Crawford-Lehigh LA84P-1 Large Capacity Deluxe Parallel Clothes Dryer

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Review

Nobody will argue that a clothes dryer is a wonderful convenience, especially in winter or on rainy days. But we're hard pressed to come up with something that smells more glorious than fresh laundry dried in the sun and breeze. And free drying power can't be beat.

This Lehigh line dryer is one of the best we've ever seen: It's compact, yet it has 197 feet of line drying space - enough for four loads of laundry - and the line tension is adjustable, perfect for hanging out heavy quilts. The drying height can be adjusted easily, too, which is good news if you live your life under 5'4" or so.

Installation is straightforward: Dig a hole, place the sleeve, pour in a little concrete. That's it. When you're ready to hang laundry, just slip the pole into the sleeve and open it up. The drying unit is aluminum, making it light enough for anyone to lift and carry it, so bringing it inside after laundry day is no burden at all.

We like the way the lines are cantilevered, getting more hanging room in smaller square footage. There's no assembly aside from setting the sleeve in the ground, either. If you're looking to save a little green and go a little green, this is a great way to do it.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Sturdy clothes dryer, easy installation. I used quik crete to cement the sleeve in the ground, then the pole just slides right into the sleeve. This way you can take it inside for winter storage. The dryer holds two large loads of clothes easily. I am very pleased with this item.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly packaged & very thin guage metal, May 10, 2007

This item was poorly packaged for shipping. It was just stuck in a plastic bag with no padding and arrived with a plastic bracket broken off. The responsibility for the damage was the vendor/packer not the carrier. After being in service for a month, the support pole folded over (about 2 feet above ground level) in a moderate wind gust. I had to break the bottom part of the support pole off as it would no longer stand upright. It can still be used but the line height now ranges from 3 to 4 feet above ground level. All and all, not very good value. I should have returned the damaged product when first received, but did not want the hassle or expense.

Though very happy with the product at first - the plastic 'joints' or brakets broke on the fourth use - do not know why since I was setting the dryer up and there was no undue pressure, just going about things normally. By the way Home Depot is selling these for $30.
