Recommend me an airer please?

Hawthorn

I need a stable airer, that is capable of holding the weight, won't fall apart in two weeks, and can hold a lot of washing.
This will get a lot of hammer......there are six of us.
I've bought two from argos, and they have fallen apart in a matter of weeks, so not very moneysaving :mad:
I don't mind paying the money, if it's going to last. It's got to be better than shelling out for a new one every month!
I can't use a ceiling one (ceilings too low for that)
Any ideas?

Don't say that! I have a Minky from Lakeland some time ago.

Yup. Minky was one of the ones I had.

I got the Minky Jumbo Chrome 3 tier airer from Costco about a year ago and it has been absolutely brilliant. We regularly dry 8 heavy jumpers and hang jeans from the plastic handles at the edges along with kingsize duvet covers with no problems at all.

No problems with collapse either

I have got two similar to this one . Have had them for around 15 years .
I think I actually got each them from one of the mail order catalogues you know when they give you £25 off your first order or similar. So they were effectively free and have lasted for ages. Three children terry nappies etc etc. They fit on the landing where there's lots of warm air rising. I can get a machine load on each but it dries quicker if I spread stuff out more.

I've seen similar in many major shops.

Edit to say the one posted above while I was typing looks very similar!

I've got an old style Addis airer that's been on the go for at least 15 years.... As well as a Minky that's lasted for a couple of years.

Lakeland normally have a range of airers

I like the look of the one that looks like an outside whirly, but you use it inside - it's also reduced and is less than £30 - anyone got any experience of using it?

I've got two from Argos can't remember which ones but they hold the most amount of washing (two sometimes three loads every day) I just looked to see how many metres each of them held. They were about 30 each but are lasting really well. I have jeans in the wash most days from someone or another & also hang king size bedding on them every week. HTH

I've got one of the Mrs Peggs Airers and are a little pricey but so worth the extra money as they are so durable and hard wearing

I've had it for 20 years and I inherited from my mum so it's been going strong for about 35 years now!!
