'I tried a portable clothes airer and here's exactly how long it took to dry a thick jumper'

The Aerative clothes airer first appears to be a small, funny looking contraption - but the device is set to be the next moneysaving product shoppers will want to purchase. With it's simple set up and uncostly usage, it's a win-win for those looking to reduce energy costs and be more economical.

When reading the product description you quickly realise it is the perfect gadget for not only saving money but for those who travel and need that extra helping hand getting clothes dry and fast.

With its patented, air duct design to dry clothes and shoes by ejecting hot air and an alloy wire heating mechanism as well as a UV lamp that eliminates 99.9% of potentially harmful bacteria, Aerative is ideal for drying clothes and shoes on the go.

Whether that be staying at a hotel, if a sudden rain pour hits on the morning commute or even for washing and drying away from home.

I thought, what better way to test it on my new chunky Boohoo Hooded Red Jumper - it's thick and would need a little while to see results..... but I was so suprisingly quick.

You just rotate the handles outwards to hang the item, turn it on and hang appropriately.

Immediately I saw the results and, not only was it drying quickly, it is relatively quiet. I just hung my jumper on the back of my living room door while I worked and watched the transformation.

It's a handy size too, the Aerative will also be a great alternative for those who love the outdoors too- instead of putting the heating on to dry the odd clothes and shoe hauls from a day in the rain, the airer can do it's work for you.

A great function with this product is the timer. If you have somewhere to be the following day and just need that one item ready, set the timer (a maximum of 8 hours) and head to bed and in the morning your items are good to go. The little pegs to attach to the hanger design are great too- it dries underwear in no time!

It's now £75 on Amazon, but a little birdy told us it is going to be reduced for Amazon Prime Day next week so keep your eyes peeled.

You will be able to pick it up for just £69.50 in the day of sales.
