Dry:Soon Mini Standard 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer

Product Information

Although the efficiency of the model works out cheaper than putting on the central heating or using a tumble dryer, it is on the expensive side up-front. Winter doesn't do much for laundry drying times, and I had been caught out by damp clothes on SO many occasions when my favourite office outfit didn't dry in time for my commute. Purpose-made to help your Dry:Soon Mini Standard 3-Tier Heated Airer work even faster and more efficiently. If you are short on time then leave it turned on overnight and give it a good 12 hours to dry everything. Although sizeable once erected, the aluminium frame folds down to just 8cm deep, which makes an easy job of tucking it out of sight behind furniture or in a cupboard.

Final verdict: Costing just pennies to run, the Dry:Soon Deluxe heated clothes airer is a welcome addition to our home at a time when the tumble dryer is just far too expensive. But if you want to occasionally dry items almost as quickly as you can in a tumble dryer – and you don't own one or can't have one installed – a drying pod could be the answer. If you don’t have a suitable outside space, have been thwarted in your line drying attempts by the good old British weather, or are looking for the most time or cost-efficient way to dry washing during winter, then we think this is one household purchase that you’ll soon come to view as an essential.That would mean you’d need to use the heated airer for over 17 hours to spend the same money as just using your tumble dryer. Mumsnetters agree that the deluxe version has all the reliability and effectiveness of the original design, but with a few innovative enhancements, helps make daily life more convenient. In Autumn I will sometimes carry this outside, when no rain is forecast, and just quickly carry it back in if I think it is beginning to look like it will rain.

Similarly to the comparable Dry:Soon models at the top of this list, this 3-tier drying rack can hold a 15kg load of wet washing, and operates in a similar way, although some reviewers have complained about the tight spacing between the rails which can effect the amount of air able to circulate around the washing and increase drying time if it's packed too full. Consider a drying pod, which is a heated airer with a cover (the canvas covering will allow warm air to circulate beneath it and dry the clothes more speedily). Drying space is limited and the fan means it's noisier than a (silent) heated drying rack, but it's perfect for drying delicate items that can't go in the tumble-drier or key clothing that you need dry, fast. Wet laundry on your radiators will act as a barrier between the heat your radiators give out and the rest of your home. Dry T-shirts, socks or larger items over the rungs; lay delicate clothes flat to avoid stretching, or hang sheets and big towels over the top without them touching the floor.The zipped gusset turns it into just the right size to make a handy storage bag for your folded airer, and helps to stop it unfolding as you carry it, whether you’re sliding it under the bed or slotting it down the side of your wardrobe. It folds down to just 8cm deep, which is perfect if you're not blessed with tonnes of space, and it's made from lightweight aluminium, which makes it easy to transport. We're also all for shouting about those game-changing devices that will genuinely change your life forever. 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.
