Rotary clothes dryers

Anyone who has a garden or a large balcony can dry laundry ecologically - outside in the air. Rotary airers are a special type of the numerous possibilities for drying laundry. They offer sufficient space due to their size and height for laundry items such as bed sheets and duvet covers as well as tablecloths. The rotary airer received its name from its characteristic shape. When extended, its arms with the lines of the practical rotary airer remind one of the web of a spider - unlike the laundry tower. Rotary airers are used mobile and can also be firmly anchored in the ground. The latter is recommended if there is enough space for it in the garden. Make sure that the rotary airer can automatically retract the lines. The line retraction protects the delicate lines of the airer from the weather. If the rotary airer does not have such a retraction, buying a protective cover for it is recommended.

Useful accessories for the rotary airer

If you use a rotary airer regularly, you should buy enough clothes pegs, with the help of which the laundry can be securely fastened when the wind blows. For small items, e.g. socks, special hangers are recommended, on which the many small parts are attached and which are then in turn attached to the rotary airer. Protective covers for rotary airers can protect the folded-up airer from the influences of the weather. The rotary airer is ideal for drying laundry outdoors. These practical devices are available in several designs. There is the rotary airer with a ground socket. This is firmly anchored in the ground and can also withstand stronger gusts of wind. For camping use of the rotary airer, the mobile versions with special stands are suitable. They can be set up like conventional clothes horses. A great advantage of rotary airers - e.g. those from Leifheit, Juwel or simple rotary airers - is their typical construction. The opened rotary airer looks like a spider's web. Its lines are different in length and are also at different heights. The longest line sections are placed at the highest point. As a result, they are optimally suited for hanging larger pieces of laundry on them, such as large bath towels or bed linen. Small laundry items are hung inside the bottom of the airer.

The material used for the rotary airer

Since the rotary airer is mostly placed in a garden and usually remains there, its material is of great importance. Most rotary airers are made of aluminium with plastic parts. Aluminium is light, robust and weather-resistant. The plastic can weather over time. Therefore, the sensitive parts of the rotary airer are made of aluminium.

Line length and washing machine loads

The larger a household, the more laundry accumulates - and the larger the rotary airer must be. The line length must correspond to the number of wash loads. Small rotary airers have a line length of 25 to 30 m and can hold 2 washing machine loads of 4.5 kg each. Large rotary airers have a maximum of 60 m of line and offer enough space for 6 washing machine loads. This makes the large models well-suited for large families.

Height and height adjustability

The height of the rotary airer is between 190 and 230 cm. The height-adjustable models can be individually adjusted so that people of different heights can hang up laundry without stretching too much while doing so.

Equipment - The automatic line retraction

The rotary airer with a line retraction has two important advantages: Firstly, the lines of the airer do not tangle and secondly, they are not exposed to the weather when folded up. With the help of a clever mechanism, the lines can be retracted into the arms of the airer when you fold it up. With rotary airers with a line retraction, you also do not have to clean the lines before the laundry is hung up. You can buy rotary airers conveniently online in the shop.
