There’s never been a better time to invest in an energy-saving home appliance. If you’re looking for ways to dry your laundry without putting it in a tumble dryer, you need a heated clothes airer in your life.

While a tumble dryer can cost up to £1.55 an hour to operate (depending on the model), a heated airer is a far more energy-efficient way to dry your clothes, as it is likely to cost less than 40p an hour to run.

These nifty rails supercharge the speed at which your clothes dry indoors – and, unsurprisingly, it was near-impossible to get your hands on a heated airer during winter 2022 (trust us, we even had a stock tracker).

They also don’t come cheap, which is why we’ve always got an eye out for a discounted model. Thanks to Amazon, you can currently save nearly £50 on a Black+Decker heated airer that landed a spot in our round-up of the best.

If you’re in the market for one of these cost-busting appliances, keep reading for everything you need to know about Black+Decker’s heated airer.

This three-tier heated airer landed a spot in our review of the best, with our tester awarding it four stars out of five and dubbing it best for families. Owing to its capacious size, it can “handle a full washing-machine-load of clothes and more”.

“The rails are spaced out more than on other rail-based airer models, which makes arranging clothes fast and simple,” praised our writer. They added that there’s “no struggle to squeeze a top or a pair of trousers into the middle rail”.

It’s powered by a 300W motor, and our tester found drying times to be “respectable”. Even better, you don’t have to wait for it to heat up, “as it can reach full power in less than a minute”. Despite its size, it’s easy to move around, thanks to the lightweight aluminium frame. All in all, this should seriously speed up drying times.
