For a good six months of the year, hanging clothes outside to dry isn't really feasible.

Enter: Lakeland's Dry:Soon Drying Pod, which is not only more affordable than popular heated clothes airers, but is also vouched for by customers saying it's "much cheaper to run than a tumble dryer".

Currently on sale for Black Friday, it's down from £99.99 to £69.99.

By circulating hot air around your clothes, this heated airer dries garments efficiently and evenly, even reducing the need for ironing as it helps creases drop. Get it for less this Black Friday.

Here's why it's worth the investment, as one shopper says it's "the best drying device, ever".

Why we rate it

The Dry:Soon Drying Pod is a handy household item to help your laundry dry quickly, especially on rainy days.

It dries clothes quicker than leaving them to air-dry, while also being delicate on your garments. The pod has a fan built into the base, which heats air up to 70C and then circulates it around the pod to dry your clothes efficiently and evenly.

Simple to use — all you have to do is put your laundry on hangers, and perch them on the pod's rails. Then, place the hood covering over the dryer, zip it up, switch on the heater and let it work its magic.

The Drying Pod can hang up to 12 garments and keeps your undies out of view from guests too. (Lakeland)

As the electric heater requires you to hang your clothing, most of the creases drop out, which in turn means less ironing.

It's also discreet. The fan runs quietly at less than 52 decibels, and if guests were to drop by on laundry day your smalls won't be on full display.

It costs just 15p an hour to run and has an optional timer that you can set for up to three hours, leaving you free to get through the rest of your to-do list.

What the reviews say

The Dry:Soon Drying Pod has racked up 80 five-star reviews. Here's what shoppers have to say:

  • "Wouldn't be without this! This is a very economical way of drying clothes, which can't go in the tumble dryer and the weather doesn't allow you to line dry. Provided you don't overload it, the washing comes out beautifully soft and dry. My only criticism is that you cannot buy a spare cover."

  • "So pleased I bought this before it went out of stock. Such a small footprint when you don’t have much floor space. Powerful fan heater which dries small damp clothes quickly. Much cheaper to run than a tumble dryer at about 34p per hour."

  • "I bought the Dry Soon Drying Pod a couple of months ago. I have found it extremely easy to use. It not only dries the clothes, but also heats the room, so I don't have to put the heating on which is a bonus. I have found it much better cost wise and clothes smell of the fabric softener, than putting it in the tumble drier. Saves me money which we all need."

  • "I don’t have a lot of space and had often considered the heated airers so when I saw this product I decided to give it a go. Absolutely great for anything you can put on a hanger and 30 mins nicely dries the items hanging. I’ve even put a pair of trainers in the bottom to dry and that was successful too. Love it."
