Why traditional clothes airers just don’t cut it

There’s a reason so many households are switching to a better clothes airer alternative.

Flimsy and unstable

Load it with wet laundry and it starts to wobble or feel like it might tip.

Limited drying space

You run out of room fast, leaving clothes overlapping and slow to dry.

Easily damaged, short lifespan

Plastic cracks, frames bend, and it doesn’t last as long as you’d expect.

Can only be used inside

Not designed for outdoor use, so you miss out on sunny drying days.

Designed to replace the clothes airer, for good.

But what is better than a clothes airer?

The Handy Line® is a freestanding portable clothesline that gives you the drying space you need, without the hassle.
It’s lightweight, compact, and ready to use straight out of the box — no assembly, no frustration.

Below is the Deluxe Handy Line® portable clothesline vs clothes airer comparison.

Perfect for use on my balcony.

Great size for just the two of us. Really happy with my purchase after buying an alternative that isn't nearly as sturdy. I wish had just gone straight for a Peggs one instead of bothering with the other one. So if in doubt, just buy a Peggs line. You won't regret it. Great size for just the two of us.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

The Deluxe 10 handy line is just what I needed in my apartment. It is easy to set up and fold down. I can use it in my living room or on my balcony. I have used it for sheets using the ‘u turn’ method and it works well. It’s also strong enough for heavy wet towels and jeans. Definitely worth buying!
