Heated clothes aired

[featheryfancy]

Hi everyone,
Not too sure if this is in the correct place so if not apologies.
I was looking for some opinions on heated clothes airers if anyone has one?
I'm moving to a house which only has space for a washer or a washer dryer. I already have separates and was just going to replace with a 2 in 1 until I saw these.
Does anyone have one and no dryer? Keeping the washer and just getting one of these would of course be great as would save me paying for new but am worried about drying towels ect in the winter and am a bit clueless about them.
Thanks for any responses

I'll watch what replies you get but generally reviews tend to be really good.

I have a Lakeland heated clothes airer and find it very useful. I also have a washer-dryer but I very rarely use the dryer function because you can usually only dry half a load at a time, and of course while it's drying stuff, you can't put any more laundry on to wash.

The heated clothes airer dries towels within a few hours if you drape them around and over the airer. Or you can fold them on its shelves but that takes longer.

Try to have the window open in the room where your airer is so the moisture can escape and not cause condensation or mould in your house.

Also, although many people like to cover their airer and drying clothes with a sheet to trap the heat and so speed up drying, I've found it can get very hot this way and I personally don't leave mine on and covered overnight or when I'm out. I do go out and leave it on when it's not covered by a sheet though.

Yes, not had a drier for ten years now. The heated aired really makes it easier in the winter.

I have the Lakeland one too and can't fault it. My mum bought it me when I was in uni so it's probably 6 or 7 years old now and still going strong. It will dry a load over night.

Thank you all for your responses, you've all really helped (and saved me a fair few quid not going for a washer/dryer)
I've had a look at the Lakeland and it looks great. I've ordered a reasonably cheap one from Amazon (£40) for now to make sure I get on with it and may replace with the Lakeland one later.
Thanks all again!

To get the best from your airer put a duvet cover or similar over the top to trap the heat in and reduce drying time. Hope you get on with it. Since I bought one my tumble dryer is virtually redundant.

Mine is a Lakeland one, it is rather wobbly and rickety, the plastic clips for holding the racks look as if they will snap off and I treat them very carefully.
Trying to cover it with a duvet cover or sheet is a bit of a palaver, it wobbles away as I try to get it over the top so paid out for a cover which is better, and I can still put things on top of the cover to dry.
To get stuff really dry you need to lay it on the shelves rather than hang it as you would expect, if you hang it you will get a dry strip where the rail has been and the rest will be damp.
I wouldn't buy another one but it does keep the room warm overnight in the winter.

I got one from mums friend who bought it for her son in a damp student flat. I had no interest because stuff dries pretty quick here.

Best thing in my house bar none. I'm not a rule follower so ram on 2 loads, with towels or sheets or maxi dresses on the outside, like you would make a fort for under the table. It goes about its business silently and 24 hours later, all dry. Stuff need less ironing too.

And it costs 87p a day. Not a clue where it came from though.

Forgot to add, see photo for unexpected consequence. Obviously this is a specialist interest but the cats now smell of fabric softener and are always slightly damp.
