Product review (5 stars): Works much better than anticipated
Received this product last week. I'd visited this review site to make my decision, and am not sorry I purchased the unit. Thanks so much for all the detailed reviews!
It was a cinch to install. A proponent of ozone as a purifier, I was curious just how well this would perform. No question the clothes are very clean, and no separation of whites and colors is required.
But the most striking result is opening the dryer after...NO STATIC CLING. After doing laundry for four decades, never once were clothes static-free out of the dryer until now. All the clothes, towels, and sheets came out fantastically soft, with no need for dryer clothes treatment. I was never one for using dryer sheets or any sort of fabric softener; I don't like what they do to clothes, and don't like the feel. These products may affect skin health, and may leave a dangerous residue in the dryer, especially on lint if there is any buildup in the exhaust ducting. Not sure if this could contribute to a combustible situation, but I hear too much about dryer fires.
Considering one batch of clothes can be washed and dried together regardless of color, using cold water, this alone has to be a huge energy and water saver. In addition, all clothes could be dried together, for the first time on the lowest heat setting using the dry-sensor cycle. Not one came out damp, as was the case previously. Socks and underwear were soft as though new, though they'd been through the "harsher" regiment previously. The whites are just as white or whiter than with the most effective detergent I'd used. And consider with residue buildup (and resulting odors) in the washer being purged by using this unit just how long your washing machine will last.
If you are concerned about the environment, or not savvy with sorting, or want to save by not using detergent, or want your clothes to last much longer, this unit is for you.
