Your laundry called – it wants this 'beautiful' clothes airer that's perfect for small spaces

'I was on the fence about this, but am really glad I replaced my ugly metal clothes dryer with this beautiful thing.’

Not everyone loves using a clothes dryer, but drying laundry naturally can take time and space, especially for small homes.

That’s why we think this fold-away compact laundry airer, on sale now for Prime Day 2025 at Amazon, will be your new favorite airer. Designed for tight corners, balconies, and a lack of storage space, this clever little tool makes air-drying clothes easy, without taking over your living area.

Whether you're in a studio apartment, sharing a home, washing delicates or just trying to save on energy bills, this travel-friendly airer is a smart, flexible solution for air-drying clothes anywhere.

The compact clothes airer that's perfect for small homes

Drying clothes in a small space is nothing short of a logistical nightmare. Not only do you need to find space to dry clothes quickly without a dryer, but you also need to source some storage ideas to keep traditionally large airers out of the way when not in use.

That's where this fold-away clothes airer comes in clutch. Measuring just 35 inches wide and 38 inches tall when folded out, this compact design folds down into a tube measuring only 18 inches in height and four inches in width, making it simple to stow away to maximize space in a small laundry room or create a convenient laundry corner in a small bathroom.

Head of Solved Punteha van Terheyden loves how this airer has a conveniently small footprint to take up less space inside your home whilst in use, adding, ‘I love the unusual design and think it's exactly the sort of household item that will have us looking back in the future and questioning what we ever used bulky and space-consuming tiered dryers.’

Unlike traditional clothes airers, this design also prompts you to dry clothes on hangers, making putting laundry away easier. Plus, as Punteha points out, ‘I love how the hanging feature on this airer eliminates any risk of clothes airdrying with that dreaded damp smell because they're hung over a rail and effectively folded in half.’

Admittedly, because it is compact, there is less space for drying clothes indoors than there would be on a larger gull-wing airer, from Walmart, on an outdoor washing line, such as this nine-foot retractable line also from Walmart, or in the best clothes dryers.

However, for a small load or smaller households, it's perfect in a pinch. We are not the only ones who think it’s fabulous, either.

Verified Amazon shoppers Julie & Tony D, shared, ‘We are loving this drying rack. It takes up so little space in the house, and holds so much stuff to dry on our deck! I've wanted a clothesline for years, but there just isn't a place for one – this works. I can't dry our sheets on it, but everything else that I've wanted to has worked out well, [and it doesn't tip over] even when the weight distribution has been very lopsided.’

Fellow shopper Live added, ‘I'm shocked at how sturdy and well-made this is. It looks so good, holds so much laundry, and stores away so easily. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I was on the fence about this and am really glad I replaced my ugly metal clothes dryer with this beautiful thing.’

What to shop


Need to dry clothes indoors in winter? Pair this convenient airer with one of the best dehumidifiers to speed up the process, reduce musty odors, and prevent mold in your home.
