Lakeland shoppers have branded a heated airer available exclusively from the retailer a "game changer" as they rush to snap it up as a cheaper alternative to using a tumble dryer.
The Dry:Soon Deluxe 3-Tier Heated Airer, which comes equipped with a timer, promises to dry laundry "much more quickly" than an unheated airer, and holds up to 15kg of washing with 21 metres of drying space. The airer requires a significant upfront cost with price tag of £199.99, but costs just 10p per hour to run - and it could even help to cut down on your heating bills.
A review of the product by the Manchester Evening News found that the airer also worked to heat up the room it was placed in, meaning that it may save you from having to turn the radiator on when in use if you set it up in a room you spend a lot of time in. Alternatively, a cover is also available to buy for the airer for £44.99 which traps the heat in and helps to speed up the drying time for your clothes.
