The Innotic heated airer at 72.99 euro: 230 watts, so four hours of drying is 0.92 kilowatt-hours

After October washing does not really dry on a Dutch balcony, and every household hits the same choice at this time of year: run the tumble dryer, or leave it hanging indoors another day. This Innotic heated airer costs 72.99 euro, and the listing gives 230 watts, 20 heated rods and a working temperature of about 50 degrees, rated 4.2 from 9,569 reviews. That 230 watts is what makes the machine calculable: divide by 1,000 and multiply by the hours you intend to run it, and you have the units for that load. It is not a dryer. It is a clothes airer with heat in the bars, and it works in hours rather than minutes.

• Specification: 230 watts across 20 heated tubes, which the listing says spreads heat evenly up to about 50 degrees; aluminium alloy frame with non-slip feet. (source 1)
• Size and load: 145 by 37 by 54 centimetres open, listed elsewhere on the page as 54 deep by 145 wide by 94 high, 2.95 kilograms empty, a 15-kilogram load limit, and it folds away. (source 1)
• Priced at 72.99 euro, rated 4.2 from 9,569 reviews on the listing, shown as in stock, ASIN B0H9X9D9ZM. (source 1)
• It is not a tumble dryer: no drum and no exhaust, just twenty heated bars once it is plugged in, with the washing still spread out by hand. (source 1)

The sum is this: watts divided by 1,000, times the hours it runs, is the units for that load. 230 divided by 1,000 times 4 is 0.92 kilowatt-hours; six hours is 1.38. The next step is the one the listing will not do for you: read your tumble dryer energy label, which states kilowatt-hours per 100 cycles, and divide by 100 to get one cycle. Subtract the two and you have your answer, and it is the answer for the machine in your own house rather than a review-site average.

The second thing to work out is how much it takes at once. The load limit is 15 kilograms, but that is the weight of wet washing, not the rated drum size. A full 8-kilogram machine comes out weighing considerably more wet than dry, so whether one wash fits in one go has to be estimated from your own wet load rather than from the number printed on the washing machine. If it does not fit you dry in two batches, and two batches doubles the hours in the sum above.

The third point has nothing to do with electricity and everything to do with October onwards: drying wet washing indoors does not make the water disappear, it moves it into the room air. So the real cost of this machine is the electricity plus whatever you spend ventilating or dehumidifying afterwards. The way to judge it is direct: watch a hygrometer while a load is hanging and see how far the room humidity climbs. That number is the one to track.

Last, timing. The listing shows delivery between 16 and 21 September, so it will not reach this weekend’s wash. If the reason you are looking is that it is raining this week, this machine does not solve this week. It solves the next six months.
