Beldray 3-Tier Electric Heated Airer

Beldray's 3-tier is the cheapest way into a full-size 300W heated airer. The specification is competitive on the numbers that matter - 36 heated aluminium bars, 20 metres of drying space and a 30kg load limit, which is higher than the Dry:Soon and Black+Decker. There is no cover and no timer, and the frame is lighter-gauge than the premium models, so it flexes a little when loaded unevenly. If you are drying two or three loads a week and have somewhere ventilated to put it, that is an acceptable trade for the price. Running cost is the same 300W story: about 47p for a six-hour session at 26.32p per kWh. Beldray also sell a separate 1000W heated pod cover that fits most 3-tier airers if you later want faster drying - but note that it is a far higher-wattage accessory, so check the maths before assuming it is cheaper to run.
