Argos has reduced the price of its Minky Wing 12M Heated Clothes Airer with Cover, now available for £55. The appliance is said to cost less than 8p per hour to run, offering a cheaper alternative to tumble dryers, which cost around 37.5p per hour.
The airer provides 12 metres of drying space and can hold up to 16kg of washing. It features foldable wings to maximise space and includes a cover to retain heat and improve drying performance. When not in use, it can be folded flat for easy storage.
Shoppers have praised the airer for its energy efficiency and cost savings. One customer wrote: “With rising fuel bills I wanted to buy an airer to use instead of the tumble dryer. This one was a suitable style and the right size for me. The price was reasonable too. It folds up for storage and definitely saves money, it's brilliant.”
Another reviewer commented: “This really helps with drying clothes at a more cost effective way rather than using a tumble dryer.” A third added: “This has utterly saved the day… I was able to dry our clothes very efficiently using the cover provided overnight. The design is very robust and reliable.”
The Minky Wing Heated Clothes Airer has received five-star reviews online, with many customers highlighting the included cover as a bonus, as other heated airers often require an additional purchase. Argos warns that stock is limited.
