Often copied and - up to plastic versions - disfigured since the 1950s, yet always unrivaled: The "Ruckzuck" of the family-owned company Artweger, founded in 1923 in Bad Ischl, Austria, is the classic among scissor-type laundry dryers. A simple handle and 20 kg of laundry find their place on this sturdy drying aid. When pushed together, it protrudes only 9 cm; when needed, it extends to 46 cm and then holds nearly 5.2 meters of laundry on a total of 7 sturdy rods. The scissor construction made of aluminum and the plastic-coated steel rods allow the dryer to be used outdoors as well.
