With the colder autumn weather on its way, and the cost of living crisis still soaring, many households will be looking for ways to avoid the added expense of using the tumble dryer.
As the tumble dryer is said to cost you around 37.5p an hour to run, it is understandable why using one to dry your laundry is no longer an option for many watching their energy bills. As a result of soaring energy bills, many have been switching to a heated clothes airer to dry their laundry - and it looks Aldi's own brand version is popular among shoppers.
The discounted grocer's Easy Home Heated Airer - priced at £39.99 - is officially available online once again and it has arrived perfectly in time for those looking to keep their electricity bills down.
Aldi's nifty home item comes complete with a three year guarantee, 20 bars that are ideal for drying bedding and towels and a fabric cover to speed up the drying process. Not to mention that its lightweight foldable design means you can store it away after each use easily.

The supermarket says of its popular clothes airer: "This Easy Home Heated Airer is great for those rainy days and colder months when the washing line is out of action. All 20 bars of the airer are heated for quality drying of clothes, towels and bedding. It's lightweight foldable design means that it can be stored away easily in-between uses."
And it looks like shoppers agree, with the home item receiving over a whopping 500 five star reviews from impressed shoppers who say it is "invaluable" during the colder weather.
"I've wanted one of these for a while so was pleased to find one at such a good price. Invaluable in cold and rainy weather", raved one shopper.
"I've has this plug in airer for about 3 months, this airer has been amazing! Lots of drying space. It heats up quickly and has my clothes dried quickly, also leaving no creases. Great for rainy days or if you do not have a washing line", commented a second.
"I had this quite a while now and it’s well worth the money, especially through the winter", praised a third.
"What a good idea. I am the tumble dryer less because this airer is a good size and the heat combined with the cover dries small items very fast, and larger items may take a little longer, but much faster than my usual airer. It folds flat when not in use so is easy to store, even though mine is always in use! It helps to heat the room too :-) Excellent value too when compared with similar items, with a 3 year guarantee offered", said a fourth lengthy review.
"This was better than expected. As long as you keep moving the items around, it dries quite quickly. Also, a lot cheaper to run than the tumble drier", raved a fifth.
