As expected, the Great British weather is back to its old tricks, which means putting the washing out on the line is a real lottery. It could rain at any minute and we all want to avoid having to run out to get the washing in because it’s spitting.
Equally, with the current cost of living crisis and worry around energy bills, many homeowners are looking for ways to avoid using the tumble drier, a device which notoriously uses a lot of electricity.
If you’re doing several wash loads a day, that bill will soon rack up, with tumble dryers costing around 37.5p an hour to run. As a result, many people are opting for the cheaper-to-run heated airers, which cost around 13.7p an hour - more than half the price.
