Minky 3 Tier Indoor Airer with 15 m Drying Space, Metal, White

I bought this indoor airer during a stretch of rainy weather, and I’m really impressed. It’s lightweight but surprisingly sturdy and holds a full load of laundry without wobbling. I love how it folds flat for easy storage behind a door or in a cupboard.The multiple tiers are great for drying everything from shirts and jeans to smaller items like socks and underwear. It doesn’t take up much floor space, but still offers plenty of drying room.If you're short on space like me, or tired of using radiators to dry your clothes, this airer is a game-changer. Highly recommended and great value!

Excellent item. Robust but very light to carry around. High quality.

This was bought to replace the previous and quite similar Minky clothes airer, which was the standard model (as opposed to this "Plus" version).The basic frame and the folding and fastening mechanisms appear to be the same, however this one adds some useful flip out hooks on each of the top corners (see photo), from which you can hang a single garment or up to three garments on hangers. Whilst this extra hanging space is useful, there are a couple of flaws here... First of all, the way that the blue corner hooks stick out makes it very easy to snag yourself on them as you are walking past the airer, which can be annoying and a little painful. Also, when they are folded in, they are quite difficult to open out again, as there is not any kind of tab to get hold of, i.e., the blue section folds in and fits very snugly into the black plastic retainer, so snugly that if you want to unfold it again you really have to get your fingernails involved to get it open.Another slight flaw in the design (which I have again tried to show in the photos) is the blue plastic part which comes out of the swivel joint and inserts into the metal tubular frame parts. This is exactly the same as my previous model, on which this plastic part eventually snapped. To be fair it gave a few years of service, so you can't mark it down too much, but be aware that (like most things which have an element of plastic construction) it will eventually fail.On the plus side, the airer can hold quite a lot of laundry and does not take up much room for the amount with which you can load it up. The side hooks make this model extra capacious, although that extra weight may have the potential to shorten the life of the frame.Another positive is that neither this or my previous Minky showed any signs of corrosion.All in all, not perfect, but a good performer and will probably last an adequate length of time to make it worth the money.

Robust and easy to set up and use, plenty of drying space for my purposes. Folds away to a compact size for easy storage.

(Written by Brenda's husband.) When we married and set up our original home together almost 50 years ago we bought our first clothes airer. This served us well over the years until a week or so ago when it finally died of metal fatigue! Amazon offered a vast range of types and sizes and the choice seemed endless. We looked for something similar to our previous ('old faithful') with the hope of something approaching the same quality. There were many that looked the part but somehow looked a lot flimsier in construction. Rather than go to the cheap end of the market for something that might only last a couple of years, we went instead to the higher end and settled for this model. When it arrived a day later we were not disappointed. Well made and slightly larger than our previous one it is more than sufficient for our present needs. As usual, the instructions were not brilliant but we quickly worked out how to open it up without it collapsing and how the coat hanger extensions unlocked. If you want something that will last, is sturdy but is twice the price of cheaper models and oozes quality, do not hesitate because it is most unlikely that you will want to send it back.

Works really well. I had one in my other house. It worked so well, when I came to move into a new home, I bought another one. It does all that one wants it to at a decent price and lasts well too. It holds a full washing-machine load but takes up very little space when not in use.

I had to write a review because there seemed to be so many more negative than positive reviews about it that I almost didn’t purchase it - but out of the others on here I think I made the right choice!My washing line broke and needs a new post so I decided an airer was needed as I love to put clothes outside to dry in the sun.It’s so easy to stand it up and I can do it with one hand. It is light but strong and stays up securely and has good clips to keep it stable.It is ideal for inside or outside and has plenty of space and strong enough for drying a whole load of washing too!I love the brushed chrome look of the bars and the blue hanger clips are a great addition as you can also use them to secure the edges of drying items too!I’m very pleased with my purchase. It folds down to a neat and compact size that’s easy to store away too! Highly recommend!

Amazing strength. One disadvantage is I can’t hang big towels
