Cons: Can't think of one.
I bought my rotary last spring. Don't let the price scare you. You get what you pay for . . . have you seen the real cheap ones at Lowes or Home Depot? They will not last and you will be sorry you bought and inferior brand. This Rotary is very well made and very high quality.
For as funny as it sounds, I was so excited to begin my new venture in line drying. I have always used a dryer and only hung clothes out on a drying rack. I really find this rotary clothesline so easy to use. Crank it open, load the laundry, crank it higher so it sets the line and then with any gentle breeze the lines spin and your clothes dry. My kids love watching it spin. I like getting outside and getting some air and sunshine.
I can just fold it down and put the cover over it (that was sold separately) and you don't really notice it in the yard. We had a party outside and we just took it out of the ground and hung it in the garage (hanging brackets are available too so you can store it out of site.) In Australia, everyone has a "Hills Hoist" in their yard and they think we are crazy for not line drying. So this rotary has been engineered to perfection as the company has been making them for over 60 years! And a 10 year warranty is awesome . . .I really think you would be very happy with this Hills product.
