My husband would never lit me have a clothesline outdoors; not at this home anyway. He thinks they are ugly! His mom always used an electric dryer. He  doesn't do laundry!  I alway hang things around on hangers, the fence, my bicycle, outdoors anyway! This rack is great for multiple items at once! I can put it away so we do not look like a laundry business!
   

Pros: We are limited to how much water we can use and electricity is very expensive in rural areas of CA so this works out great for me, It is too hot to use electric dryer in summer here & clothes dry quickly in hot air.
Cons: I could use a maid & house keeper but its not in the cards!
