Which power station will run a heated clothes airer?

A heated clothes airer draws about 300 W in the UK, continuously. No thermostat on most models, so it draws its full rating for as long as it is on — a cover over the load dries it faster and saves hours.

Typical figures for a typical unit, last reviewed 2026-08-29 — not a measurement of your appliance. Modelled on www.lakeland.co.uk. Lakeland’s instruction booklet for the Dry:Soon 3-tier airer (model 21736) states 300 W at 230 V. Smaller airers draw less; the booklet names no thermostat, so the draw is taken as continuous. Measure your own.
