I just got this today and wow! I was so excited to that I hurried and washed a couple loads of towels to see how they would dry and I have to say I’m highly impressed! After reading the reviews (almost got scared off by the bad ones) and mulling over it for weeks I finally decided to jump in and buy it and so far I’m happy with it. My towels dried very quickly, I forgot to see exactly how long they took but I know it was well under an hour…maybe 30 minutes max. Also to add I had 2 bath rugs, a dry towel and some wash rags in my load and it did a great job of drying them all. The package was a bit heavy (my delivery guy brought it upstairs on his shoulder 😬 and was grateful I was home so he wouldn’t have had to take it back down) I was able to drag it into my unit myself though. It’s very straightforward to use as well and I’m hoping it’ll last a long time. Oh also it’s fairly quiet, obviously not silent but the noise factor is low for me, I actually found it a bit soothing lol. It’s solidly built and came in perfect condition. I really wish I had bought this sooner. If you’re hesitating, DON’T! I got the 3.5 because I tend to let my clothes pile up before washing, I was worried it may be too big and it is big but perfect for me. I’ll update my review with pics and video when I get a chance. And if anything changes I’ll update as well. Overall I’m very happy with it.

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.

The capacity is great. It is a small dryer but you can fit quite a bit of clothes in it. It is very energy efficient which is perfect in this day and age. I am sure it will last for many years to come. Great value. I made a great choice. I would recommend to anyone.

I have bought four of these dryers for friends in my apartment complex. It runs very quiet and dries good but out of four dryers three had defective lint filters that were stuck on the shafts and I had to take a file and file the inside so it could be removed easier.other than taking the filters out to clean them the dryers are great.

Right out of the box, I used it all day, it works well, it's quiet, and small enough to fit in my really small house, but big enough to do what I have to do!

This product was very disappointing. Mine didn't work at all. The air was lukewarm, and the dryer drum did not turn. I tried all the suggestions online, like making sure the door was fully closed, but when it comes to checking to make sure the belt had not detached, that's where I draw the line.....single lady here with no mechanical knowledge, plus, there are a lot of screws in the back of that thing. Beside that, should a person have to do repair work to get something brand new to work? Because it was brand new, I didn't want to risk doing something that would damage it and then not be able to return it. I looked at this for a full year before purchasing and was careful to read all the reviews. Since I live in a tiny space and have a portable washer, I hoped this would be perfect for me, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

My previous portable dryer stopped working after 4-5 years. I bought the Panda dryer and it works great. Like some of the other reviewers said, the belt had come off during delivery and there were a couple dents (the company packaged it well so it was done during shipping). But it’s easy to put the belt back on and it heats very well. I would buy this dryer again and recommend it.

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.
Daniel AFReviewed in Mexico on February 3, 2021
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

This has been a game changer for me. I've been more and more anxious about going out to do my laundry and would stress myself out. I don't like the laundry room in the building and I would also go to a laundry mat with big machines but then I would be there for hours. Since getting this plus a little washer I can do 99% of my laundry on my apartment. I ended up having the perfect stand for the unit and it vets easily outside. I ended up using a flap of the box it came in to pop the hose in the window since it didn't come with any way to secure it. It was easy to set up. It's pretty light. I was able to find replacement filters easily enough though I try to clean those out and extend the life of each as much as possible. I find the filter comes out more easily after it warms up. I kind of wish you could get a version with the door that opens the other way depending on where the machine ends up. I've been using the unit since at least June. Usually every weekend and maybe once during the week. I think the only thing I struggle with is with a queen size duvet cover. It's just a little too much for it to dry effectively. Dry time is pretty great and you have the option to get a good amount of heat and it has a few minutes where it will run cool air through. It's not the noisy at all and I could almost fall asleep with it running. So happy with this. A step closer to feeling like a real adult!
