The sleek item, which comes in white, measures at 147cm x 73 x 70 (approximately) when open and 147cm x 730 x 15 (approximately) when folded.
The airer comes with several accessories, arguably setting it apart from other airers on the market.
Aldi shoppers get two extra racks for the top, two mesh shelves, two peg hangers and a drying cover.
The two mesh shelves lie across the rails and customers can place anything they want to dry flat, or small items, on top.
The peg hangers are added to any rail via velcro - which is super easy to assemble and use.
As for the drying cover - just place it over the entire airer and it can help circulate the heat evenly.
Although the airer may appear to be bulky, there's one massive plus - it can dry up to 30kg of washing - which makes it perfect for families or larger households where the washing machine seems to be constantly running.
Meanwhile, for those who live alone or don't go through huge piles of clothing every weekend, Aldi's might be a better fit.
Available at stores as of the 16th of January, this airer is not only a smaller version of the £79.99 find - but also cheaper, setting customers back £34.99.
