A heated airer is an appliance most commonly used to dry laundry indoors, so it can come in particularly handy during the cold winter months. They usually resemble an average drying rack but work more efficiently by heating the bars, ensuring that your clothes dry faster. You can also invest in models that have a tent-like cover that traps heat to dry clothes that much faster.

She's been raving about her Lakeland heated airer, saying: "I rushed to buy this heated airer a few months ago as I work from home and wanted to save on my heating. I've set it up next to my desk, so it warms the room while drying my never-ending laundry pile - working mum life at its finest. I couldn't be happier and have noticed a difference in my energy bill.".
