Full details

The Rackhams Heated Electric Winged Clothes Airer is the ideal solution for households looking to dry laundry efficiently indoors, regardless of external weather conditions. Designed for those seeking a cost-effective alternative to high-energy tumble dryers, this extra-large unit offers 20 heated bars and foldable wings to handle diverse laundry loads. While it provides excellent, gentle warmth for delicate fabrics, users should note that drying time depends heavily on ambient humidity levels and how tightly the items are spaced across the bars.

When folded, it measures 960mm H x 540mm W x 54mm D.

Yes, the heat is gentle and evenly distributed, making it safer for delicate items than a high-heat tumble dryer.

Troubleshooting

Airer is not warming up.

Verify the power plug is fully inserted into the outlet and the timer dial has been correctly set to the 'On' position.

Laundry is taking too long to dry.

Ensure that clothes are not overcrowded on the bars, as airflow is necessary for moisture evaporation.

Unit feels unstable.

Check that all four feet are making even contact with the floor and that the support legs are fully extended and locked.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly cheaper to run than a standard tumble dryer
  • Gentle heat preserves fabric quality better than high-heat drying
  • Timer feature provides peace of mind for unattended operation
  • Compact folding design is perfect for small utility rooms or apartments
  • Extra-large 20-bar capacity handles family-sized loads effectively

Cons

  • Drying time is slower than a traditional tumble dryer
  • Large footprint when fully opened may require significant floor space
  • Requires manual spacing of items to ensure proper airflow

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the airer is straightforward: simply unclip the wings and lock them into position before plugging into a standard wall outlet. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent wobbling when loaded. Compatibility is universal as it uses standard power sockets; however, do not use in areas where the plug may get wet, such as directly inside a shower. For care, wipe down the silver-finished bars with a damp, soft cloth after the unit has fully cooled. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that might damage the surface finish. Always ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning and allow it to cool completely before folding it for storage.
