BLACK+DECKER BXAR0002GB Extendable Compact Clothes Airer, Cool Grey, 7.5M Drying Space

Product Information

That said, many heated clothes airers have safety mechanisms built in, operating on timers with auto switch-off features. per cycle for a tumble dryer – so they’re a cheaper option than turning your heating on to do the same job.

The well-thought-out design also means it copes the best of all the drying racks we've tested with airing longer items like trousers, towels, and even bedsheets. They provide room for airflow like regular clothes airers or clothes horses except with a bit of extra heat to speed the process up. It folds away neatly for easy storage, while its flat design offers versatility and can hold ample washing. As the washing must go on hangers, it’s not ideal for bedding, and its energy consumption was higher than others, at 23 pence for an hour. They come in all shapes and sizes, and once plugged in, their electric rails will heat your washing, meaning your towels, sheets and clothes are ready to be put away in no time.

This deluxe version also comes with several attachments (that can be bought separately or as part of a bundle) including detachable castors that mean you can wheel the airer around for loading or unloading, or easily move it out of the way if guests arrive. It takes up a lot of space when its wings are out and its temperature fluctuated a tad, but this didn’t impact its performance or its energy consumption, using an impressively low eight pence an hour on test. Each tier opens independently so you can configure the airer for drying anything from larger bed sheets to rows of socks, t-shirts and trousers.

When it came to drying our laundry, it dealt with bedding in under two hours, but unfortunately, it didn’t eliminate creases entirely.It’s designed with 8 specially adapted aluminium tubes that heat up quickly and cool down slowly which will help to aid in reducing your energy costs.
