About this product
This heated airer dries your washing using gentle warmth so you're not waiting days for damp clothes to dry on their own. It's freestanding and portable, so you can set it up wherever you've got space, and the foldout legs mean it's quick to assemble and doesn't take over the room. There's plenty of capacity for bulky items and everyday laundry, and the included cover helps trap the heat in so everything dries evenly. It heats up in around three minutes and reaches up to 71C, so your laundry gets properly dry without hogging radiators or cluttering up living spaces.
There's a 1.4m power cable so you've got a bit of flexibility with where you put it, and the whole thing weighs just 2.5kg so moving it around is no trouble. It's made from plastic with a fabric cover, and it folds away neatly when you're done. Ideal for flat drying delicate items or anything you'd rather not tumble, and it comes with a one-year guarantee. Just a sensible, everyday way to dry clothes without waiting for good weather or sacrificing space.

Hello there.
The motor of the JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer is 850w and the average cost of usage is 25p per hour, however this is dependent on your energy provider costs and usage time

Hi Chris,
JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer 714/1247
This is designed to work best with plastic hangers, though metal hangers can also be used cautiously as long as clothes are not overloaded and metal parts are not touched during use. Metal hangers can also cause interference with the unit's wire.

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.

Hello,
