Product review (3 stars): Good but requires experiment to get acceptable drying
I purchased the Panda PAN60SF portable clothes dryer about a month ago through Ebay, which is why my review is not listed as a verified purchase.

I am happy with the Panda dryer. I have the larger 3.75 cu. ft. model, which is plenty roomy enough for my needs, and has the capability of getting my clothes bone dry in a reasonable amount of time.

It should be noted that the product description states, Since it's 110V, it may take longer to dry than a regular dryer which is 220v. This is true so potential customers should be mindful of this. Nevertheless, contrary to other reviews, it does dry my clothes just fine; however, the controls are wacky, and I had to experiment to obtain satisfactory results.

I set my first dry to about 60 minutes, but the Panda did not get warm enough to do much drying. In fact, the air coming out did not feel much warmer than room temperature.

The problem is with the controls in that it combines drying time with heat level on the same knob. To heat on high you have to set it between 120 and 200 minutes, even if you do not need that much time. Warm air is generated between 20 and 120 minutes, and unheated air when set to less than 20 minutes. It also has a separate low/high heat button which makes matters even more confusing.

For the second dry I set it to a longer time, over 120 minutes which provided much hotter air. The clothes dried completely, but I did not need nearly the amount of dry time. Now I always set it for the hot section on the dial (120 and 200 minutes), and just check it when I think it is done. Normally I do not need more than 45 minutes.

Why, for heavens sake, do they not have separate controls for heat and dry time? It would be much more convenient and a four- or five-star product with just that one improvement!

Finally, I will discuss the lint filter. While it is not the easiest thing to keep clean (which definitely should be done between each use), it is nevertheless excellent. I have a separate filter outside the unit for the extracted air, but it catches very little lint because the filter inside the Panda does such a good job.

It is a good clothes dryer and a good value, but users will need to experiment to get acceptable drying.
