It’s that time of year again when drying clothes seems to take an eternity. Fortunately, it’s also coming up to Black Friday, and Argos has already dropped an early deal on one of the best heated clothes airers we’ve tested.
Over the weekend, I tried out Beldray’s heated clothes airer and found that it was easy to set up and able to get my clothes dry within a couple of hours. It’s not the most energy efficient – appliances expert Zoe Griffin found that most heated airers cost just 6p-8p an hour to run – but as someone without a tumble dryer, it’s a solid option, particularly if you’re trying not to put the heating on very often.
Now half price in Argos’s Black Friday sale, the appliance is great value for money. Below, I’ve rounded up everything you need to know. Plus, you can browse our experts’ other top picks this sales season, in our main Black Friday deals guide.

Beldray heated drying pod system: Was £50, now £25, Argos.co.uk
Dubbed the best budget heated clothes airer by our appliances reviewer, this model is now half price in Argos’s Black Friday sale. Plus, the retailer is promising that the price won’t drop any more ahead of Christmas.
But take note: what you’re buying is the heater unit and the cover that transforms a regular airer into a heated one, so you will need to have (or buy) a tiered airer that measures about 65cm x 55cm x 145cm for the system to work.
Our reviewer, Zoe Griffin, found that this product performed well during her tests, especially for the price. “I found shirts dried in a couple of hours,” she said, while “jeans were ready in less than four hours, with no damp patches”.
