I’m very happy with this, it was simple as just connecting the vent and putting it out the opening of the window above, and plugging it in...pretty fast and easy nothing to have to screw together etc. ready to go. Pretty easy knob too, just put it to the red area for heavy items or larger loads and let it go until it’s done! It dries thoroughly even when I have jeans, work pants, etc mixed in, the only thing is that it takes a solid 200 minutes to do a full load completely dry...but I don’t mind I just set it and go do whatever I need to do. It’s surprisingly quiet and it fits on top of my 4 cube storage thing! So instead of taking up more space outward I used space upwards which is important when you have a very small apartment. As you can see from my photo I also use the panda washer, highly recommend that too. I recommend putting the dryer on top of something sturdy or doing the walk set up or getting the set that you can set it up on the wall above your washer...if you don’t have a storage thing like me...the reason I say this is that it is all the way to the ground which hurts your back constantly bending alllll the way to the floor to put clothes in and out...since I put mine in my storage thing, it’s absolutely perfect! Easy to clean out filter too! I’m very happy with this, no more $20 a week at the laundromat for me! Keep in mind I have a family of 4 (2 messy little kids and a husband with a full work outfit everyday plus bedding etc) and it works great for me by doing 1 load each morning (or evening) . It’ll work for anyone, even fits 4 flat sheets and 4 pillow cases easy ...I can even wash a queen throw blanket....not going to work with comforter if you use those

I've been using this dryer for about 9 months now and it's still doing an excellent job. If you live in a smaller space or just hate going to the laundromat, this will be perfect for you. Obviously, it's a SMALL dryer, so don't overload it - a few shirts, a couple of pairs of jeans, or a couple of light sheets are best. I've found that with heavier items, like towels, it's best to let them air dry for a bit prior to putting them in. Also, separate lighter items from heavier, because the light items need a much shorter cycle. Do clean the lint trap at least every other time and plan on buying a package of the replacement fiber filters (they're cheap.). The only draw back I've found is that it definitely won't fluff the wrinkles out of clothes the way that larger dryers do, so plan on keeping your iron and spray starch handy. All in all, I'm totally impressed with it and would buy it again without hesitation.

