Great help!
I have been using this a month now and has been a tremendous help. I have been struggling to dry clothes during the winter but this takes only 2 hours to dry most clothes. Brilliant!

Excellent Product
Over many years, this is the third Dry Buddy we’ve had, and it is as good as ever. Compact and folds up when stored away, holds a lot of clothes when in use, and cheap to use and dry clothes. Excellent in every way, and at a reasonable price.

Excellent purchase very effective

Good but old style was better
I brought this after my original dribuddy broke. While it does make it a lot easier to dry clothes inside, it seems to take a lot longer than my old one and being tall and 9 months pregnant, it's not very easy to get items inside and to reach the dial at the bottom. Could definitely do with longer leg attatchments.

Hello Trev
JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer
Indoor Use Recommended
The DriBUDDI is designed as an indoor heated airer, so using it in a garage is fine as long as the garage is dry and has a power supply.
Avoid damp or exposed areas because moisture can damage the unit or create electrical hazards. [jmldirect.com]
Impact of Cold Temperature
In a cold garage, drying will take longer because the surrounding air is cooler and less able to absorb moisture.
The airer itself generates warm air (850W heating element), but the ambient temperature still affects efficiency. [idealhome.co.uk]
Tips for Better Performance
Use the cover that comes with the DriBUDDI to trap heat and speed up drying.
Ensure the garage is ventilated to prevent condensation.
If possible, add a small heater or dehumidifier to improve drying speed in very cold conditions. [idealhome.co.uk]
Safety
Place the airer on a stable, flat surface away from water sources.
Do not use outdoors or in areas where rain or heavy moisture can reach it.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi Jacky,

It would be personal preference if you feel the need to iron clothes after they have been dried.
The drying process of using this item is to ensure clothes are dried quickly and to minimise ironing.

Hi Kelly.

The Airer does not come with hangers.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Goolagon.
Re: JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer
The motor of the Dri Buddi Compact is 850w.
The current electricity rate in the UK is approximately £0.26 per kWh subject to your energy provider costs.
To calculate the cost, multiply the wattage (850 watts) by the rate (0.26 pence per kWh) and then by the usage time in hours.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello there

Hey Lynda,
I can advise that this compact heated airer has foldout legs, so those can be folded away when not in use.
