With the days drawing in (and the temperatures taking a dip) I've been reminded of the juggling required to dry larger items, such as towels, bedding and other linens.Trying to find a dryer / drying rack that was suitable for larger items (sheets, duvet covers, etc) was a bit of a challenge, without resorting to something that resembled a Mechano kit.This dryer from Leifheit was the first to come up in my search, and I'll admit that I've been really quite impressed with it so far.There's no assembly required, with just a case of removing the simple packaging and folding it out, ready for use.The first time of setting up was the only worry, as there's no single `fixed' position for the legs.

DIMENSIONS:Height - 87 cm with wings folded; 105 cm with wings unfoldedWidth - 55 cmLength - 95 cm with both wings folded; 157 cm with both wings unfoldedRoom on lines - 15 mCan be folded up when not in use.This is a well designed bit of kit - simple to use with intuitive, handy features.I live in a very small flat, so the first thing I noticed was its size. It's big - very big! Larger than my computer desk, in fact. So it takes up a lot of room but it also stores a lot of washing. Previously I had to wash one load at a time because I could only fit so much on my old clothes horse. And shirts would end up hung from the frame of my shower door! So while this unit is big,

Out with the old, in with the new.I have limited radiator space for drying laundry in the winter months and so I have been using a cheap collapsible clothes frame to dry and air my laundry.The Leifheit is not rocket science but it is the best airer / dryer I have ever seen or used.It is extremely well made, I mean really solid and oozes quality and style.You start from the folded position which is 9cm thick and means you can hide it away easily.To unfold you pull out the two legs which click into position and leaves the drier free standing at waist height.Two more wings unfold and click into place as per the pictures.Your drier is assembled in 20 seconds tops.The centre lines slide,

It's been hissing down for the past 10 days so there is no way that the laundry could be hung outside to dry and with illness in the house the washing was piling up - action had to be taken.When we received this airer/dryer it was heavier than I thought it would be (heavier than our old one). The previous one (which had been my Mother's) was thin metal frame with nylon covered wires - this one has a more solid feel.It has metal legs and metal long bars, the ends are a thick plastic-type material (as are fold out ends). It is impossible to tell if the joints are all plastic or metal disks inside plastic but they seem to be quite strong.The drying lines, which are moveable/adjustable,

The design of this clothes rack means that items are separate from each other rather than resting against each other as they do in a traditional concertina style rack. This means that things dry much more quickly, and I'm finding I'm using the tumble dryer considerably less than I used to. There's loads of space on it - I'm easily able to spread out a big load, or can get two medium loads on with still enough room for the items to air. There are also little clips along one side that will hold socks or underwear.The frame is well built and folds down very neatly to a size that's easy to store. On opening, though, it is pretty huge - and this is its one drawback for me.

I didn't really think that I could write a ravingly enthusiastic review about a clothes dryer, but I am happy to have been surprised by this one.A HUGE package arrived at my door and I wondered what on earth it was. Opening it, I realised that it was this very clothes dryer. Definitely a step up from my previous IKEA-bought clothes drying racks (now aged and tilting to one side, with wonky folding mechanisms and a hint of rust). This one is very solidly put together - though not heavy. It boasts a seriously space-efficient design, with a huge number of rungs to hang things from. It clicks into place with a solid, trust-worthy 'clunk' and certainly won't accidental collapse under the weight of your wet clothing.

How do you start a review about a clothes horse?.... How about... GOOD!This is a really nice clothes horse, the legs come down and click into place with a satisfying feel, the fastenings and horizontal wires spacing being changeable is great, you can put blankets over as easily as a long shirt.The feet also have plastic footings to give a grip on tiled floors like ours, so it doesn't skid about.So, glowing review, so why have I knocked a star off?.. Well, the latching legs extending is hardened plastic and I doubt how long they'll last, also the horizontal wire spacers are plastic as well, so again how long will they last? They feel robust,

