Much like a decent air fryer, an affordable heated clothes airer is like gold dust in 2023. Aldi’s have sold out in minutes every time they’ve been online or in store, with retailers like Wilko and Home Bargains also seeing them fly off the shelves.
The reason they’re so popular is because they’re faster than a regular, non-heated clothes airer, but much cheaper to run than the energy-guzzling tumble drier, effectively offering the best of both worlds.
At the current rates, the average heated clothes airer costs less than 8p an hour to run compared to 30p+ for the tumble drier, making them a cost effective alternative. Additionally, they often tend to warm up the room you put them in, meaning you can knock the thermostat down a notch or two, as well.
