The Aldi Ambiano Heated Airer is famously cheap - I used it for months and I'm sold
Jan 2, 2025
The budget option that's better than the rest
It’s no longer news that Aldi makes one of the best budget heated clothes airers on the market. Every year, hoards of people await the release of the Ambiano, laundry liquid in one hand, with the other ready to snatch at the deal.
I’ve always seen the Aldi Ambiano Heated Clothes Airer for what it is: a brilliant budget option. Whilst I know for a fact that their cast iron pots are exceptional, I was always a little bit sceptical about how this could measure up against the best heated clothes airers on offer from the likes of Dry:Soon and Beldray.
So, I did what any good journalist does and I watched the news for when the Ambiano launched this year and tested it out to find out whether it really is a good way to save money on clothes drying . I used it in my home for weeks in the place of my model which is six times the price. Here’s how it went.

Unboxing
Aldi sends the Ambiano in a big, but slim box. It’s not particularly heavy, even if it does take some manoeuvring to get around tight corners. For the most part, the packaging can be recycled. There are some soft plastics that take a little more effort to dispose of sustainably (you can recycle these at big supermarkets), but it’s all very simple.
