With winter closing in, drying clothes indoors is a must — and Dunelm’s range of heated airers, from compact ladders to four-tier dryers, promises to keep your laundry routine warm and efficient
Autumn is ebbing away, and the winter months are arriving soon. And only the very brave will hang their laundry outside at this time of year.
The rest of us will be drying their clothes inside, and by far the best tool for the job is a heated airer.
Dunelm has one of the biggest and best ranges of heated airers, and prices start at just £40. Here's a run-down of some of the highlights of Dunelm's huge range.
1. Heated Ladder Airer - £40


Ideal for small loads, or as a towel-drying rail, this heated ladder airer is wonderfully compact, and costs from 2p per hour to run.
Although it's small and easy to store away, it can hold up to 5kg of laundry - so it's more practical than you might think
2. Black and Decker Winged Heated Airer - £45


Dunelm's cheapest full-size heated airer might be all you need, and it's a bargain at £45. Thanks to the clever design of the main slats and the fold-out wings, it has 11.5 metres of drying space, and it can hold 10kg of laundry.
If you're adding this to your basket, also consider an airer cover, to speed up drying even more. This one is only £4 because it's in the 75% off clearance sale.
3. Clothes Dryer Pod - £55


If you're often in a hurry to get your clothes washed and dried, this is the tool for you. It's a pod, rather than a traditional airer, and it's designed to blast your clothes with hot air.
Beneath the included cover, your clothes will hang in the heat and you can have them ready in less than three hours.
These pods do cost a fair bit to run, but only over a short period of time. And it's still cheaper than running a tumble dryer.
4. Four-Tier Heated Airer - £165


In case you really wanted to push the boat out, this is Dunelm's most expensive heated airer. And it's exactly what you need if you're a busy household with lots of laundry on the go.
It has 40 bars to hang your clothes on, and a built-in timer and temperature control.
Weirdly, even at this price, you don't get a cover - and that's a really useful thing to have. Here's one that should fit, and it's £15.
