I’ve found the trick with drying delicates is lying them across the bars rather than hanging them over and risking stretching. When it comes to speeding up the process, those of us who can’t stand to see garments draped over radiators – or don’t want to fork out for a tumble dryer – will find that heated clothes airers offer a great middle ground. Heated airers are slower at drying clothes than tumble dryers but faster than radiators and non-heated airers. If you live alone or don’t get through much washing, the best compact airer is the Dry:Soon drying pod because it dries clothes fast. Once assembled and in-use, the airer cover speeds up the drying process and improves efficiency by trapping heat.After hanging up 300+ wet garments and literally watching them dry for more than 100 hours, I've reached the conclusion that whether a heated airer is worth it for you depends on what you currently use to dry clothes, how often you dry them and how much you're prepared to shell out for the running costs. You do need to move items around abit on the bottom bars, as there's no heat from underneath, but that's no problem.

There are no heated airers I've seen that let you only turn on a few of the bars at a time, so if you don’t fill it up you’ll have empty bars heating up but drying nothing, and therefore wasting money.With three tiers and 30 heated rails, it can hold 15kg of laundry, which works out as about two full loads of most standard washing machines. Clip the hanger to the bottom of heavier items such as sweaters and dresses to pull them taut and minimise drying times.
