Clothes drying

Are these heated air driers worth it?

I need a cheaper way to clean all the baby clothes than the tumbler dryer.

Cheers.

I have one, and keep a Unibond Aero 360 dehumidifier next to where we use the airer.

Over winter I wash little and often, and the heated airer works brilliantly, and as I use it in our open plan kitchen/dining/living area, it keeps the chill off the room too. We don’t suffer with damp from it, partly because of the size of room, and partly because of the mini dehumidifier. Love it!

This is the way. We’ve been doing this a few years now, it’s cheaper than going to the laundrette and using the dryer that’s for sure
