Between laundry that takes ages to dry and power-hungry appliances, winter turns laundry day into a headache. A British retailer is promoting a ceiling-mounted pulley clothes airer that simply taps into your home’s warmth. More compact than a folding rack and far less energy-hungry than an electric tumble dryer, it aims for quick drying without taking over the living room. Price, installation, materials and family feedback: we put this £114.99 solution from The Range under the microscope.
A pulley clothes airer to tackle winter
No more soaring bills or laundry lingering for days. The Range is showcasing its ceiling pulley clothes airer, a smart £114.99 solution that blends practicality, energy savings and eco-friendliness. A credible alternative to energy-hungry tumble dryers, ideal for getting through the cold season without extra costs.
How does this clever system work?
The setup uses a ceiling-mounted pulley mechanism: you hang clothes on pine slats joined by powder-coated iron ends, then hoist the rack to free up floor space. No more folding airer in the middle of the living room, and the discreet design slips easily into most interiors.
A smarter choice for the planet and your wallet
With costs on the rise, this device harnesses your home’s ambient warmth to dry clothes: zero electricity, unlike conventional tumble dryers. The result: real savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
With an average drying time of around 3 hours, it holds its own against traditional machines—minus the energy hit.
Easy to install and suited to any home
Supplied with an illustrated installation kit, it fits both flat and sloped ceilings. Once in place, it stays unobtrusive while offering generous drying capacity. Perfect for small homes: you use the height, free up the floor, and the laundry dries without taking over your living space.
A hit with users
Early feedback highlights quick drying, a tiny footprint, the eco edge and a price seen as competitive. Households in small spaces report a real boost in comfort, especially during the cold months when drying outside is no longer an option.
No more agonising over a costly tumble dryer versus a pile of damp clothes: this hanging airer is shaping up as the practical, lasting solution.
