In recent years the device, that lets you dry your clothing without turning on the central heating or using a tumble dryer, has flown off the shelves.

Brits have also praised the device for helping them warm up their home without breaking the bank.

It comes as many homes across the UK are bracing themselves for another winter of misery, with energy bills set to rise by £149 annually.

Heated airers can save money on your energy bill as it offers a cheaper alternative to drying your clothes on the radiator.

This method can become costly as it requires you to turn on the central heating.

Aldi's heated airer costs could offer a solution for many families as it costs just 6p to run and will set you back £34.99 when it lands in stores.

The large 230W drying device can hold 10kg of washing, including towels and bedding.

You have to plug it in to get the heating effect from the product

It costs less than 50p for eight hours, this is compared to a 2500W tumble dryer costs which costs about 85p to use for just one hour.

If you want to get your hands on one you will have to act quickly, as this product is an Aldi Specialbuy and once it is gone it is gone.

Aldi does not have an online store so you will have to shop in person if you want to get your hands on one.

You can find your nearest Alid by looking at the company's store locator online.

Other retailers such as Dunelm and John Lewis sell similar products but they can cost upwards of £100.

If you do not manage to get your hands on one from Aldi do not worry, as The Sun found a very similar product from Amazon for the same price.

The Highlands Electric Heated Clothes Dryer Folding Energy-Efficient Indoor Airer Wet Laundry Drying Horse Rack costs £34.99 and has a 4.3 star rating out of five.

However, you will have to factor in delivery costs as you can only shop for Amazon products online.

How much does it cost to run a heated air dryer?

Aldi claims that this heated airer costs up to 6p to run for an hour.

So if you use it three times a week and keep it on for four hours, that costs £37.44 over the year.

However, the price of using this device can vary depending on the individual's usage.
