How much do clothes airers cost?

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

We selected the heated airers and drying pods from the most searched-for brands and popular UK retailers.As my eldest child had a lot of allergies, and was unwell frequently, it was just impossible to stay on top of the washing so a heated clothes airer made sense. In each of these cases I have left the airer running all evening, from 6pm – 11pm roughly. Turning it off before bed to leave it to continue naturally drying. I’ve got a washing machine that holds 8kg of washing. As it can complete a wash in 28 minutes it is really simple for me to run a small cycle and load up the airer.

I use a timer for mine, as it is an older model, but I also don't leave it on overnight (or any other device). Manufacturers don’t recommend leaving any electric heated products unattended but in practice, this is how most people use them. Most come with timers and thermostats to choose lower temperatures for longer drying periods. How much do heated air dryers cost to run? You absolutely can get by with a normal airer, if you need to, but if you have a little money to spare, and can afford a slight increase on your energy bills it feels well worth it to me. 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.We used a force gauge to determine how much force is needed to topple over each heated airer, as well as the flexibility of each airer's bars. I’ll be discussing a little more about my own thoughts on this heated airer alongside an idea of the cost of use per hour and how long it takes to actually dry clothes.

This airer has the most drying space of any on our best buy list, while also being one of the most sturdy tower airers we’ve seen. This makes it perfect for families who get through a lot of washing. The wheels on the base make it easy to move around if you need to, and it can be partially open if you’ve got less washing so that it doesn’t take up too much floor space. With an additional small laundry holder for delicates and extra space for hangers, you’ll never have too much washing for this Vileda airer. We recommend the electric heated clothes airers that best balance drying speed and running costs, and found four airers impressive enough to merit a Best Buy. The best heated clothes airers Obviously, the more bars on an airer, the more clothes you can hang up, but be careful not to overload them with heavy items, such as jeans and bulky jumpers, as they can collapse under the weight. Practical and popular with anyone looking for a clothes airer that doesn't take up any space, this wall-mounted design is 'compact and really tidy'. Guarantees: As mentioned before, finding a clothes airer with a good warranty is always beneficial because if and when it does break, you’re covered. Keep an eye out for this when purchasing an airer.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 also folds flat, for nifty storage. In lightweight aluminium, it’s light (5.5kg, to be precise) and easy to lug about. 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. It does, however, need quite a lot of room, so is best for those who have plenty of space in a spare bedroom, for example. Wet laundry on your radiators will act as a barrier between the heat your radiators give out and the rest of your home.
