[Closed] Heated clothes dryers things

yeah, i have the Lakeland thing and it's wonderful. Has been a godsend over the winter months! So glad i bought it.

I did some reading on the "dri-budi" one, and most people gave it bad reviews, though read enough and you'll get that on everything.

Use a desk fan to waft air over your washing. At ~50W this must be more energy efficient than just making your clothes hot?

I used to have the Lakeland one too. Cant fault it.

Drying clothes in my old flat just used to make the whole place damp but the heated drier sorted all of that.

You may have just saved my marriage ! Mrs Weeksy wants a tumble drier in the garage along with my Ducati ! As you can imagine, that wasn't sitting well here.

You might wanna consider a de-humidifier as well - all that moisture has got to go somewhere.

Can't you just get a vented one and vent it through the wall? Or get a condenser one - any moisture from the air that it doesn't remove will quickly dissipate I would have thought, unless you have a very well sealed garage?

I'm sure both are technically possible yes.... However, it's not happening in any world I live in. She's getting a new 3 bed deatched house in the village she's dreamed of, she gets EVERY other room to do with what she wants.... I get the garage. Simple as that.

We use a dehumidifier in the back room, in front of window. This dries clothes and house really well (we had some minor damp when we moved in), especially when used intelligently (eg this weekend, clothes outside, today it is warm, so not on etc)

As Matt said.

Cool, will pick up a lakeland one later today.

Now, how to convince her that if £93 on the clothes dryer isn't rediculous, neither is £500 on some cheap ikea kitchen units to keep the garage nice and tidy...

Get a free kitchen off Gumtree for the garage. £500 on toys.

I had one and was suspicious of its ability to burn the house down, so I sold it. Why not go for a condensing tumble dryer? You'll get loads more in it, and the space that it takes up compared to what you are currently looking at isn't much different at all.

Clothes hoss, open window & a fan.

If your going down the tumble dryer route, I would recommend a gas one. Much cheaper than electric one to run.

I've got a Dri-Buddi thing. No room for a tumble dryer and just one or 2 people's clothes to dry. It's alright, does the job, takes about 2 hrs to dry a load. Can't get too passionate about it, cos it's you know, just a thing for dying clothes, like.

The Lakeland heated airers are great. And fairly gentle on the cycling kit.

Try and put it near a window to get rid of the moisture.

I've got two airers and a tumble dryer. The tumble dryer only gets used on towels, and generally kills sports kit. I guess you need plenty of options through the winter months.
