BLACK+DECKER 63099 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer Aluminium, Cool Grey, 140cm x 73cm x 68cm

I’ve had this heated airer for a month now and I must say I’m really happy with it. I have a 10kg washer and the airer takes the load with ease. It’s light weight and easy to put up but the clips which hold the shelves up are a little flimsy so be careful with them. I also bought a cover for it and I must say it works a treat with it on. A full load with the cover on takes around 6-8hrs to dry and to run it costs around 6p per hour. I have this in my kitchen and when it’s on it also heats the room up as well! When it arrived it did have a few marks on which I noticed while unpacking but nothing major. All in all I think it’s a little expensive for what it is, £109 for the airer and £30 for the cover but that aside it does work a treat. I would definitely recommend getting the cover for it as it shortens the drying time and also covers it nicely when packed away.

Really impressed with the this airer, its sturdier than I expected, this is only the 2nd time Ive used it, first was bedding that had been outside and just needed finishing off, today tho the laundry is straight from the washing machine, so its a real test, it takes two full loads very impressive. One thing I do miss from my old non heated airer is the ability to hang shirts on hangers, im hoping the heated bars do not leave a crease in the middle. Good product tho would recommend it.

This isn't cheap, so I had to crunch the numbers. At the moment, on the electricity rate I'm on, this works out at 9.27p per hour. Less than half the price of running 1 radiator, and when we turn the heating on, 3 come on. So it's actually 6x cheaper for me. With the money I save from using this as opposed to turning the central heating on, it will take me 50 hours of run time to pay itself off. To address comments about its sturdiness, yes it may wobble slightly, and I mean slightly, but it is very light weight and I much prefer that than having a solid heavy metal thing. The prongs get so hot you can only keep your finger on them for like 5 seconds before you have to take them off. That is how hot it gets. But that is at the highest end. The temp doesn't remain consistently that hot. It does fluctuate a little. I've not worked out what causes that fluctuation. Whether it senses loads of clothes that are wet and gets hotter, or whether it's just the product performance itself. The best thing to do for me is to put clothes on and leave it going over night. The clothes may not be completely dry in the morning if you have a thick hoodie or something though. Love it! 8/10

Omg I love this. I tried it last night when it was too dark to hang anything outside. I used coat hangers and hung things in between the slats rather than drapping things over it, used a double duvet sheet to cover it and everything dried wonderfully and so quickly. I only used clothes, no towels or heavy jackets tried yet. Will be heavily using this through the winter months.

I am embarrassed that I am so late to the party on a heated airer, by the time I was looking so many of the top 10 were out of stock. This was number 4 in the list, the only downside being it didn't have a cover. So I bought it anyway and some Ripstop fabric, and made one anyway. I did use it with a fitter cover or duvet cover over it and that worked ok. The airer dried a dark load from straight out of the washing machine in about 5 hours, covered. The towel wash, was left out all night without turning it on, then dried in about 9 hours from being heated. I cannot fault this, I am not sure what people are expecting and have given poor reviews; previously the towels took 4 days to dry on a standard airer, and 9 hours on this. I have been recommending it everywhere, especially as it is significantly less to run than a tumble dryer. Think drying on a radiator without having to have clothes all over the house. The cover was trick because of the shape, but I kept it simple rather than try to make it go around all the corners.

Until today I would have given this Airer 5 stars. I’ve had it for 1 month. I was impressed by the capacity, drying ability, cost-effectiveness & ease of storage once folded. Having read other reviews before buying I wasn’t surprised that it was lightweight and slightly flimsy in construction. As long as it was sturdy enough to take my washing and the racks heated well enough to dry them faster than a non heated Airer I was happy. It met my expectations for the first 4 weeks. A few reviewers had commented on the plastic hinge breaking. I assumed they had simply been too heavy handed when opening out the racks. So I was very careful when unfolding and folding the racks for storage, putting absolutely no pressure on them at all. And equally careful when putting clothes on the Airer to dry, placing them carefully and gently on the bars. Today I removed a 1/2 load of washing from the Airer which hadn’t even filled all the racks. When I came to folding it again for storage the middle rack didn’t seem to swivel as easily as it had previously. I didn’t try to force it in any way. I just looked to see where it may have caught. Imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that, despite my careful handling, one of the side hinges was not fully attached to the side bar. The plastic bolt holding the rack in place was completely loose, had broken away and simply slid out, exposing the wires. On closer inspection it seemed that part of the plastic bolt casing had slightly melted, causing the hinge to break apart. I don’t use a cover, so the heat from the bars should simply have been the normal drying heat, not an intensified heat from being enclosed. I now cannot use this Airer. I am genuinely sad about this as I thought I’d found a really great solution to drying clothes over the winter. Black & Decker is known brand with a good reputation. Because quite a lot of reviews are positive I thought maybe I’d received a rogue item from a faulty batch, so decided I’d try a replacement rather than a refund. There is nowhere at all on the Amazon site (that I can find) where I can request a replacement. It’s a refund or nothing. And having read some reviews with dreadful stories about their refund experience for this product this is really not the route I want to go. I need an alternative drying option now, not in several weeks as, if and when Evri ever turn up. Hopefully Amazon or Black & Decker will read this and resolve this quickly for me. I’ll come back and update this review once I have a resolution - or not. And if I do receive a replacement item I’ll review it after using so I can provide an informed review for others on whether my item was a rogue faulty one or this product in general should come with a “buyer beware” notice. Hopefully it will be the former.

I struggle to use this! It does dry clothes quicker, but it is difficult to open it out and fold it back to store, the racks have to be lowered in a particular way, but there is no clear indication which is the correct way to do it. And as you move the frame around the clips holding the racks in place disengage. With the cover on you can only access the rail from one of the four sides. Also the rods that slot into the corners of the cover, pierce the fabric. So far I have had to covered two of ends of the rods with tape to make them less sharp! (I expect to have to do the other two rods soon). When storing with the cover on the ‘roof’ bit does not easily fall into place as shown in the instructions

We live in an extremely cold house and needed a solution to drying our clothes. Before we purchased this heated dryer our clothes could take up to a week and still feel damp. Now they are dry in a day. Many reviews say it dries in a few hours and helps heat the room it is in, and unfortunately i haven't found that but it has still made a massive difference to our wash pile and we can finally have warm dry clothes. I will say it is very nice to leave it on over night and have warm clothes to pop on in the morning before you go to work. Final thing to add, compared to a regular clothes rack it doesn't hold long items very well as all the metal rods lay flat. we have found if you fold the clothes and dry it an area at a time it works more efficiently :)

Tarda por lo menos 24hr para secar la ropa. Lo compre para la facilidad con pequeños y no es muy útil para eso…

UK Plug, and I’m in EU!!!

Séchoir chauffant pratique, pliable ne prend pas trop de place. Le linge sèche en 24 h. Pour les appartements petits et sans balcon c'est l'idéal. Le linge est impeccable.. Et peut chauffer les serviettes avant la douche... Par contre pas de roulettes dommage et pour la prise il faut un adapteur.

Bei niedrigen Temperaturen im Sommer eine gute Anschaffung,die auch noch energiesparender ist als die Heizung anzusehen damit die Wäsche trocknet.

Love tjis dryer as it is compact enough to put away but very good at drying
