THE Range shoppers are rushing to buy ‘must-have’ gadgets to make airers work more effectively without the need for a radiator.
This bargain retailer sells heated airer covers that make a big difference when it comes to drying your clothes faster.
It works by creating pockets of warm air to dry clothes without turning on the radiator.
There are quite a few heated air covers on the market, but The Range sells one of the cheapest available at the moment.
The bargain store describes the £7.99 three-tier cover as a way to “save time and money when drying your laundry”.
The range cover measures 75cm x 142cm, so if you’re trying to get a cover for a hot air dryer you’ve already purchased, you’ll need to check the dimensions.
Shoppers are praising the heater airer cover on social media.
One Facebook user said: “I absolutely have to get this.”
Another wrote: “This is amazing!”
Meanwhile, a third user added: “This is very good and cost effective.”
Heater airers are a very effective way to lower your energy bills and are much cheaper than tumble dryers. Not to mention, it adds a little extra heat to your home.
Just plug it in and it will gently heat and dry your clothes without having to turn on the heating. Some claim his operating rates are as low as 8p per hour.
But many people don’t know that a heated airer cover can trap the heat produced by the airer, further reducing the drying time of your clothes.
A heating airer without a cover risks allowing heat to escape into the room where the clothes are being dried.
It’s not bad for keeping your house warm, but it’s not the best option if you want to dry your clothes quickly.
Other options include Very’s heated airer cover (priced at £17).
There is also the option of purchasing a heated airer with a cover.
The Argos Minky Wing Heated Clothing Air is priced at £60 each and comes with a cover.
Some people suggest placing a bed sheet over the hot air blower to help you try on clothes faster.
However, the bed sheets are obviously made to cover the bed and not a heated airer, so doing so could pose a fire hazard.
If you are looking for an air conditioner with heating, be sure to look for the best price. You can compare prices using tools like Google Shopping, Idealo, Price Spy, and Fakespot.