This clothes horse has had a lot of thought put into the design. The only slight problem is unfolding it; although it's very light, the long legs become difficult to manipulate if you're small. They lock into standing position without needing much strength, though.It stands about 30" tall, which gives floor clearance for things to hang, with two flap on each end for longer or bulkier items. There's a red plastic attachment which clips onto the frame which serves as a holder for socks and small bits and pieces - very useful.If you live somewhere where space is at a premium, this is ideal. It folds up flat,

This is a very handy indoor clothes dryer, which is light to carry, folds up to be stored away and will easily sit on a balcony or even stand in the bath, if you are short of space. It says the dryer will take 1-2 lots of washing. Obviously, that depends on how many people are in your family - there are five in my household and it held one lot of washing comfortably. You can vary where you place the bars, depending on the size/thickness of the item, and it has two fold out sides which are flexible - this is handy if you want to dry trousers or a skirt, as you can lift it slightly and allow them to dry straight. One side of the dryer also has two sets of red clips, in which you can hang socks and other small items.

It's a clothes airer, and that isnt the most exciting product, but I'vehad a few airers overthe years and if you need one, you also needit to work properly.This looks quite sturdy, and I like the "tabletop"format better than thr gate fold type where everything hangs down over the stuff below, so a good start there. Opening it up feels uncomfortable though, the legs dont want to come out and you have to force them a bit. Maybe theres a knack. Once up its easy toLoad thanks to the sliding bars which mean you can thread things thru then move the bars along. The little red plastic clip thing alongone side certainly grips undies and small items,

For the long winter nights I suppose there are only 2 alternatives, a tumble drier or an indoor clothes airer and with the cost of energy the indoor clothes airer seems to be the cheaper alternative and there does not appear to be anything to fault with this airer from Leifheit.It easily hold the amount of washing that my 30 foot outdoor clothes line can take, it is lightweight and easy to put up, folds quite flat for easy storage, it is very stable and has adjustable "rungs" in the middle part for thicker items, stand quite a way of the floor so that the washing does not droop onto the floor, especially as the two ends are raised to help with longer items and finally there is a nifty set of

I never thought a clothes dryer could be exciting, but this is pretty much the nearest thing to one that there is : it has a large footprint (roughly the same size as a bathtub), but on the other hand, had plenty of coverage with several adjustable drying bars which is absolutely ideal for large and small items, as well as two fold out bars with several strips within and some handy extra attachments for socks etc. It does the job well, and efficiently. About the only thing I would change would be the two legs - with rubberised feet - would also contain bars to hang even more items from. That said, it folds out quickly and adjustable, and is very durable, so ideal for most uses.

I have been really impressed with this item. It may seem a little pricey but it's clear that you get what you pay for. My previous supermarket effort collapsed easily under a full load, but this dryer is strong and well made. It is adjustable for different size items and the clips for socks etc is a great idea. It's not too big and so can fit easily into a bedroom or even in the bath if space is limited. It also feels secure enough to be able to be used outdoors (weather permitting!). So if you want a great quality dryer that will last, and are a bit hesitant about paying this price - don't hesitate - it is a top quality item that should last for years.

I have purchased many other brand "concertina" type clothes airers that never lasted very long (including the very expensive ones) and didn't hold "smalls" very well. I was therefore looking for something that was more robust and adaptable that would meet my needs.The Leifheit has adjustable bars that you can hang items on, and also has grippers that you can slot smaller items into, such as socks, underwear etc. It also folds up and takes up very little space.All in all, an excellent quality product that is versatile and would be as at home in a bedsit/flat as it would be in a family home. - So glad I now have this dryer!

This is a great clothes airer. Easy to open and close, though I didn't realise at first that the legs clicked open to make it completely sturdy, it felt very wobbly and was a bit of a leap of faith to push it that extra bit further but now it's as solid as can be and I can even pop it in the bath if I want it out of the way. It doesn't fit perfectly in there but well enough to make do.It is very long when completely open so you want to check the measurements and make sure it's what you want but tucks away neatly when folded. I'm very pleased with it so far and get the feeling it will be around for many years to come.
