Minky Over Bath Indoor Airer with 9.5 m Drying Space, Metal

I had one of these for over 20 years. It finally snapped and needed replacement. There are some changes and it is a little more sleek. I use it for drying my cold water swimming kit over the bath, also useful for drying hand washing over the bath.

Rack as described and perfectly adequate,but would have liked more space between rails for towels. Glynis

Bought this for my Mum to help her finish drying things as she doesn't have an airing cupboard. She is thrilled with it and its easy for her to manage. Sturdy build with good quality, strong rails for hanging items. Some of the cheaper ones seem to have floppy rails so this was worth the small amount extra.

I was pleased enough with this, mainly for drying swimming things, but about six weeks after purchase I realised one foot had broken off and can't be screwed back. It's had no rough handling so this is very disappointing as it affects the balance.

Sturdy, well constructed and it fits over the bath perfectly. It's not a particularly large airer, but is more than sufficient for various towels and light clothing items. The coating over the frame is virtually seamless so there shouldn't be too much trouble with bubbling and rusting of the underlying frame. The silicon feet fit onto the frame via a short lug that slots into the lower arm. This is secured by a chromium screw which is countersunk into the foot. It doesn't take much effort to screw this in, so anybody should be able to do it. As this is a relatively small unit, it fits into the bathroom quite unobtrusively and is very easy to move. Folded the frame is very narrow and easy to store. This is a good quality unit.

Out of the cellophane wrap this unit appeared sturdy with its mostly metal frame.But what lets it down is the poor quality and badly engineered plastic bits that join the metal frame together and act as feet so as not to scratch your bath.Even staying well within it's quite low 10kg limit, the plastic bits just snap off under the lightest loadsAt nearly £20, this is Not A Cheap Item, so you would have hoped, that this would have been reflected in the quality of its construction. Sadly not.Luckily for us Amazon refunded us our money when both feet broke after a month of fairly light use.

Easy to use

It is really useful for small places like mine.
