Argos shoppers rushing to buy ‘godsend’ winter gadget to avoid putting on the heating
ARGOS shoppers can’t get enough of a winter gadget that helps avoid using the heating and saves you money.
Savvy savers have been rushing to buy the JML Dribuddi heated indoor airer for £79 from the retailer.
The gadget can hold up to 10kg and dries and decreases your clothes using a warm air motor.
It also comes with a one-year guarantee so you can get any faults repaired for free up to 12 months after purchase.
Shoppers have left rave reviews for the airer on Argos’ website and a recent Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group post.
One said: “I’ve had mine for years it’s amazing for kids clothes, you can fit so much in.”
Another said: “This item is a godsend because when it is raining the washing can be dried indoors.”
Meanwhile, a third added: “I am so pleased with it. Best thing I ever got.”
If you fancy buying one of the Dribuddi airers, you can click and collect for free from your local Argos store.
You just have to enter your postcode and select the nearest branch to head to.
You can get it delivered to your doorstep as well, although you may have to pay a fee.
We looked at ordering to South-East London and the standard delivery charge was £3.95.
Of course, when buying something like this you should always shop around to see if any other retailers are selling it cheaper.
You can use websites like Price Spy or Price Runner which show how the same product is priced across different websites.
The Google Shopping tab is a quick way to scan the internet for products too.
We had a quick look online to see if other retailers are selling the JML Dribuddi for less than Argos.
Wayfair.co.uk has slashed the price on the same model from £80 to £73, making it £6 cheaper than Argos.
Other than that, Argos is either the same price, or cheaper than other retailers selling the same model.
If you don’t have the budget for the Dribuddi, you could still save energy and money by opting for a different airer.
Dunelm is selling one with wings for £40 and it costs just 7p an hour to run.
Meanwhile, Aldi has brought back its popular £40 heated airer – and the retailer claims it costs just 6p an hour to run.
