~Heated Airer

cazarol

I have just seen a heated airer which claims to cost less than 5p an hour to run. I have a tumble dryer but dont really use it, I find clothes shrink and dont like the feel of the too dry it creates. The heated airer is in a Lakeland catalogue which has been delivered. There is 21m of drying space and costs £79.99.
I just wondered if anyone has any experience of these type of things for drying clothes. Thanks in advance for any help

There's a few posts about them and they seem to be really good. Some in this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/83653 and I think there's some on the Preparing for Winter one. HTH a bit

Google DriBuddi and have a look at that one. It's really good and has the added bonus as it is drying of warming the room and also giving a lovely fresh laundry smell too.

Can I be honest and say I don't think heated driers are that good.
I've tried a few over the years.
I get my washing dry indoors nowadays using a dehumidifier.
This has three benefits it dries the clothes (usually overnight,even towels),it stops any condensation and warms the room.
Its also cheap to run,as cheap as the heated driers are.

Thanks for the quick replies. Just having a look at the dribuddi, which model do you have? and also like the thought of the dehumidifier, which type do you use?
Am thinking either of them could go in the conservatory out of the way and not cause a lot of steam/damp etc
