Minky Sure Dri Heat Pod Pro with 3 Tier Airer Cover

Works well as long as you do not overload the aire

Basically it is an upright airer fabric cover and a fan heater. So you need your own standard upright airer. For washing that is not too thick, it takes 2 hours at normal heat setting to dry, although you need to rearrange the washing half way through, as it does not dry everything evenly . Will take longer for thicker items, so we put them on the radiators for first for a while just to give them a start. Otherwise it works well and not too big.Each 2 hours drying session costs about 40p, on the normal heat setting ( about 850 W)

Excellent air drier

I bought this clothes drier and it performed exceptionally well. Easy to set up and does not use too much electricity. It has a timer and three drying settings. It dried my closest within 3 hours.The price is also very competitive.

Very pleased with it

I wish I had bought this years ago. With a big family I had 2 x washing airers + laundry over doors & radiators in the winter, taking days to dry. This allows me to do a couple loads and it will be dry in 2-3 hours so I can put everything away. Thicker things and bedding take a bit of re-arranging. I think there is a way of changing the heat settings because I accidentally had it on a lower setting and it didn't dry as well - should be really hot under the cover. It warms a small room quite well too. I like that the unit goes under the cover so no bulky heater sitting next to the airer, with little space this was a must. Downsides: The cord is too short and inadvisable to use an extension cord. It is fairly noisy.

Cover smaller than advertised

I bought this product as I wanted to avoid musty smells from drying my washing indoors in winter. Before ordering, I measured my airer to ensure that the cover would fit. According to the measurements on the product page, it should have fit with a couple of centimeters to spare. However, when the cover arrived, it was significantly smaller than advertised (5-10 cm shorter in both width and depth), and it won't fit over my airer as there's little to no give in the fabric. I've run the heater a couple of times and was able to cover my airer with an old duvet cover. This was OK, but it did seem that a lot of heat was escaping. Using the heater with the duvet cover seems to work OK. 60 to 90 minutes on the eco setting is enough to help my washing dry marginally faster and keep my clothes from smelling. Because it's sort of doing what I want, I haven't returned it. However, I'm stuck with a useless, bulky cover that won't fit my airer, and wondering whether the dryer would be more effective if I could use it as designed. I read another review that noted the wrong measurements, but I thought I'd try it out anyway, since this was just one review out of many. Wish I'd listened!

Better than nothing

Fine. But not the miracle I was hoping for. Even with smaller loads clothes are still damp after several hours. The heater is quite loud and the lead is humorously short. Having said all that, I am glad to have it and is definitely a better solution than nothing at all.

Space saving

I like that this allows me to use our existing clothes airer, and the heater and cover will be easier to store than an airer with integrated heating, which is bulky and we don't have space for. Only used once so far, but got great results drying a set of double sheets in an evening rather than over a day without. This is going to very helpful in the colder months when drying outside will be limited

Fabulous drying

I had looked at various clothes rail dryers …. All a lot more expensive and with not such good reviews. Decided on this one as I already had a 3 tier “horse” ….. it’s a game changer!! Fabulous!! For those days when it’s raining but not cold so you don’t want your heating on this does the trick ! No more musty smelling clothes!! Friends are now buying on my recommendation!

Dries washing well

Glad I bought this Heat Pod Pro, it soon dried my washing. I already had the recommended airer so the cover fit well and was easy to put on. The timer has three settings then switches off automatically. Dries my washing in a few hours, thicker clothes will take a bit longer.
