BLACK+DECKER 63099 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer Aluminium, Cool Grey, 140cm x 73cm x 68cm

This is a nice little drying rack.Plenty of space, easily folded, not too heavy and easily built.Doesn't get overly hot too so you're not going to hurt yourself on it if it's up in a room! Also rooms the room up really lovely!

I needed a winter alternative to using the tumble dryer, we have a small home without space for an airer to be up for days. As a family of four we have a good amount of washing.The airer is large and can fit a while load on including towels, there's a nack to drying smaller items which I lay on the bottom row, I hang the large towels over the top to trap in the hot air. It's fairly sturdy but could be better, the rows are narrow but ok. I have it in a tight space so it can be difficult to get to every row. I pop it on around 9pm and it's mostly dry by 6:30am some items I hang on a door airer to finish off. It's not as cheap to run as I had hoped but cheaper than the tumble dryer, I wish it had a cover but can use a sheet. I'm glad I bought it.

It’s brilliant. Dries clothes over 2 days if you spin the washing. Ours is in the bathroom and we set it up when there is laundry. Keeps the room warm too. Laundry doesn’t have to be left on the line overnight because someone forgot to bring it in.

I’ve had this heated airer for a month now and I must say I’m really happy with it. I have a 10kg washer and the airer takes the load with ease. It’s light weight and easy to put up but the clips which hold the shelves up are a little flimsy so be careful with them. I also bought a cover for it and I must say it works a treat with it on. A full load with the cover on takes around 6-8hrs to dry and to run it costs around 6p per hour. I have this in my kitchen and when it’s on it also heats the room up as well! When it arrived it did have a few marks on which I noticed while unpacking but nothing major. All in all I think it’s a little expensive for what it is, £109 for the airer and £30 for the cover but that aside it does work a treat. I would definitely recommend getting the cover for it as it shortens the drying time and also covers it nicely when packed away.

Quick delivery and ultra quick drying. Its taller and narrower than the dry soon (I have had the latter for a year or so but it seems to be losing its power).I will keep this dryer up permanently as I have the space, I have at least one load of washing per day and Im conscious of the reviews which say the folding point are a weak point.I have ordered a smart plug to take advantage of cheaper electricity tariffs and I deliberately didn't order the wheels and cover as both are not great on the dry soon.I am using a superking sheet as a cover for this one, seems to work fine.

Until today I would have given this Airer 5 stars. I’ve had it for 1 month. I was impressed by the capacity, drying ability, cost-effectiveness & ease of storage once folded.Having read other reviews before buying I wasn’t surprised that it was lightweight and slightly flimsy in construction. As long as it was sturdy enough to take my washing and the racks heated well enough to dry them faster than a non heated Airer I was happy. It met my expectations for the first 4 weeks.A few reviewers had commented on the plastic hinge breaking. I assumed they had simply been too heavy handed when opening out the racks. So I was very careful when unfolding and folding the racks for storage, putting absolutely no pressure on them at all. And equally careful when putting clothes on the Airer to dry, placing them carefully and gently on the bars.Today I removed a 1/2 load of washing from the Airer which hadn’t even filled all the racks. When I came to folding it again for storage the middle rack didn’t seem to swivel as easily as it had previously. I didn’t try to force it in any way. I just looked to see where it may have caught.Imagine my surprise and disappointment to find that, despite my careful handling, one of the side hinges was not fully attached to the side bar. The plastic bolt holding the rack in place was completely loose, had broken away and simply slid out, exposing the wires.On closer inspection it seemed that part of the plastic bolt casing had slightly melted, causing the hinge to break apart.I don’t use a cover, so the heat from the bars should simply have been the normal drying heat, not an intensified heat from being enclosed.I now cannot use this Airer. I am genuinely sad about this as I thought I’d found a really great solution to drying clothes over the winter.Black & Decker is known brand with a good reputation. Because quite a lot of reviews are positive I thought maybe I’d received a rogue item from a faulty batch, so decided I’d try a replacement rather than a refund.There is nowhere at all on the Amazon site (that I can find) where I can request a replacement. It’s a refund or nothing. And having read some reviews with dreadful stories about their refund experience for this product this is really not the route I want to go. I need an alternative drying option now, not in several weeks as, if and when Evri ever turn up.Hopefully Amazon or Black & Decker will read this and resolve this quickly for me. I’ll come back and update this review once I have a resolution - or not. And if I do receive a replacement item I’ll review it after using so I can provide an informed review for others on whether my item was a rogue faulty one or this product in general should come with a “buyer beware” notice. Hopefully it will be the former.
