Heated airer - another must-have!

Recommended Posts

I've got quite a few things from the Omlet 'must-have' suggestions (Turtle door mat, steam cleaner, Lumie alarm clock to name just three) - it's great to get recommendations on here from people who've tried things.

 

My new Lakeland heated airer arrived yesterday and I am just thrilled with it - and yes, I know it's a sign of middle age to get so excited about washing! I don't have a tumble drier because they use so much electricity, so I dry stuff over radiators or on a traditional airer - easier for me than some, because I live on my own, but it still means washing hanging around the house for days and big items take ages to dry.

 

I put this on last night and it dried a whole set of bedding overnight - the duvet cover was still slightly damp, but good enough to finish in the airing cupboard. This afternoon it's dried a load of undies in only a couple of hours, a pair of jeans is still damp but nearly dry, they normally take two days on the airer. Definitely recommended, I just wish I'd bought one last year, with that awful wet summer it would have been so useful.

I know! I was really sad earlier as I sent a text to my friend asking her the make of her iron as it looked really good!!!!!!! Who'd have thought I'd be asking about an iron as I hate ironing! Its amazing how you can get excited about something soooooooo unexciting!

I've had one for a few months now and its the best thing I've bought :dance: I've hardly used the tumble dryer (I tend to place towels over the top of the other stuff drying - like a cover and then finish the towels off for a couple of minutes in the tumble dryer just to soften them off).

 

We don't have radiators as we have underfloor heating so had been hanging clothes up in my very small utility room but I could only fit one wash on the lines. This heated airer easily takes two loads and drys them overnight so I just replace each day with the next loads. :D

Yay! for once I can say I am ahead of the game

 

I had one similar going back fifteen years or so, we were skint and bought it secondhand for £8, we loved it especially as we lived in a house with no heating! it lasted well over 5 years of almost daily use before it broke

I'm waiting for mine, the large one, it has been out of stock for the last few weeks but I have had an email , it will be here in the morning. I opted for the larger so i could stand it next to the wall on the landing and use half.( But that half would take all my washing. ) Also to save some money by not using the tumble dryer so much and thinking ahead for wet weeks in the summer......i hate having to put the dryer on in the summer.

:D I am so happy not to have washing hanging around for days. Putting a sheet/duvet cover over the top definitely improves performance, and if I've got room I lay things flat on the bottom racks rather than hanging them from the bars.
