Deluxe 10 vs Hills 170: Which Portable Clothesline is Right for You?
- by Ollie Taylor
When it comes to portable clotheslines, the Peggs Deluxe 10 and the Hills 170 are arguably the two most popular, and two strongest contenders. But which one is the better fit for your home? We’ll break down the key differences, so you can decide which suits your laundry needs best.
Portability & Ease of Use
The Peggs Deluxe 10 is nearly half the weight of the Hills 170, making it much easier to move around. A lighter clothesline is especially handy if you need to shift it between indoor and outdoor spaces or pack it away when not in use. While the Hills 170 is heavier, it still requires anchoring in windy conditions—so its extra weight doesn’t necessarily make it more stable.
Plus, the Deluxe 10 arrives fully assembled and ready to use straight out of the box. In contrast, the Hills 170 requires assembly, which, according to some reviews, can take over 30 minutes—not ideal if you’d rather spend your time doing something other than putting together a clothesline.
Size & Storage
Both clotheslines offer 10 lines, with the Peggs Deluxe 10 Handy Line boasting an impressive 16m, compared to the Hills 170 which has a slight edge in drying space at 17m.
The Hills 170 also has a larger footprint at 240cm long, compared to the Deluxe 10’s more compact 181cm length. If you’re working with limited space, the Deluxe 10 is the better option.
When folded, the Deluxe 10 has a depth of just 6.5cm, making it easy to store behind a door, under the bed, or mounted on a wall. The Hills 170, with its bulkier 14cm folded depth, is over double the size, and may be harder to tuck away neatly.
Design & Aesthetic
The Deluxe 10 is modern, sleek, and contemporary, designed to blend effortlessly into any home setting. In contrast, the Hills 170 has a more basic, utilitarian, and bulky appearance, making it feel more like a traditional outdoor clothesline than a stylish, space-saving solution.
Durability & Warranty
The Hills 170 has a lifetime warranty on the frame but only one year on the cord, whereas the Deluxe 10 comes with a 10-year warranty on the frame and two years on the cord.
Both products are manufactured in China, but the Deluxe 10 is designed in Australia, meaning it’s a patented design to Peggs. This ensures that the product continuously evolves to suit Australian households and conditions.
Which One is Better?
If you’re after something lightweight, easy to use, and built to last, the Peggs Deluxe 10 is the clear winner. It’s fully assembled, easier to move, and designed for both small and large households. If you need a slightly longer drying space and don’t mind the extra weight or assembling it when first arrives, the Hills 170 might still be worth considering.
Final Verdict
For most Australian homes, the Peggs Deluxe 10 is the smarter choice. It’s designed with convenience in mind, making laundry less of a chore. And let’s be honest—no one wants to wrestle with a heavy, bulky clothesline after washing a big load of laundry!
