Your clothes airer recommendations please

[TheHouseofMirth]

I need to get a new clothes airer and was looking at this one but I'm not sure. £45 seems like a lot of money but I don't mind if it earns its keep. It doesn't say how many metres of drying there is and I can't see from the picture how it folds up. I'll use it indoors and in the garden in summer.

Have you got one of these or can you recommend a good large capacity airer?

Look, I know that posting about airers means I am tragically sad and possibly in more urgent need of a new life thanlaundry equipment but can someone help me anyway?!

Not sure if it will have enough space for you but I have 2 of these and love them.

TheHouseofMirth: I don't like the sort you linked to as things can't hang down without hitting stuff below.

I use something like this cross wing airer as well as a cheap very tall gate airer for sheet/duvet covers etc

I have something a bit like this but use it in the living room, as the bathroom has no window and stuff just doesnt dry very quickly.
Its big enough to dry sheets/bedding.

I saw an "antique" clothers horse on sale in a junk shop for £150 the other day. It was just like that shop "I Saw You Coming" on Harry Enfield.

I didn't buy it.

I have one of these which I love. Seems to fit lots of clothes, we use it outside with pegs on the clothes & it folds up flat ish.

We have one similar to this. It's absolutely wonderful and one of the best housework-y things I have!

I think Ikea do an airer which is very similar to the John Lewis one but is cheaper.

I have got this one which is good because it has 10m of drying space and it folds up into practically a stick taking up no space at all.

Also got this for over the bath (11m) and this for smalls, bras etc which is 2m, so thats 23m of line space, more than enough for our family, and I find the combo less intrusive than the towers and cross wings airers.

The Leifheit Mikado is cute, I use it with clothes pegs as it has actual line rather than coated metal wires.
