A popular heated clothes airer, praised for its low running costs, has been significantly discounted in a winter sale, offering households a budget-friendly way to dry laundry indoors.
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Tumble Dryers
The Spring and Spruce Speedi Dry Winged Heated Airer with Bonus Insulating Cover is now available for a fraction of its usual price. Originally priced at £69.99, it has been reduced to £49.69 on the Yimbly website. Savvy shoppers can slash the price further by applying the sitewide promotional code DECEMBER10, which takes an extra 10% off, bringing the final cost down to just £44.73.
This model presents a practical, year-round solution for drying clothes, bedsheets, and towels, regardless of the weather outside. It boasts over 12 metres of drying space across its winged design, providing ample room for a full load of washing.
How the Heated Airer Saves You Money
The standout feature is its remarkably low energy consumption. Based on Ofgem figures from July 2025, it costs approximately just 6p per hour to run. The unit is equipped with 18 extra-wide heated bars that can warm up to a maximum temperature of 70°C within minutes.
Users have full control, with the ability to adjust the temperature between 30°C and 70°C depending on how quickly they need their laundry to dry. For added safety and peace of mind, a built-in timer can be set for up to nine hours, after which the airer switches off automatically.
Capable of holding up to 15kg of wet laundry, it comes with an insulating cover designed to trap heat and accelerate drying times. When not in use, the entire unit folds away neatly for compact storage, as highlighted in reports.
Comparing the Market Alternatives
For those considering other options, the market offers a range of heated airers at different price points. Dunelm is currently selling a Black and Decker Winged Heated Airer for £31.50. This model provides 11.5 metres of drying space across 18 bars and can hold up to 10kg.
At the premium end, the Lakeland Dry:Soon 3-Tier Heated Clothes Airer is priced at £159.99. It offers a substantial 21 metres of space across three tiers, with capacity for around two full washing machine loads, and folds down to just 8cm deep for storage.
The Spring and Spruce airer has garnered positive initial feedback. One reviewer on Yimbly’s site described it as "good," noting that clothes took a while to dry but speculated the included cover would speed up the process. Yimbly as a retailer has also received favourable reviews on Trustpilot, with customers praising efficient delivery and good service, though some reported minor issues like damaged packaging.