I just started using this yesterday. I have a Midea portable washing machine 1.6 cu.ft.Top Loading Washing and the way I've figured it is that half loads in that machine will be the maximum amount that this dryer can accommodate. I was able to find a 3" to 4" converter to connect the indoor vent and hook up was quick and easy. I have found that it is more time efficient to turn the dial to the red area between 120 to 200 minutes as it does seem to be hotter in that range vs the lower orange/yellow time ranges. Plus, I don't have to deal with the built in cool down time in the lower time range. If I want to run a 1 hour cycle, I just set the dial to 180 minutes and stop it at 120 minutes so it will be hot the whole time. The following sized loads took an hour each to dry: 1) 4 sweatshirts (mens medium/large), 2) about 12 washcloths/dishrags, 6 pairs of cotton socks, 4 pairs of flannel boxer shorts and 2 tee shirts, 3) 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, 6 dishrags/washcloths. Right now I am drying a smaller load of 3 thermal tops with a tee shirt. They came out bone dry after an hour. In case you are wondering about sheets (the main reason I got this machine), a single queen size sheet will fit. I try to not fill the drum more than about half full to allow for efficient tumbling and drying. I could stuff the other sheet in but it wouldn't dry very well. BTW, I run 2 spin cycles after each load to extract more water from the clothes. I have this on top of my refrigerator and it fits perfectly. The room it is in is a combo living/dining/kitchen/office multipurpose room. It did get a little bit warm when running this when the oven was on but otherwise it doesn't seem to heat up the room too much. Humidity went from 30 to 50% which is fine in the wintertime. In the warmer months I plan to vent it out the window. If you don't mind doing smaller loads more often and are limited on space this could be what you are looking for if you want to skip the laundromat. Update: this is my third week of using the dryer and I'm getting the hang of optimal load size and what temp range and time to use. Biggest challenges so far are: pants (at least corduroy) come out wrinkled (even when dried alone), only 1 queen size sheet fits so it takes 2-3 hours to dry the whole set. When I get the load/temp and time just right the clothes come out beautifully. My goal is to dry the loads in an hour. This is a pretty amazing little thing. You just have to be willing to accept the size limitation but I am working around it. I find it's actually easier and faster to keep up with my laundry by doing smaller loads more often. If you want a dryer but are very space (and outlet) challenged I recommend seriously considering this product. Of course, this is really best suited for a single person, perhaps a couple without children. Update 3/8/15: I've been using the dryer for 2 months and have come to love it. I have figured out the right size load/temp settings to dry the loads within an hour (I do two extra spin cycles on my portable washer to reduce drying time). I typically do several small loads a week but I've been sick and let it pile up. No problem! By the time the first load dries, the second load of wash is ready to go in the dryer. Before the dryer I was doing wash all day long on one of the weekend days but no more. I'll get through the 4 loads I have today in a few hours. Pants are still problematic as they come out too wrinkled (I hate ironing) but I spray them with wrinkle releaser and they come out looking pretty good. Sheets still take several hours as you can only do 1 queen sheet at a time but it so so worth it to not have to trudge out in the snow and sub freezing temps to go to the laundromat just to dry a few things.. The best part is I really haven't noticed an increase in my electric bill! People have complained about cleaning the lint filter. I always clean the lint filter after every load in any dryer I've had. This one needs an extra step or two but it's no biggie. I know cleaning the lint filter helps it dry more efficiently and that's what I am after. I have included front and side views (side view with indoor vent kit attached), the lint filter and an example of a load that I dried in an hour. Update 11/24/16: A little before the 1 year warranty was up the dryer started making a scraping noise. Eventually I notice a white piece of felt protruding from the drum. I contacted the company after the warranty was up (my fault) and was told it was the felt that cushions the dryer drum. In all honesty, my interactions with the company were very pleasant. The problem is that it could take as long as 2 months to get the felt from them at 18.00 or buy another drum with the felt for 60.00. Just wanted to let people know that there could be some issues if you need a replacement part. I know this makes me hesitant to purchase from them again despite their helpful service.

This thing definitely puts the compact in its name to good use! It is a rather small machine, but it will get the job done if you're just patient and do small loads. I wish I had a stand for it, as the best place to have this little dryer is in an elevated position of some kind, since the controls are at the bottom. But for $200 compared to $500+ for a full sized dryer, it'll do for the situation I am in now. Definitely better meant for those living in more compact/minimal situations

I been beating this thing up for the last three days and I give it five stars other than it being too low I will buy the bracket to raise it because it’s worth it . I read a review that said it’s a kids dryer. It is not. It gets hot and dryers a decent amount quickly. As long as the clothes are not wet and have minimum moisture from a spin cycle the clothes are bone dry I could even set it for a shorter time and the clothes are perfect .Noise level is perfect and my house smells like laundry and that’s the best part. Clean the filter often it says once a weak but I look at it if it looks full I clean it and it takes minimum time

La secadora llego una semana antes de lo que me habían dicho, aun que venia de U.S.A. Y yo vivo en Mexico, llego en perfecto estado, fue fácil de instalar unas patas que trae y fácil de usar. Solo se conecta y listo. Le compramos un tubo extra para ventilación, lo sugieren en algunos comentarios. El tiempo de secado de la ropa ha sido rápido, pero no debo meter muchas cosas o saturarla, en lo único que tube que poner dos veces tiempo de secado fue en tres toallas grandes que metí. Le caben como 7 prendas ligeras, o sabanas o tres jeans, aprox. Si la recomiendo! 👍🏻

Works great and is nice and hot. Very quiet and includes great brackets for wall mounting.

Es bastante compacta, aunque no le cabe mucho, tal vez unos 4 o 5 jeans, o unas 10 camisetas, definitivamente no un edredon. con un par de horas queda la ropa lista, calienta más cuando al timer le quedan más de 100 minutos

Estoy muy contento con la secadora

It's a lot better than hang drying clothes over a dehumidifier l, but it needs to run for 2-3 hours to get a load properly dry. Can only do 2 pairs of men's jeans at a time, and even that is pushing it on high heat with a 3h run time. Over all a solid unit.
