I saw a clothes dryer in the Argos catalogue and was wondering if anyone has any experience of it.

From the picture it looks like a small rotary liner that has its own shroud. This shroud covers the clothes on the hangars. Underneath this sits a fan. (probably similar to a fan heater?)

Similar to a hot air balloon, the warm air rises and is contained within the shroud (although there may be a smaller hole at the top to allow excess warm air out) and the clothes dry within.

It appeals because it does not appear to take much room, nor use much power. Ideal really for use in an awning, especially if you only have a porch awning and the weather is inclement outside.

The price, I think, was around £55?

We got the Wynnster one.  Wouldn't leave home without it.  It's great for the washing if you're on a long holiday and equally handy for towels, etc, if you're showering, swimming, etc.

If you've got the space to pack it get one - ours even goes into the awning if it's raining or damp overnight!

I can't say what they're like to use though as I have no experience of them.
