BLACK+DECKER 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer with Cover & Wheels, 300W

Absolutely love this! I had been struggling with drying my washing during the winter months to the extent that I was reluctant to wash stuff as it would be all over the house and would dry crispy/hard. I had been reading about electric airers for quite a while but finally decided to take the plunge over christmas. I am sooo glad that I did! It is large, so you can't really hide it when it's in use (I fold it and hide it behind a curtain after use) but it dries my washing beautifully. I bought the cover as well as this seemed to be what users were advising and I can't get over how soft and pliable my washing is after it's dried! It certainly isn't a quick fix like an actual dryer but I can leave stuff overnight and it is usually dry by morning. Towels, clothes, jumpers - everything. One of my best purchases ever.

Really pleased with this airer. Lots of space to hang your clothes and quite sturdy. When using the heat setting with the cover it gets washing dry quickly. Was fairly easy to set up, but make sure you read the instructions for the cover. Easy to store and good length power cord.

The good - price with cover £142 works well shirts on a hangar dried without creasing other garments laid on the rungs all dried well.Sturdy & seems well built.Folds up nicely and easy to storeThe not so good.ON/Off switch no temperature control / no on off timer.Well built with the exception of the cover supports which ( a bit like an umbrella to hold the cover clear of the sides) see pics. They are bits of thin wire with plastic tips that constantly fall off but are needed to prevent the wires puncturing the cover. Really poor cheap design that doesn't fit together properly - minor but a 10p part and a rubbish design.Cover ( sold separately for £40 ) not any better than my daughter in law's modified duvet cover she uses for hers - so the cover is expensive for what it is.Overall though pleased with the product - only had it a week but hopefully with the Black & Decker name it should last - apart from the spindly cover supports that I will have to replace or modify

It seems to work very well it seems sturdier than it looks, the cover provided is a little fiddly to put together but works great I used super glue to attach the wire former rods that come with it because they seem to pull out of the plastic centre piece too easily and have had no problem with it since, once loaded up with clothes after I've washed them I put the wet clothes on the rack and zip up the cover, switch it on and shut the door up the clothes usually dry in about twenty four hours some heavier items of clothing need to be turned and put back on for a while longer one advantage of it is it warms the room up quite well, this time of year being very wet it's great to be able to dry clothes indoors, it doesn't seem to take up an aweful lot of space when in use, electricity consumption is quite good being only 500 watts. Doesn't cost the earth to run it, as it warms the room as well then I find that the radiator valve shuts down so saving money on heating that room when it's in use, I haven't worked out the savings on the heating bill yet but should imagine that it will offset the running costs of the clothes dryer, we will have to wait and see

Received and delivered with care. So far, this sturdy easy to use heated drier is doing the job. Not so sure about thin metal rods used for cover

Absolutely rubbish

Tiny plastic component broke and 2nd shelf has completely collapsed as a result. Might excuse this for a cheaper product but for £119 I’d expect better durability.Power switch also started having issues after a couple of weeks, has to be smashed hard to turn on

This was a hard product to rate. It does what it's supposed to for the most part but not in a very successful way. Some positives, it's heated and it distributes its heat well, it's fairly sturdy, enough at least to hold a decent sized load of clothes effectively, and it folds up pretty compactly. It's still quite large though so you may want to measure the space you think you'd store it. It's about the size of a large door when collapsed.It's biggest weakness is its really cheap construction. When you are collapsing it you have to turn the "shelves" in a particular direction and they don't all turn in the same direction. If you are careful and good at remembering which direction to turn them you'll probably be fine but I turned the middle shelf the wrong direction with barely any force and it snapped off where it was connected to the frame. I didn't feel any resistance when doing that, so the plastic is pretty weak. There are arrows on the plastic part of the frame that tell you which direction to turn them but they are really hard to see, just molded into the plastic (so the exact same color as the plastic they are molded into) and I didn't even notice them until looking at where it broke. Even after it snapped the thing still works, I just have to not put much weight on the middle shelf. Be careful in using it, it's pretty fragile.
