Dunelm has launched an early Black Friday sale, and one item drawing particular attention is the 2 Tier Heated Airer, now available at half price. The two-tier model, usually £75, is reduced to £37.50 and offers a practical way to dry clothes during winter.
The airer is made from sturdy aluminium, provides 13 metres of drying space, and can hold up to 10kg of washing. Running costs are estimated at approximately 6p an hour, calculated using the UK Price Guarantee July 2026 electricity rate of 26 pence per kWh.
Shopper reviews and feedback
On the Dunelm website, the airer has received over 320 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars. One shopper said: "What an airer. Such a handy size and does an excellent job of drying the clothes and it folds away so neatly."
Another fan commented: "Works perfectly. Great value for money. It gets very warm and dries the clothes thoroughly. I did not use a cover." A third added: "With everything costing so much these days I thought the chance of saving money on electricity was a good plan so I bought the heated airer. It felt like a gamble, but worth a try. I placed the washing on the airer in the evening and switched it on overnight. Well actually it was on a timer from four hours. The following afternoon I folded it and put it away. Brilliant."
Some shoppers, however, marked it down due to size limitations. One review reads: "Only practical for smaller items, useless for larger items such as duvet covers or large bath towels, so will need to purchase another airer for this purpose."
