It's a compact dryer, so my expectations of its performance are not as high as a full size dryer.  Frankly, I don't know of any compact dryer I would give 5 stars when simply evaluating its drying capacity. That said, this unit is quite satisfactory. It's a little finicky with load sizes and temp sensors, but that's just learning the limits and personality of the machine. Overall I'm pleased with its performance and am glad we made the choice to go with this model.
