Product Information

If it’s an iron or clothes steamer-free life you’re after, then this airer may appeal, as our washing was evenly dried with minimal creasing. The advantages are that, since it doesn’t use a lithium battery, you can pack it in your carry-on luggage. 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. One option is to drape your own sheet over the top of the airer – being careful not to cover it completely or you’ll encourage condensation – and that will speed up the process. It took 12 minutes to pre-heat, which is slightly longer than average, but that’s a minor niggle for an otherwise versatile and consistent performer.

While it’s not one to turn to for everyday laundry, testers found the innovative design easy to use from start to finish, making it a reliable gadget for one-garment drying. Because it’s vertical, I think it’s an efficient shape in terms of how much space it takes up (handy if you only have a small space) and more pleasing to the eye than more horizontal designs. It’s another dryer with an incredibly lightweight aluminium design – we were able to move it using just one hand – and it’s carpet-friendly too, with beam supports instead of separate, carpet-branding feet.which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 311908) for consumer credit and general insurance and a member of the Finance and Leasing Association.
