Easylife Electric Clothes Dryer with Cover, Heated, Strong & Sturdy Indoor Electric Airer Clothes Dryer, Electric Clothes Drying Rack with Heated Rails for Eco-Friendly Laundry Drying​

OK so I am super mean. Why should the gas/electric companies have my well earned cash? I wanted an alternative to the tumble dryer for winter and am out at work during the day. As promised, my new laundry toy arrived yesterday - and I couldn't wait to use it.So far (alright I have only used it once!) it's looking like it might be a game changer.It's really easy to assemble - 1 minute max (although we haven't put the castors on it). It is quite large so be prepared to lose a bit of space. ****Update - I have used this many more times and I still find it effective. Works even better if you place the dryer near a sunny window during the day.The airer was loaded with washing* last night and a sheet draped over the top. Used the 4 hour timer (I can confirm it turned itself off after 4 hours). It was then left turned off overnight with clothes still on it in an unheated house. By morning, most of the washing was almost dry. A quick iron (no steam) this morning and everything was properly dry. As I am too mean to buy a cover, I am going to make a proper cover for the airer out of some old bedding - does it matter if the sides and top are different colours??Update - made the cover using old bedsheets and some velcro (can't be bothered with zip). Works brilliantly.Tips for using the airer:Do make sure you spin the clothes properly (where it is appropriate for the clothes). I used 1400 spin speed.Load the airer from bottom up as it can be tricky putting things underneath when you have a sleeve hanging on your head.Wash your clothes inside out and put them on the airer inside out to avoid potential marks, especially on black things/jeans.Make sure your clothes are straightened out before loading on the airer (also open up collars on shirts)Space out the clothes properly, if you overload it, the dryer will take ages!!!If you haven't bought the cover, put a sheet over the airer when it is turned on. It keeps the warm air in and makes the airer more effective.*I had a large wash load of adult sized clothing which included 6 polo shirts (with those thick collars), about 7 pairs of socks, a thick cotton jumper, couple of pyjama shorts and some assorted underwear, including bamboo shorts.

The Easylife Heated Airer with timer - XL size has revolutionized my laundry routine, making drying clothes indoors an absolute breeze. Its XL size provides ample space for multiple garments, ensuring efficiency and convenience. The robust build of this indoor dryer instills confidence in its durability, and its strength easily accommodates heavier items like towels and blankets.The inclusion of a timer is a game-changer, allowing me to set it and forget it. This feature not only adds a layer of convenience but also ensures energy efficiency. The heated airer dries clothes gently, preventing shrinkage and maintaining the integrity of fabrics. It's a lifesaver during the colder months when outdoor drying is challenging.Assembly is straightforward, and the unit is easily foldable for storage when not in use. The Easylife Heated Airer has become an indispensable part of my household, streamlining the laundry process and providing a reliable solution for year-round drying. If you're looking for a strong, sturdy, and efficient indoor dryer, this XL-sized marvel from Easylife is a must-have.

Works well, energy efficient, sturdy enough, fits one medium-large load, and I like that it's on wheels.However, frame not heated, which means that the top 'X' is not very useful for hanging, though I sometimes drape a sheet over it to dry, which works over time. Two timer options: 2hrs and 4hrs. This is annoying, as a load takes about 10-20hrs to dry, depending on materials/load. You have to keep going back to start a new cycle, and the control for this is not only tiny but located at the bottom of one of the frame poles instead of midway up or at the top. Small detail, but a couple hooks here and there on the outer edges would maximise hanging capacity.All in all, an expensive but of kit that does a good job, with room for improvements.

It does the job. I would question just how much can be put on it. I can get a full 8kg wash of small things on it, or a smaller wash of bigger things. I chose not to get the cover for it after reading reviews about condensation. So I use a big sheet to cover it whilst it's on, window slightly open for air and a wee dehumidifier (the wee box type). Works a treat. Takes between 4-6 hours to dry things, but significantly cheaper than a tumble dryer. Takes up a little space and is easy to move and fold down for storage. Definitely recommend.

Look good. Heated up quickly. Even empty it leans over on a very flat floor. Tightened up the screws only two a tiny bit loose. Put on a few dry towels to air and it falls over. You have to balance it very carefully. Finally after a few weeks of using it for very light loads the legs bent. Made of such thin material it simply can’t support its own weight let alone a few small towels

This dryer really works in 4 hours my washing was dry it’s a bit big for where I will use it but it’s a size I need folds away so easy and stores in a cupboard. Would recommend as the price is quite good for the size of it very happy with my purchase only slight drawback is it’s fiddly putting washing in between when fully opened but that’s a small thing.
