Has anyone seen a UK equivalent of this kind of drying rack?

I will have a tall but deep and narrow cupboard to dry washing in when I move to my new house and this looks ideal.

However, it is also far from cheap and I also wonder if it works.

Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with such a device please? Many thanks.

A lot of Americans houses are forbidden from hanging laundry out to dry. That's undoubtedly the best way to dry things and I dry outside all year round unless it's really damp. My back up is an old fashioned ceiling airer on a pulley like this - it takes a whole load (minus shirts which I put on hangers in the bathroom) and in the heat of the high ceiling, everything dries overnight.

For those of you who use those heated airers, don't the clothes get stiff when they dry? Or does fab con stop that?

I tumble dry everything because I hate the crunchiness

I reckon it would be fine if used with a dehumidifier. I use one in my bedsit studio so I don't have clothes out taking ages to dry, little one off amazon.

Will you not be able to hang laundry outside? If you can have a long line rather than a rotary one it is amazing how quickly stuff dries.

I would have thought that the clothes would be far too close together in that cupboard for them to dry fast enough - they would end up with that musty smell. And so would the cupboard i expect.

You could rack out the top of the cupboard and put a dehumidifier in the bottom maybe, but that would probably use the same energy as a tumble drier.

But surely a miele drier won't use that much electricity to run a cycle?

I hang mine above/ by rads in winter and use the drier to finish off.

Another vote for the 40m MInky one linked to above - the King of airers! I prefer it to my heated one in fact.

I also have the huge tower airer (bought after a recommendation on here). I also have a concertina one for items like jeans/towels

demented I hang trousers on a hanger and put them in a doorway overnight, you can do this with towels too. I use the hangers that shops use, with two peg bits at either end.

Towels also go over the banister at the top of my stairs if I run out of room

Like these. When you buy clothes you are often allowed to take the hanger if you buy all your clothes from supermarkets like I do.

Ditto to the Lakeland heated airers. Brilliant.

I thought nearly all Yanks tumble dried everything anyway. That is, according to a sister who's lived there for over 30 years. She says they see drying on washing lines as a sign that you are either poverty stricken or deranged.
Though to be entirely fair she lives in Mass., where it's either too cold or too humid for most of the year to dry outside anyway.
