Key features

  • 230W winged heated airer
  • 12m of drying space on a single plane
  • 16kg maximum load
  • Wings fold in for storage
  • Good for bedding, towels and flat-dry knitwear

Our verdict

Tiered airers are poor at big flat items - a double duvet cover draped over three tiers blocks the airflow to everything underneath it. The Minky winged airer solves that by laying everything out on one wide plane: 12 metres of drying space, a 16kg load limit and 230W of gentle heat. It is the airer to buy as a second unit alongside a 3-tier, or as your only one if you mostly dry bedding, towels and knitwear that should be dried flat. There is no cover and no timer. At 230W a six-hour run costs about 36p at 26.32p per kWh. The wings fold in to store it, but it is wide in use, so you need the floor space.

Pros

  • ✓Far better than a tiered airer for duvet covers and sheets
  • ✓Lower wattage than a 3-tier
  • ✓Dries knitwear flat without stretching it
  • ✓Inexpensive as a second airer

Cons

  • ✗Wide footprint when open
  • ✗Only 12m of drying space
  • ✗No cover or timer
  • ✗Not a substitute for a 3-tier on a big mixed load
