A woman has tried out a heated airer in a bid to find out if it dries clothes more effectively than her tumble dryer - and she calls it a "game changer".
Recently shoppers have taken to the Mrs Hinch Facebook group to trade tips on drying clothes, and many users recommended getting a heated airer.
Courtney Pochin tested the money-saving device for the Mirror, to see if it's actually a worthwhile investment.
The lifestyle expert was initially hoping to buy Dunelm's popular heated clothes horse with wings, which costs £40, but this and similar versions from B&M and Aldi had sold out.
As a result, Courtney ended up getting the JML DriBUDDI which costs £79 at Wilko, although it's also available at Argos for £75.
She said that it was easy to set up and get going, but unlike a heated clothes horse, the device requires clothes to be hung on hangers which aren't included.
Courtney said: "My apartment is very cold without the heating on and it's been tough to get clothes dry on a regular clothes horse. Items have been staying wet for several days and often ending up smelling damp and unpleasant and needing to be washed all over again.
"But thankfully this doesn't seem to be the case with the heated airer."
Courtney explains how the device runs, saying: "You simply pop your wet washing on hangers, hang it on the arms of the DriBUDDI then zip the cover up over all the clothes, so it forms a pod shape. You then select your desired amount of drying time and set the timer on the bottom by turning the dial."
While she admits that there's not much space in her DriBUDDI compared to her tumble dryer, it is effective in quickly drying clothes and leaving them smelling fresh.
The DriBUDDI has a 1200W motor and under the new 34.04p/kWh
