Argos shoppers snap up heated clothes airer that 'saves a fortune on electricity'

Argos shoppers looking to save money and energy when doing the laundry have been heaping praise on a heated clothes airer that "saves a fortune on electricity."

While it may be spring, the unpredictable UK weather makes it difficult to know if you can leave your washing out to dry. Add on the cost of living crisis, and some households might still not be able to afford to use the tumble dryer as much.

Luckily, Argos is stocking the Argos Home 11.5m Heated Electric Indoor Clothes Airer which is said to dry your wet laundry at a fraction of the cost.

These nifty energy-saving home appliances saw a surge in demand last year, with many retailers selling out almost instantly. They can occasionally be rather pricey, with some models retailing anywhere up to over £200, though Argos' is a bit more budget-friendly at just £55.

The Argos Home 11.5m Heated Electric Indoor Clothes Airer has managed to rack up almost 1,000 five-star reviews from impressed shoppers on the retailer's website.

Some of its notable features include foldable wings for convenient storage and a drying capacity of 10kg, meaning you have a lot of space for a large load of laundry. The heated bars help to speed up the drying process by warming sections of the fabric that they come into contact with.

There is also a one-year guarantee with each purchase on the electric clothes airer, which means that shoppers are covered for any repairs or damages during that time period.

Impressed shoppers who have previously purchased the Argos Home 11.5m Heated Electric Indoor Clothes Airer have raved about how it is more efficient than using the tumble dryer.

One five-star reviewer wrote: "Excellent product does exactly what I bought it to save me a fortune on electricity."

Another said: "I bought electric airer recently and wish I had bought sooner. It costs little to run so I leave it next to hot radiator and apply cover over airer and it’s amazing how much clothing I can get dried indoors without using my tumble dryer."

A third happy shopper said: "Amazing dries clothes a treat no need to use tumble dryer in these expensive times. Delivery was super fast well done Argos."

A fourth added: "I bought this as I'd heard about them being economical. Well it has saved me using tumble drier a few times. Good for duvet covers, sheets and towels. Heats up quickly and usually sheets are dry in few hrs."

While one person wrote: "Got this so I could economise on gas and electric. Do my washing on evening, put clothes on dryer and switch it on in morning. By night time most of items are dry.Cheap to run, about 7pence an hour."

Shoppers can purchase the £55 Argos Home 11.5m Heated Electric Indoor Clothes Airer from the Argos website.
