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

Fantastic bit of kit! Heats fairly quickly and masses of drying space. Far cheaper than the tumble dryer to run than the tumble dryer, and much better with the addition of a cover (I bought a cheaper version, and it does the job). I can put it away in the summer when I can dry stuff outdoors. Managed to get even a large duvet dry in 12 hours, bedding no problem, just drape the biggest item over the top and put the cover on, dry overnight. Best thing I bought last year - have had a year's service from it, before leaving this review. Wouldn't be without it now.

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.

I needed a winter alternative to using the tumble dryer, we have a small home without space for an airer to be up for days. As a family of four we have a good amount of washing. The airer is large and can fit a while load on including towels, there's a nack to drying smaller items which I lay on the bottom row, I hang the large towels over the top to trap in the hot air. It's fairly sturdy but could be better, the rows are narrow but ok. I have it in a tight space so it can be difficult to get to every row. I pop it on around 9pm and it's mostly dry by 6:30am some items I hang on a door airer to finish off. It's not as cheap to run as I had hoped but cheaper than the tumble dryer, I wish it had a cover but can use a sheet. I'm glad I bought it.

Very efficient and folds away nicely. Plenty of room for clothes.

Useful for use in the winter. Drape a large item such as a towel or sheet over the top to keep heat in. Find it quicker to lay items flat over the rungs as what is hanging down doesn't dry and need to adjust items after a while. Certainly saves the cost and time of drying at the launderette.

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

Does what it’s supposed to do very 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
