3 Tier Folding Winged Clothes Airer Indoor Outdoor Laundry Washing Drying Rack by Crystals®

Product Information

Heated clothes airers we tested typically took between four to six hours to dry a small (2.15kg) cotton load. Another concertina design, gated airers are even more simple than tiered airers. They pull out to create a long zigzag with spacious rungs. Thanks to their fuss-free design, gated airers are popular among students as they tend to be the cheapest option available and fold down to just a few centimetres wide, meaning they can easily be stored behind a bed or wardrobe. Winged Drying pods are essentially big hair dryers for clothes, using a fan and heating element to blow hot air through the clothes hanging inside a pod. We selected the heated airers and drying pods from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers. 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

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 They dry clothes faster than heated bar clothes airers, but typically have smaller capacities. You'll be able to hang dresses and jeans in them, but bedsheets and duvets are a no-go. With the additional (non-heated) extension bars you get extra drying capacity than with standard clothes airers, which can be a huge help when drying larger garments or for those busy homes that tend to have extra-large laundry loads! Inside the box, you will also find 2 sets of 6 detachable pegs to make hanging smaller garments easier. This unit can also be used even when only half open for those smaller laundry loads. Free Cover Included Gated: Aptly named, these airers resemble fences and fold out to stand in a concertina. These are normally the cheapest clothes airers and are popular with students because they’re functional and don’t take up much space in storage. However, this design hasn’t made it into our best buy roundup because they tend to be flimsy and unstable. Versatile in design, this airer features secure feet to provide a solid grip to your bath, and is guaranteed to fit all bath sizes so you never have to worry about the unit falling off while you’re out for the day. What’s more, it’s easy to set up and even folds flat for easy storage, further saving you that much needed storage space. Features and Benefits

Modern Digital Clothes Airer

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. While heated airers use less electricity per hour than a tumble dryer, they take longer to dry the clothes. So, if you're drying big loads regularly, it will cost you more to run a heated airer annually than a tumble dryer. These are great for those with no floor space to spare. Some have legs and long wings to make the most of the space above a standard UK bath, but you can also find smaller tent-style designs that attach to the rim of the bath instead. Tower Usually suitable for standing in the bathtub or on a balcony, they have two large fold-out wings that are perfect for hanging longer items such as towels, trousers and maxi dresses. Most winged models also have flat sections — either between the wings or between the leg rungs — that are great for drying delicates and smaller items. Due to their large wings, they tend to be quite tall even when folded down.

A typical drying pod will do a cotton load in a couple of hours, and a tumble dryer will take anywhere from one to three hours to do a big load of laundry. It's faster than air-drying indoors, but a heated clothes airer is still the slowest of the three. We dried a small cotton load on each airer, representing a week's worth of washing for a single person.We took each airer's capacity into account to also calculate the cost of drying a large cotton load.
