I recently purchased the large Handy Line. My reasons were to save costs on our energy bill, however, I discovered that we actually like the way our clothes turn out better than the conventional dryer. This brings back memories to when I was a kid and I use to help my mom hang clothes outdoors. My mom recently passed away and I know she would be proud of me hanging clothes the old fashioned way. It only takes minutes to hang them. I was concerned about my permanent pressed clothes, I did not want to go back to ironing. I am so happy the way my permanent clothes turned out. They actually have less wrinkles than when I take them out of the dryer. I do use fabric softner in the wash which I think helps. I am so thankfull to have found this clothes line. I will let you know how it saves on our energy bill. Thanks again, Sue Boufford
