Dunelm has reduced its Heated Ladder Airer from £40 to £32, and shoppers describe the compact drying rack as ideal for winter use. The ladder-style airer, which features heated bars, is billed as particularly suited to university students or those with limited space for drying laundry.
A Compact Solution for Cooler Weather
As outdoor drying becomes less practical in colder, wetter conditions, the Dunelm airer offers an alternative to tumble dryers. According to Dunelm, the slimline aluminium design costs around two pence per hour to run and can hold up to 5kg of washing.
Shoppers have praised the airer's performance. One customer said: “Ideal for uni students and winter drying. Cheap to run and doesn't over heat.” Another added: “Compact enough to put out of the way, works well, a handy thing to have in the winter months.”
Shopper Feedback and Alternatives
A third reviewer commented: “Lightweight and efficient heater ideal when the central heating is turned off but towels remain damp. Costs very little to run and dries towels quickly. Good price for a really useful item.” One shopper noted the airer suits smaller loads, stating it is 'ideal for a few items' but that a larger model would be needed for bigger laundry loads.
For those seeking more capacity, the Dry:Soon 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer is available at Lakeland for £159.99, holding up to two loads and costing around six pence per hour to run. Vonhaus also offers a Heated Clothes Airer with Cover for £99.99, which shoppers say 'dries very efficiently.'
Another Dunelm customer concluded: “Excellent clothes dryer. Easy to to use and efficiently dries towels. Energy efficient. Great to dry towels after daily use. Cost effective and better than a tumble dryer.” The Heated Ladder Airer is available to buy from Dunelm.
