 This heated clothes airer costs £79 at Wilko, which is where I purchased mine from. Owing to its popularity, it's currently sold out there, but luckily you can grab it at Argos for £75. The airer arrived promptly and was pretty easy to set up and get going. Unlike a heated clothes horse, this device requires clothes to be hung on hangers, which aren't included with it. It's recommended to use plastic hangers, but I've been using wooden ones with metal hooks and haven't experienced any issues so far. You simply pop your wet washing on hangers, hang it on the arms of the Dri){kind=link}
With the cost of living rising, many are looking for ways to lower their energy bills and get washing dry without resorting to turning on the pricey tumble dryer. The Mirror’s Courtney Pochin put a heated airer to the test to see if it could help
With household bills soaring, we’re all looking for savvy ways to save a little money wherever we can which might include making smart swaps in our home to avoid using energy-guzzling appliances.
As of October 1, the average price per kWh of electricity went up from 20p to 34p as a result of the energy price cap announced by Ofgem. This means tumble dryers, which were already one of the most expensive appliances in the home to run, just got even more expensive.
In a bid to try and resist switching on my tumble dryer, or cranking up the heating in order to dry wet washing near radiators, I decided to give a heated clothes airer a go to see if it would make a difference to my bills and my laundry – and honestly, it’s made my life so much easier.
Going into this, I was hoping to buy Dunelm’s popular heated clothes horse with wings which costs £40, but this and similar versions from B&M and Aldi had sold out at the time of purchase, so I opted instead for the next best thing I could find, which ended up being the JML DriBUDDI.
