Addis Extendable 3-Tier Indoor Clothes Drying Airer Rack, Metallic Silver, One Size

Product Information

Like most things in life, it depends. In this case: on the amount of clothes you need to dry and how fast you want them to dry. Convenient– Adjustable for flat drying, and offering a handy, space–saving, indoor drying solution. We selected the heated airers and drying pods from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers.

Can heated clothes airers save you money? Our testing found heated clothes airers will cost about half as much money to run as a drying pod. Key specs – Type: Winged; Open dimensions: 143 x 60 x 100cm (HWD); Closed dimensions: 104 x 60 x 9cm (HWD); Drying space: 13.5m; Weight: 2.8kg; Guarantee: 3 yearsGuarantees: As mentioned before, finding a clothes airer with a good warranty is always beneficial because if and when it does break, you’re covered. Keep an eye out for this when purchasing an airer. This airer has a generous 13.5m of drying space, which is more than enough space for a family load. It’s winged, so it has adjustable arms that can lift to accommodate longer items or fold down to save space. It also comes with handy corner hangers that can be used to hold a delicates dryer, or even to dry shirts using clothes hangers. The only sacrifice you’ll need to make is that it’s not as sturdy as more expensive clothes airers on the roundup, which means you’ll need to be careful not to snap the thinner bars with really heavy items such as dripping wet beach towels – items such as these would be best draped over multiple bars. At a fraction of the price of the other airers, though, this one’s a no-brainer. We took each airer's capacity into account to also calculate the cost of drying a large cotton load.

If you already have a tumble dryer and are thinking of making a swap, it will also depend on what type of tumble dryer you already own.Heated: Whilst they are much more expensive than your standard clothes airer, heated airers can hugely cut down on drying time. These resemble tiered or winged airers, and are plugged into the mains to heat up each drying rung. Additionally, they’re less expensive to run than tumble dryers and are gentler on your clothes.

If you’re someone who dries outdoors, you’ll be familiar with the tell-tale peg marks that get left behind on your freshly line-dried laundry – even worse when they don’t disappear after ironing. Our Soft Grip Pegs have cushioned grips and strong springs to keep your washing safely in place without leaving any marks behind whatsoever.Compared to a tumble dryer, however, the story is a little more nuanced. If you have small amounts of washing that can fit on a heated airer in one go, then there are savings to be made when compared to condenser tumble dryers.
