Dry:Soon Heated Drying Pod Indoor Electric Clothes Airer

Honestly speaking, at first I was a little sceptical, had my reservations, but my dryer stopped working and the engineer had ordered the parts which were going to be a while, I needed an alternative nothing expensive and something easy to install infact no installation required, easy to assemble my 11 year old assembled it, some customers have stated the legs are flimsy but I’ve not had an issue as I’m forever pushing the thing in the corner with my feet it’s intact, it’s sturdy doesn’t lean towards one side, for a light weight product it’s pretty sturdy and stable. Excellent value for money, i have 2 young children one of which is a goal keeper and one can imagine how muddy their kit gets also needing the kit every other day I tend to use metal hangers which I ordered from Amazon I don’t advise plastic hangers, it’s a very good size sits in a neat corner as you’ll see in the photos even when it’s on it doesn’t take much room, not noisy at all, keeps my kitchen warm too! I tend to use it at night I manually turn the dial to full and leave it obviously checking in on it every so often I’ve not had to repeat the drying process if the clothes are hanged individually leaving space in between the clothes will dry in one go I also turn the clothes in between drying sometimes depending if the clothes are thick, I do an extra spin in the washer prior to placing them in the airer. I like it and the dryers been fixed but I’m so used to this now, also it makes ironing a lot more easier to do sometimes I may not even need to iron some clothes they come out crease free.

Purchase for daughter to use in dorm at university,, used it to make sure it done what it said on box, 100% did would recommend. Fits well, drys clothes well, tops, underwear, jeans, dresses, moves well & light easy to put together, unsure about energy costs was quick to dry. Store clothes on hangers.

We've only had this a short while and very impressed. We have an issue with our normal dryer which we prefer not to use for all clothing, so this has proved a godsend. PROS: - Simplicity of setup and storage though would love a bag to put all the parts in - Drying ability - it really is effective in quickly and efficiently drying all sorts of items - Saving on ironing - it does mean some items don't need ironing at all - Capacity - depending on the type of wash load this isn't actually too bad but then there are only 2 of us CONS (might be a little picky): - Some parts seem a little flimsy so I question the longevity, where the legs slot in and the hanging rails - I wished the hanging rails had some spaced notches to help guide hangars on with good spacing - Height, I wish it was taller as some items then need to be folded and can be a little damp in the creases. Another few feet and it would be prefect

A very good, useful item for drying clothes indoors. I usually dry around 6 or so items (eg t-shirts, bottoms etc) and it takes about a couple of hours. I think the descriptions say upto 12 items or so, but the more items you have, the longer it takes to dry. You’ll figure out how long items take/where to place them/how many at a time through trial and error. I would highly recommend this model. It’s the second time I’ve bought this model, as it was a great product first time around, it lasted 6 years…and could have gone on for more!! The reason for replacing is that a very strong gust of wind (via cross ventilation windows) knocked the airer down, which loosened the heating unit which was attached to the main pole. I wasn’t going to risk using the old heating unit and it could be a fire hazard now. Also with my original airer, I accidentally turned the timer dial a bit too much/wrong direction, which broke the dial, so be careful. However I was lucky enough to find a position for “on” (opposed to 15 mins/30 mins etc), so it could still be used.

I’ve used this a few times now. The second time I used it, the timer stopped counting down, ie the timer dial stopped where you set it. It still works on the manual on/off option. I only dry light stuff in there like t shirts, tea towels, pants, socks etc. For an example; 3 t shirts, couple of tea towels, 3 pairs boxer shorts, 4 pairs of socks a sweat top (wouldn’t think you could comfortably fit much more in) would take at least 2 hours to dry. Providing you turn the shirts upside down half way through. Haven’t attempted any heavy clothing like jeans yet. Not sure I will, would take a long time to dry I would think. Ok for light drying, but not perfect and not happy about the timer dial not working. On the plus side very easy to assemble. So would be simple to dismantle and put away in the small box it came in during the summer months. My main reason for the purchase was I was getting fed up of shrinking t shirts etc in my main tumble dryer, and have to admit it is perfect for that purpose. It does not shrink clothes. You still need to iron. But ironing is easier. *Update* 25th July 2023 I thought a quick update might be useful nearly 2 years on. I would now give this product 4 stars. I’m more happy with it now. I “usually” only use it a couple of times a week during the winter months, (October to April) However, it’s been getting plenty of use this summer with it being so rainy! It’s still going strong. It drys jeans relatively quickly, around about the 2 hour mark give or take. I’m now putting more items in than when I first bought it. It just takes longer to dry the more you put in. Example, pair of jeans, pair of jogging bottoms, a hoodie, sweat shirt, 3 tee shirts would take approximately 3 hours to dry. During drying, after say 2 hours or thereabouts if you take out clothes that are dry, (some will be) and just leave the wet or damp clothes in, it does speed up the overall drying process a little. The armpits of tops seem to be one of the last things to dry, I find. At current electricity rates it costs around 30p per hour to run. I use it in the bathroom. You will need to have a window or door open a bit to avoid any condensation. Even on real cold days the dryer warms the room up considerably, so leaving a window open a few hours while it’s in use isn’t a problem. I now find it that easy to dismantle and reassemble, I dismantle and store it in the box after every use. It literally takes around 3 mins to dismantle and around 3 minutes to reassemble. Some plastic/all wooden coat hangers are good to use with items like tee shirts, shirts, sweat shirts, jumpers, jackets, hoodies etc. However the heat generated by the dryer may cause some cheaper plastic coat hangers to go a bit floppy after a while. (Trial and error) I found these pegs/hooks (see below) really good for using on trousers, jeans, jogging bottoms, pants, boxers, socks and other items that don’t fit on coat hangers, really well made and solid.

I think my wife appreciated this Drying Pod, more than any jewellery that I've bought her! This has been one of our best buys from Amazon. We bought the first one back in 2020 and it lasted 6 solid years, until someone bumped into it and unhinged the base heater part, otherwise it would have kept on working. Will be ordering a new one, from the same model.

They sent me a used one! The box had no wrapping and had very clearly been opened and the pod itself was covered in dust and sticky marks. Absolutely appalling. It takes far longer to dry clothes than advertised. At least 3 hours for basic t-shirts and thick pyjama bottoms are closer to 4.5. The quality of the product feels very poor for the money paid and as others have mentioned the dial is very stiff to try and use.

I purchased this over the Easter weekend as our boiler packed up and needed something to arrive quickly to dry clothes not suitable for a tumble dryer. Wasn’t expecting much and chose it purely based on next day delivery, but it’s been an absolute life saver and something I’ll continue to use even when our heating is back up. It only takes a couple of minutes to put together and dismantle. I was worried about the legs being flimsy from other reviews, but they are fine and sturdy if you’re not heavy handed with them. It takes 1-2 hours to dry things like t-shirts and about 3 hours for thicker things like a shirt. I don’t overload it, no more than 7-8 hanging items at once and they dry smelling of fresh laundry. Highly recommend!
