Customer Rating:      Summary: You'd do better to purchase the items separately and avoid suction cups Comment: This travel laundry kit has been around for ages. I got one when I first traveled abroad a decade ago, and it turned out to be something of a nightmare. While seductive with its packets of Woolite, sink stopper, and clothesline, you'll quickly notice that the suction cups on the clothesline rarely stick to a surface and cannot support the considerable weight of wet hanging laundry.
I'd recommend instead purchasing such elements separately. The Flexoline laundry line has long been preferred by people traveling light, and it's strong and stretchable enough for anything. Woolite packs can be bought on their own at greater number for less cost. The sink stopper, being a simple slab of rubber, can be had for pennies in a store near you. Avoid this kit.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Love 'em!! Comment: The clothesline and drain stopper were very handy (we don't use Woolite). Don't know how well the suction cups on the clothesline hold up (I got stronger ones at the local hardware store but didn't use them), but most of the time we wrapped the cord around a door handle and/or a chair--there always seemed to be a way to make it work (and we've rigged up a lot of other things, but this was easy and effective). Works well with light items (we almost exclusively use light weight, quick-dry, travel clothes) and remember to wring anything out first with a towel so that it will dry much faster.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Travel Laundry Kit Comment: Good idea, but the suctuion cups were defective making the item worthless. We sent it back.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great travel laundry kit Comment: The kit was great in Italy; however, the suction cups on the line didn't work in all the places I stayed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Perfect for travel Comment: This was perfect for our trip overseas. one thing I added was a couple of packages of inflateable hangers. I used them with the clothes line and we were able to do laundry each night in our hotel room.
