Thank you so very much. Such a great review. Appreciate the time it took to make the video. I noticed on another review on these sort of appliances that a fireman recommend us not to leave these sort of things running overnight, fire hazard. 🥰 Have a lovely safe Christmas 🎄🎁.
We've had for a while, At first with the cover, didn't find it much good. But then I miss placed the Cover so I used a Blanket and a Bath Towel. Suddenly clothes where drying in 2-3 hours. Found the Cover, still put a Towel on, Dries in 2 hours now. Its key to give the clothes an extra spin in the washer. No rigging needed. The Bath towel draws the moist air out and holds it. The towel when done (switch it off) gets chucked over the dryer with the sides folded over and it's dry within 1 hour. So give it a Try, Put your clothes on it, cover with Bath Towel, then the cover.
I’ve just got one of these. And it’s ok… the cover is pretty critical. The basic problem is physics. Hot air rises so warm air accumulates in the area above the heated rail under the cover, but the further your items are below the rails the less drying will occur. If you keep your house cool, then it will take an age to dry and you will need to regularly move items around to try to get them dry. In my house the ambient temp is around 16c. After 5 hours the air under the cover at the top was up to 23c however the bottom on my clothes ( about 6inch above the floor)were still at the ambient air temp of 16c. I have a plan though :-) I’ve just ordered a small low powered fan. I hope to clip it under the cover to push that warm air down and hopefully get the warmth more distributed. Will see how it works out :-)
@@asdfwerty3391 surprisingly well. The fan i got uses 3w on low which seems good enough to force the warm air down ( assuming.you have the blue cover on)
Well explained review Claire and good to know not to leave cover on when it’s off for the smell😬also can I just say how nice your hair looked in this made you look about 10 years younger showed off your glowing skin😊(I’m a hairdresser, so no matter whether it’s a haul, a review or a cleaning video I always notice the hair first and foremost )😂have a good week..
I drape a sheet over mine and seems to dry quicker, mine didn't come with a cover either, small items I lay flat and seems to do the trick , I have a dehumidifier which I just place next to airer which surprisingly only uses about 130 watts power so still saving on power not using the dryer.
Hi Claire I've had my heated airer about 2yrs now if you lay thing flat it's okish but if you hang them pretty crap ..I'm not a fan and hardly use it now ...I've since got q dry buddy we do try these things but not always on to a winner ..I hang blouses tops delicates on dry bubby so they don't damage or screw up in tumble dryer 🤪 that's doing its job ..hope you get on with yours thanks for sharing see you soon x ..Jo ♥️👍⚘⚘🌹
Hi Joanna , I must admit I am enjoying mine . I am working with what works best and I’d rather have it than not, especially for clothes that can’t go in the dryer anyway. I haven’t got any grumbles with it so far. ♥️
I had one of those airers from Lakeland did'nt find it as easy to use or dry as effectively as a dehumidifier unit, which you just leave next to a clothes horse. Plus takes up less room.
I’ve had one of these Aldi ones for years now. It’s only really useful if you can lay clothing flat so maybe you need to get a pair of jeans dry for the weekend with a day to spare and you don’t want to use the tumble dryer etc. I also use it to dry smalls quickly. Glad I bought it but not sure I’d invest again.
Interesting review. I would like to use a heated air but I could only put it in the middle of my lounge really as when extended it wouldn’t fit anywhere else. Would prefer a taller one that takes up less floor space but don’t want to spend too much and not sure how effective the drying would be. Will be thinking about it.
Thats it isn't it Julia? if you haven't got the space it can be difficult. Maybe you might be able to find an upright one on eBay cheaper like pre owned?? xx
I use this to dry my delicates on , ie woollens, uniform, etc and for woollens it’s about 5 hours the uniform takes slightly longer with it being different material. I am still super happy with it, xx
Those box dehumidifiers won't absorb that amount of moisture. I have a large electric dehumidifier I set up next to my clothes when they dry. It can pull litres of water from the air.
Hmmm I don’t like that you have to rearrange the clothes. Surely the idea of the cover is to hold the heat in and dry the entirety of the clothes, instead of holding in the moisture. It’s defo a design fault.
Hi Claire I was waiting for your review on airer. Cus I haven’t heard of one good review on this . Ino you will say if it’s rubbish cus there saying load of rubbish .don’t buy xx also cord is to short. Clothes only half dry pain in the bum xx
@@PollyPutThePetalOn thank you , love your channel, down to earth no nonsense straight to the point which I love , I'm also a brit , I'm from Scotland 🏴 x
Morning Claire - I love mine but it didn't come with a cover as I bought it from B&Q - will invest in a cover if it works better with one. Great honest review :) Take Care Rach x
The reviews in general on them seem to be around 50-50, good and bad but for the price, £39.99, it's probably worth a punt so I'll definitely be seeing about getting one. I definitely wouldn't pay any more than that for one though, and there are some on Amazon near that price but others are in the hundreds of pounds, which is ridiculous. Thanks for your review.
I totally agree with all that you've said. I wouldn't pay over the odds either, this seems to be right for me and I am happy with it. Its particularly good for things that you cannot tumble dry ie my daughters cabin crew uniform. Thank you for your comment 😊
Glad it was helpful Yvonne, that was my intention. This wasn't gifted or anything as Aldi don't give their things away, I just wanted to do it to help anyone that may be thinking of one. 💖
@@PollyPutThePetalOn I knew you bought it Claire, unfortunately we don’t have Aldi, I will source one from Argos or someplace, I think they are selling out fast as are air fryers. People are trying to make savings where they can….thanks again for being so very helpful xx
Hi, I’m really not sure about dunelm and because this one came with the cover I doubt aldi would sell them separately. Minky do sell covers but you’d have to check your measurements . Sorry I couldn’t be of much help.
I hv one them but didn't get the cover them in willko I seen a women said that not cheap the said makes it out to be I am sure said they don't leave it on all night
I wouldn't leave mine on all night either, that's why it sweat under the cover when I switched it off before going to bed Fay. I think theyre good but perhaps because I am using one with a cover. 💖
Thank you for the review... we call the forgotten washing that's gone smelly .... Tangy haha always end up rewashing and I rewash with a splash of whizz from home bargains( fake dettol clothes antibacterial liquid)
If you buy antibac liquid from Aldi (can't remember the brand) and use it instead of fabric conditioner you can dry clothes much more slowly without them smelling. The 'damp' smell is mildew building up, so if you stop that happening you can save buying a heated airer like this and also reduce the chance of excess moisture causing damp on the walls of your house
It definitely gives off heat but I don't think it is enough to keep an entire room warm. I have quite a large living room so it wouldn't mine. When you go by it though you can feel the warmth. I have to say that I am enjoying having it, its especially good for all the items that need to be air dried ie jumpers, my daughters uniform etc. Hope this helps Nisha xx
I NO SOME ONE WHOES GOT ONE THEIRS WAS FROM DUNELM ITS GOOD THAT IT WORKS FOR YOU . ALSO I SOPOSE IT WILL BE MUCH CHEAPER THAN THE NORMAL DRYER AN YOU HAVE RECOMMENDED IT 👍👍
Worth the effort in my opinion , what I find it especially good for is delicates that cannot be tumble dried etc. dry in a jiffy but thank you for your comment .
