It has 24 heated bars in total and a 360W heater. The brand gives 12.5m of heated drying space, or 13.5m if you count the bars that are not heated. Controls are simple: a central on/off hub. The brand's page does not list a timer or heat settings, so assume it is a plug-in-and-go airer that you switch off yourself. It lists no cover with it either. Opened out, it measures 127cm high, 55.5cm wide and 68cm long. The brand says it closes flat for storage and warns against loading more than 15kg of clothing on it. ### Key specs - Power: 360W - Heated bars: 24 - Drying space: 12.5m heated (13.5m including non-heated bars) - Maximum load: 15kg of clothing - Size in use: H127 x W55.5 x L68cm - Material: Aluminium - Controls: Central on/off hub - Storage: Closes flat ## What owners report about the Black+Decker X-Frame Folding Heated We found little owner feedback for this exact model that we could read in full. It is a newer airer, and the independent comparison site Cosy Guide has held off recommending it until more owners have rated it. We would rather say that plainly than guess. Check recent owner comments on the retailer you buy from, especially on how well your usual laundry hangs on the X-frame bars. ## Who the Black+Decker X-Frame Folding Heated suits It suits a small flat, a bedroom or a spare room, where a lower folding frame that stores flat is easier to live with than a tower. A couple or a single person doing a few loads a week is the sort of household it fits. If you wash for a family and need the most hanging room, look at the Black+Decker 3 Tier Heated Airer 63099 or the Easylife XL Heated Clothes Airer with Timer. If you want a cover supplied, the Minky Winged sureDRI XL or the Homefront EcoDry 3-Tier come with one. For fast drying of a small load, the Dry:Soon Heated Drying Pod is built for speed. ## Questions about the Black+Decker X-Frame Folding Heated ### Does the Black+Decker X-Frame Folding Heated Airer come with a cover?

Too few review sites cover heated clothes airers for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 22 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
