Lidl is bringing back its sell-out winter gadget for drying clothes without heating or a tumble dryer AGAIN
LIDL fans are desperate to get their hands on this house heating product that sells out every Christmas.
The popular bargain retailer has announced it’s bringing back a winter gadget that flies of the shelves.
On November 24 Lidl is offering the Addis 12m Wing Clothes Airer for £34.99 in store for Black Friday.
The original RRP was £45 so it’s been knocked down a tenner for the famous sale day.
Using a clothes airer can save hundreds on on your heating and saves you whacking on the costly tumble dryer.
Unlike traditional airers, the heated product is plugged in and warms up – drying your freshly washed clothes in no time.
The metal bars heat up individually but unlike expensive dryers this winter gadget cost just pennies to run per hour.
Brits are preparing themselves for another bitter winter with bills brining another set of chills.
Many households face a rise in energy bills by £149 annually, forcing some families to be low on cash this Christmas.
Thankfully this Addis heated airer costs only 7p an hour to run, which is a bargain compared to a tumble dryer which can cost up to 68p per cycle, according to uSwitch.
If you use the airer for an hour it works out around nine times as cheap depending on your tariff.
The fold-out wings allow it to be compact when not in use, so you can tuck it out of site when all your Christmas guests come round.
Each wing stretches out to carry 10kg of clothes with a total drying space of 12m.
On the Lidl website the gadget is described as “quick and easy to assemble” with a one year warranty.
It’s made from aluminum so is lightweight and easily transportable so you can dry clothes anywhere in the house.
The family-favourite retailer is releasing their sell-out product at the end of the month, just days before December.
To get your hands on a heated airer you’ll have to make your way to a store, as Lidl doesn’t sell online.
If you don’t manage to bag the bargain then there are other stores that sell similar items.
The Range sells a Freestanding Heated Electric Clothes Airer for £29.99 which also folds away when not in use.
You can also grab one on Amazon for £44.99 which is described as the ideal solution for drying and airing clothes and towels indoors.”
If you’re a fully fledged heated airer convert, you can even splash out on the Argos Minky Sure Dri Heat Pod Drying System.
This £90-wonder is 3-tier airer that comes with a cover to retain more heat, drying your clothes even faster.
5 ways to keep your house warm in winter
Property expert Joshua Houston shared his tips
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the outside cold to get into your home, this is because of small gaps that can let in air so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth as it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another area of your home where heat can be lost and can make your home feel chilly,” he continued. “You might notice on cold days, that your floor is not nice to walk on due to it freezing your feet.
“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have a carpet, this provides a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, loft space, crawlspaces and underneath floorboards.
“Loose-fill insulation is very good for this, and is a more affordable type of insulation, with a big bag being able to be picked up for around £30,” Joshua explained.
4. Keep your internal doors closed
“Household members often gather in one room in the evening, and this is usually either the kitchen or living room,” Joshua said.
“This means you only have to heat a small area of your home, and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and letterboxes, as they can let in cold air if they aren’t secure.
