The Black and Decker 3-Tier Heated Airer is ideal for a convenient, easy-to-use and cost-effective solution to dry your washing. Although it’s not quite as small as it appears online – it stands 4ft 4in high – this is one of the best choices for a student’s bedroom or a small flat, since it collapses easily into a three-inch thick pallet that can be stowed under a bed or sofa. They come in all shapes and sizes, and once plugged in, their electric rails heat your washing, meaning your towels, sheets and clothes will be ready to be put away in no time.

They can also be made L-shaped, so that you can use the Minky against the wall and only hang clothes on one side of it - a nice touch.

Delicates were perfectly dry after even less, but shirts took around an hour and denim a little longer.

It’s effectively a fan on detachable tripod feet with a pole, at the top of which there are six spokes designed to hold up to 12 hangers of spin-dried or well-wrung damp clothing (up to 10kg).
