Angela Awarded The Ecoforce Recycled Peg Basket and Pegs 4.7/5
I was pleased with the product. The pegs and basket look well-made. The green and yellow colour is appealing and I am happy that the product is recycled. I like that the pegs are in one piece with no spring and are made of quite thick plastic. I have had thin pegs break and springs ping out and go rusty. These pegs look like they will last. I was pleased with the packaging. I could see what the product was. The pegs were in a plastic bag in the basket and there was a cardboard wrap around the basket. The packaging was fit for purpose. The instructions/descriptions on the packaging were appropriate. I was happy with the number of pegs in the packet, and I was pleased with the basket which they fitted in. The basket was big enough to fit more pegs in.
The basket fitted on my washing line well and hung in place with no problems. The pegs held my washing on the line and I had no problems with washing falling off. I was pleased with the two different grips of the pegs. I used the pegs for all sorts of garments, jeans, towels, jumpers, underwear etc. They held all garments heavy and light on the line, with no problems. The pegs and basket were of good quality and looked robust. The pegs were made of thicker plastic than my other pegs which snap over time, so I think these will last a lot longer. The pack of pegs and basket was good value. I do think that the baskets shape could be improved. It would be better if the top was level all the way around, rather than having a curved dip, as more pegs would then fit in without the risk of spilling out. I like that the pegs are all one piece with no springs to ping out and therefore peg breakage. The pegs are also good quality being made of strong plastic. The pegs are of good quality and I think they are better than the traditional wooden and other plastic pegs. I would be happy to recommend them to others. I was pleased with the product. The pegs and basket were good quality and were value for money. Good quality, good value pegs made from recycled materials. Angela Wilson – Emily and Ieuan – 5 & 2 Years

Pegs are nice bright colours and look strong. The basket looks handy for storing the pegs in. Even better that they are recycled so environmentally friendly. Enough packaging to protect the item without being wasteful. Instructions self-explanatory really. Probably not enough pegs for a full drying green of washing but enough if you are using along with existing pegs. The basket is only bige nough for the pegs provided. The basket is a nice idea but the handle broke quickly so I had to put the pegs in my existing peg bag. I think it needs to be stronger. Good strong pegs which held items securely on the line. I have used them with various items, clothes, towels, bedding, coats etc. and they have been great. The pegs are great quality,very strong and look like they will last forever. The basket on the other hand was flimsy and broke quickly. For the pegs and basket is fantastic value. Despite the basket breaking, the pegs alone offer value for money at this price. The basket handle could be stronger and perhaps soft grips on the pegs to avoid marks on clothes. I wouldn’t use these pegs on t-shirts and fine tops as they do leave marks. I have a few soft grip pegs which I use specifically for more delicate items. Perhaps a smaller pack of recycled soft grip pegs could be produced even at a slightly more expensive price. I would purchase these items. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends. In fact I might purchase a couple of packs for my family. The only reason it is not 5/5 is due to the basket being flimsy and the pegs not being soft grip. Strong brightly coloured pegs which hold washing securely even in high winds in Scotland!

Looked quality set and liked the fact made from recycled plastic. Basket good idea for storing pegs. Packaging good and you do not need instructions for these sort of items. The basket came with ample amount of pegs for my needs, and you could fit in more pegs if required. Pegs are one mould so strong and nothing to rust. They look as though they will last. These pegs were effective when put to use holding jeans, towels, and all items of clothing safely on the line. Also nice idea to have the basket to attach to line so pegs are easily accessible. A good set, practical, robust and will last. Very good value for money. Would purchase and highly recommend. A big bonus made from recycled materials and still offered at a very reasonable price.
