Hi there,

Do you reckon this product is an alternative to a tumble dryer, or is
just one of JML's crap products?

New shape for an old idea. A product called a Flatley airer was
available in the 50's and 60's.
The Flatley was a box shape into which you hung laundry with a heating
element near the base. It may just have been a lamp bulb in some
models.

I remember them! My mum had one. Don't spose they exist anymore? Wonder
why?

=========================================
Not much drying space, danger of small items falling through rack,
expensive to run. Quite useful as a space heater.

A flat we moved into in the 60s had a steel drying cabinet built into
the kitchen. Rods in the top to hang clothes off and a couple of
sealed bar heaters in the base. Not much cop if you were washing
sheets. Okay for nappies though we still hung them out on the balcony
in dry weather.
