Asda shoppers rush to buy ‘perfect’ energy-saving gadget scanning at £21 instead of £42 and its the cheapest around

ASDA shoppers are rushing to buy the "perfect" energy-saving gadget and it's the cheapest around.

The supermarket giant has a heated laundry airer scanning at £21 down from £42.

As the winter creeps in many households will be worried about rising bills as they start switching the heating back on.

Getting the laundry dry also becomes more costly as people need to start using their tumble dryers again.

But there are some gadgets that could help keep the cost down and a heated clothes airer is one of them.

Asda currently has a "ladder heated airer" that it claims costs under 5p per hour to run.

It is also the cheapest around at the moment as it has been reduced from £42 to £21.

It is described on the Asda website as having low running costs and a 3-year warranty.

The airer has a towel rack-style design to save on storage space and can take a maximum laundry load of 10kg.

It claims that the heated airer is "Up to 94% cheaper to run" when compared to the energy consumption of a Class A++ 9kg capacity dryer on a standard cotton programme at full load.

Customers who have bought the product say that it is "very reliable" and it has a 4/5 star rating on the website.

One said: "For the price, this is a decent heated airer. Heats up quickly".

Another commented: "Perfect for small spaces, lightweight, doesn’t take up a lot of room but did dry damp towels nice and quickly".

While another person added: "Really useful product. Heats quickly and does the job brilliantly. Great for a small area".

As always it is good to shop around to make sure you are getting the cheapest deal and the product that is right for you.

Draught excluders around your doors also help to keep heat in and using an electric blanket instead of putting the heating can help reduce costs.
