A PREVIOUSLY sold out Lidl winter gadget has returned today – and it’s perfect for drying clothes.
The popular household staple could help slash your energy bills.
A heated drying rack, called the Minky 12m Heated Airer, is selling for £34.99 in store at Lidl.
Using a clothes airer can save hundreds on your heating and saves you whacking on the costly tumble dryer.
Unlike traditional airers, the heated product is plugged in and warms up – drying your freshly washed clothes in no time.
With the temperatures plunging this month, bills are bringing another set of chills.
Many households are struggling to keep up with the cost of energy bills.
Thankfully this Minky airer costs only 6p an hour to run, which is a bargain compared to a tumble dryer which can cost up to 68p per cycle, according to uSwitch.
If you use the airer for an hour it works out around nine times as cheap depending on your tariff.
The fold-out wings allow it to be compact when not in use, so you can tuck it out of site when you need the space.
Each wing stretches out to carry 10kg of clothes with a total drying space of 12m.

It’s made from aluminium so is lightweight and easily transportable so you can dry clothes anywhere in the house.
To get your hands on a heated airer you’ll have to make your way to a store, as Lidl doesn’t sell online.
Its worth calling your local store to check for availability.
Of course, always remember to shop around when buying anything like this as you might find it cheaper elsewhere.
You can use price comparison sites like Trolley, Price Spy and Price Runner to compare prices on thousands of products.
