Vileda 4 Arm Black silver effect Rotary airer, 50m

I purchased one of the Vileda VIVA Complete package of a clothes drier with the the help and advice of Anthony Scully at the Solihull Store. Hew even kindly went to fetch a trolley for me. I have yet to open it but it is 50m of washing line with cover, bag of pegs, cover to keep the line clean if left outside plus the anchor base and short pole for the line pole to go into. I have owned one of these for some years already and am pleased to have bought a new one.

Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this. What an absolute nightmare trying to get this to open and then you need to be an Olympic weightlifter to push it up. Avoid this at all costs.

I bought this line and it’s rubbish, the lines have begun to break and need to replace it in a year
Would never buy Vileda again

To all the reviewers struggling to erect this dryer, please read! I too struggled to get the collar into even the first position, but by chance discovered a much easier technique! Do not push the collar up with your hand, instead squat below the dryer and hold the pole with one hand and the collar with the other. Then simply stand up! On my first attempt, the collar slipped easily into the 3rd position, much to my surprise!

Impossible to open, wish I had read the reviews prior to purchase, taking it back to B&Q for a refund
