Shamelessly posting to AIBU for traffic (sorry!)…
Ok, I know I’m very late to the party… but are heated airers actually any good?
We have got a combined washer / dryer but the dryer function takes hours and hours, and even then things feel a bit damp afterwards. No space for separate machines unfortunately. During the warmer months I was managing to get everything dry outside, but that’s no longer possible (cool and damp even on the days that it doesn’t rain here). I can’t dry things on the radiators as they all fairly inaccessible (behind furniture etc).
At the moment I’m giving everything an extra spin cycle in the washing machine, then hanging on airers, which does work, but in a very small house they are always in the way, so I’d like something that speeds up the process so I can put them away sooner. But having read various product descriptions / reviews etc it still sounds like things will take 5 hours + on a heated airer.
So, if you’ve got one, are they actually much good compared to a normal (non-heated) airer? Do they really save much time?
For AIBU:
- YABU - heated airers are a rubbish waste of money, don’t bother getting one.
- YANBU - heated airers are great, they dry things really quickly.
