BLACK+DECKER 63099 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer Aluminium, Cool Grey, 140cm x 73cm x 68cm

Product Information

Although it’s longer horizontally than the tiered airers we tested, there’s something quite refreshing about its diminutive height. Being four tiers tall, it’s a bit wobbly, so has been designed with big plastic feet to keep it upright.

The better way to use this gadget is to give your clothes a good spin and then let them hang on it overnight and switch it on the following day. It takes about four or five hours for cotton and linen and over ten hours for jumpers and thick materials. I found it easy enough to slot the contraption together the first time I took it out of the surprisingly small box it arrived in, with no tools required. As with all of these airers, it arrives assembled - so all you need to do is simply fold it out, plug it in and switch it on. I was really impressed with the speed and efficiency of the Black + Decker airer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it, especially to anyone taking their first steps into the world of heated airers.

The Full length zip means it is easy to open and leave in place when loading or unloading the airer with clothing.We found there wasn’t a lot of difference between the heated airers when it came to their energy consumption, with the models we tested using between 0. It took close to four hours to dry a full load of clothes, but again that’s still notably quicker than air drying, especially in winter. But, after weeks of testing, the Easylife XL heated airer landed the top spot in this review, thanks to being capacious enough to hold an impressive amount of clothing.
