This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Expect cotton, polyester shirts and sports kits to take around six hours to dry while jumpers and heavier fabrics will take around 10. I've found that all conditions staying the same, heated clothes airers do have very consistent drying speeds. You will definitely need to use the supplied cover and you should also shift the clothes around, so that the heated bars are in contact with new parts of the clothes every hour or so.

Unsurprisingly, the heated airers with hotter bars dry clothes faster, but cost more per hour to run. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed. You might find they get a bit bashed up with frequent use, which is a shame on a relatively expensive dryer. Heated airers are no exception, and increasing the amount of moisture in the air will increase the risk of condensation. The heated airer is kinder to clothes than a tumble dryer and quickly dries a full load of washing, with a drying capacity of 10kg and 11.However, putting damp clothes over the rails without a cover could release moisture into the air, which may lead to a risk of damp. The airer is practical, with the 3-tiers and swivel arms able to dry longer items such as trousers, dresses, towels or bedding.

It has 30 rails across the three tiers, as well as a cover that keeps heat in to dry clothes quicker.

If you’re after a savvy laundry drying solution that can be cheaper to run than a tumble dryer (or putting the heating on), and speedier than air drying, look no further than a heated clothes airer. It is made of 10% cotton and 90% polyester and measures at 143 x 70cm when the cover is placed over the airer. The airer can hold exactly the same amount of washing (15kg) as bigger models but within a smaller footprint, and it’s easier on the wallet. But this is still notably quicker than a traditional airer – for reference, our experts tested these dryers in summer and found a well-spun load of clothes on an unheated clothes airer took six and a half hours to dry.

Laura is also a freelance journalist and has written articles for publications including the Daily Mirror, the i, Metro, Stylist and Happiful magazine. It looks just like a hanger but the two ducts are easily expandable to hold up to four items or a pair of shoes. Testers found the airer easy to use overall and its instructions detailed, although it did collapse down when they tried moving it, meaning it’s best left in one place if you’ve got washing on it.The drawback is that the included cover doesn’t reduce in size, negating that space-saving feature, and its zips are very cheap and fiddly. That said, many heated clothes airers have safety mechanisms built in, operating on timers with auto switch-off features.
