As much as we want to cling to the last of summer, it’s safe to say that Autumn has arrived with its tell-tale signs of fallen leaves and a stew in the slow cooker. That also means, though, that the trusty washing line is redundant for another six months at least - forcing homeowners to turn to the energy-eating tumble dryer.
Shoppers have been getting more savvy with their energy consumption as the dreaded October bills loom, swapping central heating for hooded blankets, and ovens for air fryers.
Another energy-saving swap Brits can make this winter is opting for a heated airer rather than the tumble dryer. In fact, Aldi’s popular affordable Easy Home Heated Airer costs less than 8p an hour to run, compared to 30p+, like most tumble dryers.
