The good ol' British weather never fails us, particularly during the colder seasons, which can make getting your washing dry a bit of a tough job. Heated airers can look pretty same-y but this John Lewis option stands out from the crowd thanks to one small thing: shoe dryers. However, if the lack of a timer is bothering you, you could always invest in some plug-in timers (I use these ones at home - they’re great for Christmas lights too! Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Running at 1,000 Watts, it also uses more energy than some other airers featured here, but it makes up for it in efficiency (and it’s very useful in the event that you’ve run out of emergency shirts).

This Black and Decker accessory pack is designed explicitly for use with the Black and Decker 3 Tier heated airer. Metres of Drying Space - It has 21 metres of drying space spread across 3 tiers for all clothing types and full load capacity. The Black + Decker 3 Tier Heated Airer arrived folded down, held in place with a couple of cable ties. However, you do have to wait a little longer for clothes to dry on this than you would do on airers that have covers, as not trapping heat near the garment means drying time can be twice as long. This three-tier heated airer landed a spot in our review of the best, with our tester awarding it four stars out of five and dubbing it best for families.The cover to keep in the warm air and the castors to help move the whole thing around are really helpful. With 36 heated bars and a maximum capacity for up to 30kg of washing, this is a powerhouse of a dryer. It performs similarly to Lakeland’s Dry:Soon deluxe three-tier heated airer, but it is currently cheaper.

BLACK+DECKER is confident of the quality of its products and offers an outstanding guarantee for users of the product. But this is still notably quicker than a traditional airer – for reference, our experts tested these dryers in summer and found a well-spun load of clothes on an unheated clothes airer took six and a half hours to dry. It was one of the quickest dryers when it came to heat-up times and was warm to the touch in just 10 seconds. The pack contains a full length zipped cover that is easy to use with the airer and encloses the heat from it to speed up the drying process. DURABLE AND STURDY: Crafted with high-quality materials and built to exacting BLACK + DECKER standards, this electric airer is built to withstand daily use and will serve you for years to come.

Its space-saving design allows you to stow it away in a cupboard or utility room, ensuring your living space remains clutter-free. It may be an extra-large model, but this Minky airer is lightweight, making it easy and convenient to move around your home. Powered by a 1,200W motor, this pod-style dryer will hold 18 garments (or up to 10kg of clothing) and can be left on for 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minute time slots, or just switched on and off at will. With the money I save from using this as opposed to turning the central heating on, it will take me 50 hours of run time to pay itself off.
