THREE-TIER DESIGN: The BLACK + DECKER Heater Airer boasts a three-tier design, providing you with ample space to dry multiple items simultaneously.

Testers found it simple to assemble and it was the fastest at drying on test, too – it heated up in four minutes and clothes dried within one and a half hours on average. Black and Decker heated airer The Black and Decker heated airer is a great size - drying a large load - it also makes the bedroom warm where it is situated and smells great.

The drawbacks are that it uses a 230V British plug and would be much less effective on a 110V American power supply if you’re travelling, and it is a little noisy (think hair dryer on low setting).Ideal for winter months instead of outdoor drying, and also for saving money amidst current rising energy costs.

It features 18 drying bars including 2 heated, fold-out wings, to cater for all kinds of clothing items. Another option for speeding the clothes-drying process is to run a portable dehumidifier in the same room. It may be an extra-large model, but this Minky airer is lightweight, making it easy and convenient to move around your home. It doesn’t get as warm as options higher up but it’s great for drying damp towels in spring and autumn when it’s not cold enough to turn on the radiator.

It can’t house a full load of washing but is handy is you have several garments or items you want to dry quickly. If you’ve been caught out in a storm and had to stuff your shoes full of old newspapers of kitchen towels to dry them, only to find them still slightly soggy the next day, this is for you.
