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

Product Information

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. The high wings at each side of the airer allow you to hang even the longest garments. There is also a handy accessory for hanging small items without the need for pegs. Others resemble your typical clothes horse, often with foldable wings for extra drying space. They have a larger middle section, which is good for bigger items such as jeans and bedding, but overall have less drying space than tower models. The best clothes airer for you will vary depending on the space you have available at home, and the washing you tend to do. In terms of shape, here are the different styles available and the best uses for each: Tiered

Ideal for smaller homes and flats, the OurHouse Over Bath Airer is the perfect space–saving solution for indoor drying. Designed to allow you to dry your garments over the bath, with multiple drying positions, this versatile airer boasts up to 7.5m of drying space and a maximum load capacity of 15kg. 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. We paid for every airer and drying pod we test, and don't accept free samples, so you can have complete confidence in our recommendations. Drying speed 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.

Digitally Controlled Thermostat

But do heated airers use a lot of electricity? Our tests found they use significantly less of it to dry clothes when compared with drying pods. Heated bar clothes airers use (as the name suggests) heated bars to dry clothes, with each one acting like a mini radiator.

We took each airer's capacity into account to also calculate the cost of drying a large cotton load.

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. All heated airers are stable enough to hold a full load of washing, but some were more flexible and easy to topple than our top recommendations. Ease of use Hanging corners: These are a great addition to provide extra space for items to dry – some airers can hold up to four items on each corner.

Heated clothes airers we tested typically took between four to six hours to dry a small (2.15kg) cotton load. Making the most out of available space, our Extendable Ceiling-Mounted Clothes Airer offers a contemporary twist on a classic design. It has the all the design features of a traditional ‘laundry maid’ clothes rail but is made from sleek modern materials – with five extending aluminium rails and smooth beechwood ends. There are two main types of heated clothes airer: heated bar clothes airers and drying pods. Both work very differently. Collapsible size: Let’s face it, clothes airers aren’t good looking. Most people want a clothes airer they can stash away in storage when they’re not in use. Pay attention to the collapsible size of the clothes airer you’re considering so that you know you can fit it inside a cupboard or under a bed.Over-door and over-radiator: These clothes airers do exactly what they say on the tin – hang over doors and radiators, making them perfect if you live somewhere with little floor space. They also harness the heat from your radiators, so they’re great at drying clothes in the winter. However, they have far less hanging space than free-standing clothes airers, despite being generally cheaper. The best heated airers cost as little as 6p per hour to run, while the most costly came in at around 32p an hour. Stability The Glmahaus airer also gives you the added convenience of a built-in countdown timer. Using the digital controller, you can easily set the timer between 1 and 9 hours, once the countdown is complete it will automatically turn the unit off. This is perfect for those who are busy and which to leave their laundry drying while out and about. Not to worry if you don’t require a timer as the unit can also be manually turned off and will operate on constant when the timer is left on ‘0’. Additional Capacity for Drying More Clothes We selected the heated airers and drying pods from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers. The Infinity Flex is made of steel and aluminum— designed to be used indoor and outdoor. Do not leave outdoors and keep dry.
