Doing the chores is a headache as it is, let alone waiting for your freshly laundered clothes to dry, especially when you desperately want to wear a specific item. What’s worse is when you leave your clothes out to dry indoors the room feels damp and humid, it can take an eternity to dry in the winter, and your clothes can be left with a musky smell, which is not what anyone wants. Those of you, like me, do not have a tumble dryer, your washer/dryer combo is on the blink, or you live in a flat, which means you can’t dry your clothes outside, and there’s not enough space on your radiator to dry your load, a heated airer is a must-have.

Aldi has heard my cries for a drying solution for my flat in the winter months, as it has two Heated Airers to shop, one upright design and a winged version. The Ambiano Heated Airer is an affordable alternative to a tumble dryer. It is a space-saving, energy-efficient and cost-effective prop to get your laundry to dry quicker indoors, especially during winter. The sturdy vertical design boasts 36 heated bars to hang your clothes on to dry.The design may be tall but it takes up little floor space, and can fold away in the summer and stored out of sight.

Aldi’s Ambiano Upright Heated Airer retails for £79, whereas the Winged Heated Airer is £34.99. While the price and space are obvious factors to consider when choosing between Aldi’s two heated airers, the number of bars is also key.  The Upright design boasts 36 heated bars, while the winged version has 18, so if you have a large family, or get through a lot of clothes the Upright design is the one to invest in.

I feel like I am always washing, and mainly because living with my boyfriend who plays football countless times in the week he needs his kit immediately. Plus, his workout gear isn’t something I want lingering in the wash basket for days on end either. While I can get through the washing, it’s drying it all that is the issue. So, I am adding this airer to my basket immediately. The Upright Heated Airer is an efficient way to dry clothes without clogging up the radiators, or overloading a clothes horse that will take three days to dry at best.

The Ambiano Heated Upright Airer is designed with convenience in mind. It features a foldable vertical structure that takes up minimal space in your home, perfect for those tight on floor space, as well as storage. When this airer is erect, it measures 147 x 73 x 70cm, providing ample space for drying a variety of garments on the 36 bars. When you want to pack it away it slims down to 15.5cm. It is a lightweight yet sturdy design, so rest assured you can hang sodden weighty towels, as well as chunky knitted jumpers on the airer without it toppling over. Plus, it weighs under 5kg, which makes it easy to manoeuvre around the home.

The Ambiano Heated Airer operates at 300 watts, providing a gentle and consistent heat to help dry your laundry quicker than traditional airers. This lower wattage makes this an energy efficient alternative to blasting the heating all day, as well as a cost effective option too. When it is up simply plug into the mains and switch the button on to let it work its magic. The bars will get hot, so be careful not to hold the bars when it is on, and keep it out of the reach of children’s wandering hands.
