heated indoor airer

Any airer, especially heated, will just cause condensation and damp in your home. I have a powerful dehumidifier and use that in the laundry room. It's cheap to run and washing is bone dry in two hours!

I was just going to say the same Hetty58 I have a dehumidifier and it's brilliant, I just stand a clothes airer in front of it. It is really surprising even without clothes in front of it how much damp it takes from the air.

I have just bought a Lakeland heated airer. If you want one check out ebay first. I got a Lakeland drysoon refurbished one for £55 on ebay, around £100 cheaper than Lakeland itself.
Delivered within two days, so far I am very happy with it.

Does the drysoon take up much room, Cassiej?
I haven't got the space for much equipment.

When GS arrived nearly 11 years ago DiL bought a Lakeland dryer. It sits in the attached garage and is still going strong. Has never had a cover but places towels, sheets over the dryer to trap heat. The dryer when being used does warm the garage too.They have a lot of laundry and it seems to cope. I prefer my tumble dryer.

Ooopsadaisy, my mum age 95 still has a flatly although now she has a tumble dryer does not use it much at all.

I have just bought a Lakeland one, hopefully worth it! Wasn't cheap! We do have a tumble dryer but sadly my daughter favours clothes for the children with applique and transfers on and most wont tolerate tumble drying so we end up with dozens of damp items draped over radiators?

lord yes, this rack (known in our house as the Lakeland Rack of Paradise) has changed our lives (clearly they were pretty limited in the first place). Uses hardly any power and dries even towels quickly. Energy bills much reduced. Have bought one for each of my children as well (and not on commission from Lakeland!) www.lakeland.co.uk/25904/Dry:Soon-Mini-3-Tier-Heated-Airer?src=gfeed&gclid=CjwKCAjwkvWKBhB4EiwA-GHjFlN4SkdmHfgM1b5rK06f0WDzPHbBOjs0AgxCr7_8Akk55VioUkxxXxoCzJ0QAvD_BwE

FYI.. I have just got back from Costco
They had one made by Black and Decker and was about £99 +vat.
If you know of anyone with a card might be worth it?

I have the Lakeland one and it takes a day for things to dry. Much faster on the radiators.

I bought a cheap Aldi one last year and I've got to say I'm more than pleased with it. Certainly wouldn't be without it now

I have had a Lakeland heated airer for a number of years. I think it’s brilliant dries everything really well. I don’t have a cover but a sheet or duvet cover over the top does the job and helps dry things even quicker.
I bought one for each of my daughters when they got their own homes and they swear by them too.

I have the Lakeland one, absolutely love it, I’ve had mine around 8 years still going strong certainly wouldn’t be without it

I like the Lakeland one too. Often don't bother with the cover as others have said. It folds flat when not in use but I have it in the spare bedroom so don't bother.
Would love to have one of the pulley airers everyone had in my youth but DH claims that the utility room ceiling wouldn't stand it.?
Don't care for racks on radiators.

We live in apartment so no washing line. Have a tumble drier but don’t use it.
We have a Lakeland heated dryer (not one with a cover) we leave it in our spare bathroom overnight (without the heat on) and most things are dry enough to iron the following day. Doesn’t create any dampness as far as I can see.
I use it to dry sheets and towels, shirts etc. Used it for years. I only put the heat on if I want to dry something quickly or if something a bit thicker needs a little extra drying time. Brilliant.
