As autumn approaches, drying your clothes outside is a no go, which is why many of us invest in a heated airer to speed up the process, as opposed to using a tumble dryer. Over on the Lakeland website, this Dry:Soon Deluxe 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer was originally priced at £199.99 and has been reduced to £169.99.
According to the product description, it costs 8p per hour to run as opposed to 65p for a standard tumble dryer. It can hold approximately two wash loads with 21m of drying space, and has a built-in timer for added convenience.
With a top handle for easy movement, dimensions for the heated airer include 70 x 74 x 132.5cm. The timer function means you can set it from anywhere between 1-12 hours, after which it will switch off automatically so you don’t have to worry about doing it yourself if you’re out of the house.

According to Lakeland, customer feedback has been taken on board so that the heated airer is ‘more accessible at the front’. Its improved design makes it easier to hang clothes from the front without a bar getting in the way.
If you really want to dry sooner, Lakeland also recommends buying a custom cover to trap in the heat and speed up the process. The cover also doubles up as a handy storage cover to keep your airer tidy and dust-free when not in use.

In the Lakeland reviews, one shopper said: “Works very well, uses much less electricity than tumble driers. Gets the job done.”
A second review read: “I thought I would treat myself to this airer and I wasn’t disappointed. It holds so many clothes etc. It dries the clothes well and sadly they are soon ready for ironing! I would highly recommend this product!”
A third fan said: “With a young child in the house, this was a huge game changer in terms of getting clothes dry.”
It’s important to note that some reviewers weren’t as pleased with the length of the table. This was seen in a review which read: “The cable with the plug on is ridiculously short and may need an extension lead.”
