drysoonDeluxe 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer

I love this airer. I bought this after my dryer died and was waiting for my landlord to fix it. It is exactly as described and fits a lot on it (large capacity) while being sturdy. While being expensive, I do really recommend the cover as well as this massively expedited the drying quality. Easy to use and solid!

We're soon moving to a smaller house where space is limited, so I decided to buy this electric dryer, not only to save space, but to save on the electric bill, too. I'd seen that these have been highly recommended recently, so decided to take the plunge. I'm so pleased I did!I chose this particular model because it looked more sturdy than some of the others and offered lots of drying space. It's one of the best purchases I've made in a long time!Even though we haven't moved yet, we've already been using it, and it's brilliant. It takes a full wash load of clothes or towels, and a full set of bedding. For our king size bedding, we have to fold it, but even then, it still dries in good time.The ability to set how many hours you want the dryer on for and just leave it is so easy and worry-free. You can also delay when you want the dryer to come on, though I've had no need to use that option.It really is so easy to set up and put away, and is very sturdy once in place, and has several configurations, depending on how much washing you need to put on it. The only negative I can find is that the power cable could really do with being longer, which was a point made in the other reviews I read, so I was aware of the issue before I bought it.

I received the product slightly damaged, one of the main bars in the frame was bent, however it does not affect the performance.The dryer works pretty well, drying up the clothes much quicker than a regular drying horse. I advise buying the cloth cover (although quite pricey for what it is) as it helps with keeping the heath in and drying the clothes quicker. Also, if used in a smaller room, the drier warms up the space quite nicely.The product is pretty sturdy, however moving it around is quite difficult once packed with clothes. A set of wheels would be nice to make it easier to maneuver it.The washing capacity is similar to that of a 3 tier drying horse, however the low hight means hanging trousers or longer items is not ideal as they overlap with the racks/clothes placed beneath. Having said that, the height is probably similar, if slightly smaller than your regular drying horses.

So far I have been very happy with this. I bought it because of the Good Housekeeping recommendation and I haven't been disappointed. It is quite efficient at drying a large quantity of clothes. I have mine in a small utility room and I frequently run a dehumidifier at the same time this reduces the drying time substantially. I am on Octopus Agile tariff so in the early hours electricity is usually very cheap but only for a few hours. Just had to invest in a couple of timers. There is no assembly you just have to unfold it. There is a lot of hanging space and will take about three loads of the washing machine,(not turned it on because it was warm that week). Not sure what weight that is and the earlier loads had dried a bit, but no sign of bending. It folds up for storage but doesn't come with a case. If you buy the optional cover, that can be zipped up to use as a cover when folded. Not sure how long it takes to pay for itself over the savings from a tumble drier, but electric prices are only going to keep going up in the long run, especially as all new cars will be electric in the very near future. Apart from saving you money, you are helping the environment by using less electricity.

For some strange reason I actually find it fun to arrange clothes in this dryer and then switch it on and come back 7 or so hours later to find them dried out. Cottons clothes and sheets dry faster than thicker items. Sheets are best laid as flat as possible.It provides the dual benefit of drying clothes and also warming up the room. This is definitely useful in times when utility bills are so high.It has a drying timer which is easy to set and chimes before switching off.Would recommend also buying the cover that comes separately. This cuts down drying time by about a third. It isn't very sturdy but once in place it doesn't really need to be moved about. It is light so easy to move if needed. Haven't done a proper analysis of cost but seems significantly more cost efficient than running a radiator next to a traditional clothes horse.
