Shoppers can save £42 on a heated clothes airer, making it a well-timed purchase as the weather turns colder and wetter. The Spring and Spruce Speedi Dry Tower XL is available for £108, reduced from £149.99 at Yimbly - an online marketplace owned by the Daily Star's parent company, Reach Plc - when the code AUTUMN10 is applied at checkout.
Features and capacity
The Speedi Dry boasts 36 heated bars capable of reaching up to 70C, with an adjustable temperature control enabling shoppers to select anywhere between 30C and 70C. It offers space for up to 21.2 metres of laundry or 15kg of wet clothes, while the included heat-insulating cover helps retain warmth around garments to accelerate the drying process.
A timer can be programmed for between one and nine hours before the heater switches off automatically, making it especially convenient for leaving washing to dry overnight. Once laundry day is done, the lightweight airer folds down to a mere 11cm wide for neat storage behind a sofa, under a bed or inside a cupboard.
Alternative options
Another option is the Lakeland Tower Airer for £49.99 from Lakeland. This one is a three-tier tower for laundry drying, is said to be ideal for medium family wash loads and offers a 22 metre drying capacity across separate levels.
Dunelm has a 3 Tier Heated Airer for £95 too. It is said to cost approximately 4p per hour to run and offers a 20 metre drying space which is suitable for up to 15kg of washing.
Customer reviews
The Spring and Spruce Speedi Dry Tower XL has, however, received strong reviews. On Yimbly, one customer wrote: "Dries washing overnight. I'm very pleased with my airer. Although I've not used the electric yet, the size allows my washing to dry overnight."
Another added: "Fantastic heated airer, very well made and sturdy. The shelves heat up quickly, and can be independently used by slotting them onto the slim vertical bar, where they sit securely. One of the many other great features is that you can drop as many shelves down as you need and hang clothes on hangers on the top cross bar (which isn’t heated) and dry with the cover on, of course don’t exceed the specified weight limit of 15kg!"
Not everyone was entirely convinced, with one reviewer noting: "It's ok, but jeans and jumpers take two days with or without cover."
However, another satisfied customer countered: "Happy with purchase - is as described in the pictures/video. I like having control over temperature and time 'on', this was my main reason for buying this particular make, lightweight, folds away (although large as I bought the large one). The only thing on my wish list would be for it to have wheels."
The Spring and Spruce Speedi Dry Tower XL is available to purchase from Yimbly.
