Just had a thought - this would really suit my sis as a Christmas present! Does anyone have one - what do you think of it?

If it's the one like a clothes horse with heated rails, I would say don't bother. We had one and returned it (with absolutely no problem). It only dried the parts of the washing that touched the rails, so we were forever moving them round. It wasn't worth keeping.

Ours works really well!

PinkSwimGoggles · 08/10/2016 19:51

it's great.
especially if you put it in a drafty place.
it dries 2 loads over night.

thenoisytimetravelstudent · 08/10/2016 19:56

My sis would love this, as she has no tumble dryer and drying clothes at this time of year is a pain. Esp when her oh doesn't like clothes horses sitting about the house!

It's fab.

ShowOfHands · 08/10/2016 19:58

We have the £15 Aldi one and it's a bloody miracle thing. Dries a 7kg load overnight. If you stick a sheet over the whole thing, it dries even faster.

LomboDePorco · 08/10/2016 19:58

Combined with a dehumidifier you can dry loads, really quickly. Not sure what I used to do before it....

Popskipiekin · 08/10/2016 19:59

We have one - am always amazed when people says it dries two loads as our experience has been far more like fanofjapan. Perhaps ours is also a bit defunct. But we have hung onto it as - if you spread stuff out enough, lay it flat etc - then things dry much more quickly than on one without the heat so we've found it helpful.

ShowOfHands · 08/10/2016 19:59

Yes to the dehumidifier trick.

PinkSwimGoggles · 08/10/2016 20:02

yes, only the rungs get warm and stuff there dries quicker, but if you put clothes on there evenly they dry fine. not quickly as in a couple of hours but def over night.

CremeBrulee · 08/10/2016 20:04

We have one and wouldn't be without in in the winter. We use a tumble drier for big bulky items like bedding & towels but the heated airer dries all our clothing.

idontlikealdi · 08/10/2016 20:09

I've got one we never bother plugging it in!

We have one - it's fab.

thenoisytimetravelstudent · 08/10/2016 20:12

Sorry I was trying to add a link to the one I'm looking at. I found it on Amazon but am worrying that the cost might reflect the quality?

We have the wall mounted one. It's useless. I wouldn't bother.

My Mum swears by using a dehumidifier, but just with a normal clothes-horse, not a heated one.

hp2 · 08/10/2016 20:15

I adore mine . Three under 3 and no tumble dryer. It's amazing!!!

Akire · 08/10/2016 20:15

I had one for years and also given as gifts. They are better at drying sheets towels if you cover the top do the heat is kept in. But you can also cover wet washing with sheet that works well too.

I live in flat no outside space so find they are great

No! Get the JML dry buddy from Argos. Never used it for sheets or towels though. Fab for shirts and the like though.

Blankiefan · 08/10/2016 20:51

I love mine - there's no way we'd manage without it

obviously we'd manage but with several clothes horses littering the place

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 09/10/2016 00:24

I covet the John Lewis one (two or three tier) that has a bit at the bottom for shoes . Imagine if your shoes get soaked , slip them onto the shoe drier and Bingo Grin

I have the Aldi £20 one, its very lightweight but okay, does the job.
Also got a standard airer in the small bedroom.

Davros · 09/10/2016 19:14

i like one with wings fir the space I have and I gather that, on the Lakeland one that shape, the wings are not heated!! My Robert Dyas one has stood me in good stead but I lost a clip so it won't stand up! That one linked to earlier looks good. The way I see it, I would drape the stuff somewhere and it might as well be heated

Ilikesweetpeas · 09/10/2016 19:18

I have the large Lakeland one with the cover and it's great, dries really well
