retractable Clothesline Dryer - 5-Line, Indoor/Outdoor Use for Hanging Wet or Dry Laundry Review

This is our third of these drawer lines. My wife's parents have been at it for about 30 years and are still going strong. New. not as much. I hope it's just bad luck and this new one will last.

It only lasted three months! It must have broke on its own because I noticed it when I tried to use it again.

This cheap thing couldn't last more…
