Worst Leifheit all time

I had now for 18 years a Leifheit clothes dryer and was very pleased with this. So it was clear when it was broken, to buy a new one. If only I had better let the old repair.
The new Leifheit is NOT with one hand to open. And only with a lot of shaking and wobbling, opening and closing is possible. Then I seem in the last 18 years to have grown by 20 cm, because basically I put his head between the clotheslines, although they set up at the highest level, I'm only 166 cm tall actual!
A very big letdown.
However, I have so far found no alternative.
