Aldi shoppers have heaped praise on a best-selling clothes dryer which is the "exact same" as popular brand Minky "but half the price".

The best-selling heated clothes dryer is coming back in stock as part of Aldi's SpecialBuys this week.

Aldi is popular among shoppers for its affordable and extensive range of food, household essentials, dupes of high end or luxury items and more, with its SpecialBuys attracting much attention from fans.

The budget-friendly retailer's much loved SpecialBuys take pride of place in Aldi’s middle aisle and are usually released every Thursday and Sunday.

Products included in the bi-weekly roundup offer everything from homeware and gym equipment to baby products, hot tubs and more.

This week, Aldi's collapsible heated airer is coming back - just in time for the winter months as temperatures begin to drop and outdoor washing lines become a thing of the past.

With 20 heated bars, Aldi’s 230W Heated Airer, which costs £39.99, is sold with a cover designed to trap the hot air, making it more efficient while ensuring it can be stored away quickly.

Shoppers keen to get their hands on the dryer will have to be quick to snap it up, as with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

The product has racked up more than 400 reviews on Aldi's website.

One shopper said: "Excellent value for money. I purchased this as a stop gap measure as my tumble dryer had broken. I now use this all the time, and won't be going back to using a tumble dryer."

Another said: "Brilliant value for money, dries clothes quickly and efficiently".

A third added: "Great airer the exact same as Minky but half the price and I would highly recommend".

The compact airer became available online from October 10 and will be back in stores from October 14.
