Had five years a Leifheit 100 on the non-covered balcony side to dry clothes outdoors. He was decrepit and had to be replaced. I then decided to go for the Artweger 2A6WH. It is more stable, torsionally stiff, a bit heavier and also worked cleanly. He läst open well and the bars can be extended easily and quickly and remain stable even under extended wind and lingerie. (Unlike Leifheit) Disadvantage: Hakelige and time-consuming insertion of the last bars in the cassette. Here, the manufacturer would have to come up with a better solution! Therefore, a point deduction.
