Bought as a replacement for my previous Brabantia Lift-O-Matic Advance that had the mechanism finally give up. Now the kids are in uni we didn't need such a big line and this model seems perfect - smaller, broadly the same great mechanism and a grey option too. Now we're using it and it works as expected. Brabantia should make ground spike hole reducing adaptors or something - I had a concreted in 50mm spike and this is 45mm - so had to buy something else to ensure the line was stable in the old, larger hole.
