If you’re a large family, you will likely want a rotary airer that has at least 50 metres of line, to give you enough washing line space to dry all the washing. This is their main advantage, and can be particularly useful if washing drying heavier items like duvets, blankets or towels.

Aside from the whimsy of it all, using a rotary washing line is a great way to reduce the use of your tumble dryer and save money on expensive energy bills.

For example, it can help to hang heavier items closer to the reel or hooks than in the middle or the line, and only extend the line to 8 – 10 metres instead of the full 15.

Just like it's big brother the Vileda Sun-Rise, the Sun-Lift has a square base that may not fit any existing circular holes on your patio. Quality may be slightly lower than some other options, but if you just want an inexpensive, basic rotary line, this one won’t break the bank. Firstly, your rotary washing line may have a couple of height options, if you’ve been using it on the lowest level, pushing it up further will tighten the line. Once you have loaded up your rotary line with one or more loads of washing, we all know that it must be sturdy enough to hold up against the British weather, especially the wind.
