Drysoon heated AIRER Vs TUMBLE running COSTS and REVIEW đ€
VloĆŸit

- Welcome back to Dadskillz! In this one I attempt to cut my electric bill in 2022 but investing in a Drysoon heated airer. This will probably be used in conjunction with the tumble dryer.
I take a look at the figures and they turn out far better than expected for the heated airer!
The heated airer could be controlled with a smart plug to enhance its functionality and drying time options.
The Tapo smart plugs I use:

The question is will you tent or no tent? Let me know in the comments.

Drying laundry electrically is expensive in general. Since I live in California where electricity is 32Âą a kilowatt, itâll cost about $1.28 to $1.60 to dry a load electronically. Can dry 4 loads of laundry for the same price in a gas dryer in my area, maybe even up to 5.
Missed a pro for the heated airier, which is that you can benefit from the added heat within the home saving your heating within the home, where as the tumble throws its heat into the great outdoors. Oh and I made my own cover out of a non breathable fabric on the sides and top so to increase the inner temperature before venting the heat and moisture. However I have now invested in a condensing tumble drier and have the best of both world, no condensation plus additional heat
This was a very well made video. Keep up the good work Dadskillz !
Cheers and thanks for watching!
What I do is use an ordinary fan, no heat. I place it at the bottom of the airer and leave on full blast. Takes longer to dry the clothes, but at a fraction of the price. The fan is rated at 31 watts. Can leave the fan on for 8 hours, which uses a quarter of a unit of electricity. The clothes are then dry, often at 5 hours, depending on how much washing is being dried.
Yeah nice đ
Thank you đ
We donât have a tumble, but we do have normal air dryer ⊠weâve not used the radiators since March. Therefore, about 8 months of the year we use the sunshine or the normal clothes horse. So not sure the heated air dryer will save us any thing.
Works really well, good job matty đ
Great video, also I could do with getting a timer plug as well. Thanks for the video mate.
Cheers for watching đ
Mine doesnât have the vents at the top of the tent
Better off with heat pump tumble costs are 1/3 of normal tumble
There is no need to buy a cover. Just use what you ve got in your earing cupboard, which is a duvet cover
I just bought one of these from Lakeland and it looks like the same product as yours, but with a different branded name. I decided to buy the tent accessory to help dry the clothes quicker, hopefully, and because it looks tidier, without the clothes showing. Iâve also got a white Knight tumble dryer, but itâs not working at the moment, until I give it a good clean, and press the reset button at the back of the machine to reactivate it. If that doesnât work, it may be broken. I was considering before getting the airer to buy a heated pump tumble dryer, to save costs, but it needs to be an integrated machine, and I wasnât impressed with the integrated ones, and the reviews about how well they dry clothes.
After some time with the tent now, I would recommend it. I think it does dry quicker. Thanks for watching itâs much appreciated đ
Thank you for the video Does it warm the area it is in aswell?
Yes a little, people have asked about damp or humidity but Iâve not experienced that. đ
Interesting⊠what about humidity? If we dry clothes in the house, not in the tumble dryer, humidity soars and we get a lot more condensation. Other than cost, it might be a consideration.
Good point Iâd not thought about or noticed. I wonder if the tent is cure for that.
@@dadskillz The tent should make it worse! because where the water vapor goes?!
@@arionfar it does have vented areas on top. I must say since using it the tent seems to help a lot. đ
@@dadskillz eventually even with the tent the air in your room will have to absorb that moisture. Best way is to probably also run a dehumidifier.
@@kash.h interestingly im doing a test at the mo and the ambient humidity in the house was about 52 all round the house with no heated airer on. Inside the airer with it on with washing in it it went down to around 35%. I see slot of dehumidifier talk, I think it may be debatable.
Return to using the good ole clothes line!
I can when itâs not raining
AWESOME review, man! It had it all from electric specifications to ending with a joke.
Thanks for watching!
