Shoppers are raving about $860 Amazon electric clothesline

The ultimate space-saving laundry product has impressed shoppers online, despite the high asking price.

A motorised clothing rack that attaches to the ceiling has been praised as a space-saving device, with one commenter saying, “I need this in my life.”

Details of the handy clothesline were shared to popular Facebook page Cleaning & Organising Inspiration Australia.

The item was the foxydry air, wall and ceiling clothesline, electrical drying rack. It has a remote control, enough space for 24 hangers, extension poles for larger items and includes an LED light and fan.

The item is intended to help the user save space in their home, attaching either inside in, for example, the laundry or over a bathtub, or outside on balconies or terraces. When not in use, it is easily put away with the touch of a button.

The clothing rack extends down to a maximum of 180cm from the ceiling but can be stopped at any height.

It holds up to 35kg of washing.

While it isn’t cheap – on Amazon Australia, it is listed at $860 – Facebook users were impressed by the clever product.

“Gee that looks handy,” wrote one person on the post.

“I need this in my life,” another said.

“My dad built one of these with an electric garage door opener motor thingy – I think he found it at the tip,” one social media user said. “He’s really creative like that; it’s strong enough to lift a lot of wet towels.”

Another, who tagged their friend in the comment section, said: “Looks like your kind of heaven.”

Another social media user said that it wasn’t a new concept.

“My friend’s mum used to have one like this but it was on a pulley with a rope. You could lower it and put it up,” they said.
