Drying clothes during the chilly months can be a bit of a nightmare, often resulting in unsightly garments strewn all over radiators, which not only looks messy but also poses the risk of moisture issues like damp and condensation.
However, Debenhams has come to the rescue with a heated clothes airer that’s claimed to keep your washing off the radiators and is currently 60 percent off. It’s the Alivio Electric Heated Clothes Dryer, usually priced at £99.99, that is now just £39.99.
This savvy appliance boasts 20 efficient heating rods optimally positioned to ensure even drying of garments. It’s also a nifty space-saver, as it boasts a foldable design, making it perfect for stashing away when not in use.

It’s been suggested to be quite the energy saver – with the firm suggesting that it “significantly reduces energy consumption” when used. Since it reduces the need to leave wet laundry hanging up for a few days, it can also tackle smells of damp clothes around the house.
Multiple thrifty shoppers who have bagged the Alivio Heated Airer have been signing its praises, with comments saying that it is “cheap to run” and “folds away easily”.
One shopper praised: “Really good I can get my clothes dry without them being all over radiators.”
Another satisfied customer shared: “Bought as a Christmas Gift, was well received, so convenient and keeps washing off radiators. A good price, on sale”, reports the Mirror.
Yet another happy buyer remarked: “Got on sale for £40, it’s brilliant for drying clothes. Haven’t had to use the tumble dryer. Cheap to run on electric too.”
And a fourth pleased customer said: “I love this airer, great size and dries the washing really well, also folds up easily to store away.”
However, not everyone’s over the moon with their purchase, as one shopper pointed out some imperfections, noting: “Doesn’t fold down easily, no heat control. Priced at £44.99 it’s pretty average.”
