A GADGET which “dries a full load of wet washing in three hours” has sent Brits in a frenzy as it hits baskets with £80 off.
The Amazon product has been hailed as a quickfire “must-have” to get laundry ready without causing damp and condensation.
The Hangsun 12L dehumidifier has been winning rave reviews on the online retail site – especially after having its price slashed, amid a week of pre-Christmas sales kicked off by Black Friday.
The item has just been made available on Amazon for £138.96 – down by £80.02, or 37 per cent, from its previous price of £218.98.
Fans online have told of their amazement at how the gadget not only keeps condensation and damp from hitting their homes’ walls – but also seems to help their washing dry much more swiftly.
One happy shopper went on to the site to urge others to make the most of the new price cut.

A satisfied customer with a home gym featuring a treadmill and other kit commented: “The amount of water I pour out of the unit is amazing and would otherwise be dripping down the walls or getting into the equipment.”
