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 one from Argos gets some pretty bad reviews. I don't think I've ever had anything made by JML that was any good, just wait til it stops raining and hang it all over your windbreak!
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!
Its the JML one and noisy aint the word for it, My daughter took hers back the next day.

If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.

I can't say what they're like to use though as I have no experience of them.
Just had a look and it is saying that it has been discontiuned.
Although it does rely on the weather, I wouldn't be without the folding (non electric) rotary drier that I got from Argos. Handy for drying towels after a shower, or costumes when we have been swimming.

The price, I think, was around £55?
I just use my rotary drier in the awning I had looked at the JML ones and thought of buying one for next year but I don't think I'll bother now

Ooh! The reviews are pretty disappointing! We only have a small porch awning and rely on a rotary line (when the weather is fine) hence this item looked like it could kill two birds with one stone. Not heard of Wynnster but will look it up.
