In our tests, we found that a heated drying pod could dry wet washing – including thick garments like hoodies and jeans – in approximately three hours. That includes sourcing stylish yet affordable furniture – from the best sofa beds for combining style, comfort, and function, to the best artificial Christmas trees for a stress-free festive season – helping our readers to find the best mattress for their sleep style, and testing top-rated dehumidifiers and air purifiers to narrow down the best-in-class. Winged heated airers, like the Status Portable Heated Clothes Airer, are generally the cheapest heated airers available.
In fact, the platforms can be folded down on either side so that it takes up even less space if you only need to dry half a load. The airer takes a little longer than I expected but within a day to 24 hours (depending on how big the load is) I have lovely dry washing. This airer produces an impressive surface temperature of 45°-55° that will dry clothes with ease while being kinder to the fabric. This was for my daughter who has problem getting clothes dry as she works full time and she cannot be confident of our weather. 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.Ideal Home's digital editor, Rebecca Knight, says, 'I bought the Dry:Soon heated airer back in 2015 and it still works as well as it did when I bought it. Although it’s longer horizontally than the tiered airers we tested, there’s something quite refreshing about its diminutive height. The unit uses only 130W in power which offers an impressive surface temperature of 45-55 degrees perfect for being kinder and drying your clothes evenly and safely whilst saving costs. Heated clothes airers are cost-effective home appliances that not only speed up the drying time of your clothes but are also more affordable than a tumble dryer.
Assembly the Homefront airer couldn’t be easier – with no tools required simply unfold, clip the legs in place and you’re ready to go. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).
However, putting damp clothes over the rails without a cover could release moisture into the air, which may lead to a risk of damp.
Instead of folding clothes over rails, the heated drying pod has six poles at the top of the airer that you can hang coat hangers from. However, we'd recommend trying to use your heated airer in the largest room possible as your washing will release moisture as it dries, and more space means the air has more room to circulate which will speed up drying times further. The Homefront Deluxe Electric Clothes Airer is the perfect drying solution for rainy days and for those who are compromised for space or simply don't have a tumble dryer.
Not only is a heated airer far kinder to your garments than tumble drying (it adds years to the lifespan of your clothes), it’s also better for the environment. Baby clothes, socks and pants dry particularly quickly, although for towels and jeans you will still need to move them around and leave it on for at least the maximum nine hours the timer allows.
If you’re looking for a pocket-friendly and quick way to dry your clothes, a heated clothes airer is worth it. On assembly, it became clear that both fan-powered models were very similar in design, although in general, we found the Dry:Soon Drying Pod to be the more sturdy option, and the easiest to fit together. Either option makes tackling a pile of wet washing ten times easier and eliminates that dreaded ‘damp washing’ smell that can haunt colder laundry days.She’s now Ecommerce Editor at Ideal Home, offering expert advice on the best products for decorating your home and ensuring it functions smoothly.
