UK Shoppers Grab Discounted Airers as Heated Racks Go on Sale

High energy bills are driving shoppers to discounted indoor drying gear this winter.

Overview

  • An Amazon-listed 4‑tier clothes airer has dropped to about £22.99 from £38.99, drawing strong interest alongside mixed reviews that praise capacity but flag missing parts and sturdiness issues.
  • Lakeland’s Dry‑Soon 3‑Tier Heated Airer is currently reduced to £199.99, with users citing running costs of roughly 8p per hour and noting it can warm the room during long drying sessions.
  • The Dry‑Soon model offers up to 15kg capacity over 21 metres of drying space, with add‑ons such as a fitted cover to speed drying and optional wheels, and a bundle deal listed by retailers.
  • Competing offers include Dunelm’s 3‑Tier Heated Airer at £76 from £95, John Lewis’s 3‑Tier Indoor Clothes Airer at £100, and Robert Dyas’s Addis Drying Pod cut to £48.99 from £74.99.
  • A widely shared low‑cost tactic places a standard airer in front of a radiator under a fitted sheet to trap warm air, with testers reporting some benefit and frequent advice to pair with a dehumidifier.
