Product review (3 stars): Have To Say I Will Not Ever Buy Magic Chef Brand Again After All This
This little dryer is just right for what I needed. I struggled with it setting it up (on a rolling stand, in my case) because of my age and lack of physical strength. I am able to lift it, but not carry it very far. I bought an indoor venting kit for it, which was easy to attach.

When I first got it, it would NOT turn off. I set it up, installed the indoor venting kit and then when I plugged it in, it came on. So I turned the dial to OFF. It kept going. So I turned it a little this way and then that, but it kept going. So I turned it to the other OFF position, but the same thing happened.

I called Amazon, who offered me a refund or replacement. This is a large item which would not be fun at all to rebox, or spend 20 minutes trying to drag to the door for pickup.

I was going to call Magic Chef's Customer Care (888/775-0202) for help. I went to their website and decided to contact them by chat instead. The woman who answered my chat said to call Amazon after I told her what the unit is doing. I told her I did not want to return the unit, I wanted to fix it and keep it. I said So Magic Chef does not stand behind their products?? She said to call Amazon, as they are a third party seller and it is not their problem. I could NOT believe what I was reading. I decided to register the product on Magic Chef's website and email them to see if I could get more help. I did. They called and left a ticket number for me to call and schedule a service person to come fix the dryer. When I called, the lady on the phone told me one thing to try first which ended up fixing the dryer. Here's what it was, for anyone else who experiences the same thing: This dryer has an Eco Mode. When my Eco Mode button was not pressed down (turning the Eco Mode on), my dryer would not turn off, but when I pressed the button in, and then turned the dial to Off, it turned Off.

I love everything about this little dryer so far, but haven't used it yet (waiting for my compact washer to arrive). I will come back and update this review when I have used it, if I have anything to say

UPDATE: I have several things to add about this little compact dryer.

I love the overall aesthetic of it. It looks nice and does not take up an inordinate amount of room. I wanted to set it on a solid table so I could more easily reach the lint filter after each dry load, but it made a noise that sounded like a ball point pen being scraped across a metal washboard. So I put it on the floor. It still makes the noise. All the time. Every load.  This is my biggest issue. I went back to Magic Chef's website, where I had registered it, and logged in thinking I would turn in a trouble ticket, but it did not even show I had registered it. What a waste of time. I tried to call customer service and was on hold forever. I gave up. I shut the door so I don't hear the noise as loudly while I am drying, but I am very dissatisfied with the lack of customer service and with not being able to get any help for this problem. Going forward with this in mind, I will NOT buy another Magic Chef product. The dryer does okay drying about 1/2 a compact washer load of clothes at a time. Drying that much takes an hour or more most of the time. I rarely use the high setting because I don't want to ruin my knit clothes.

The lint filter is in the least convenient place they could possibly have put it, made far worse by the fact I have the dryer on the floor. It is in the center of the back of the drum, so I have to get all the way down on the floor to clean it after each load. It is easy to pull off since it has finger holes, but difficult to put back in since you can't see in the drum well to center it exactly.

At this point, with the lack of help and repair available through Customer Service, I cannot recommend this dryer. I give it three stars for aesthetics and compactness and it does actually dry clothes in small loads.

UPDATE 10 MONTHS IN:  Well, now the exhaust lint shroud (main lint screen in back of drum)  has broken, so the dryer isn't usable at all. This dryer is a waste of money and I will never buy anything made by Magic Chef again after the way they treat their customers who buy on Amazon.  But just in case, I called them. I explained to the lady who answered what was going on, and the noise it was (still) making. She opened a trouble ticket and said a warranty repairman would be calling me to come service it.  The next day I got an email from Magic Chef with a buy-back offer. They said if I would cut off the cord and photograph the serial number and the cut cord and send them that, they would refund me on the dryer.  I was so tired of messing with them over this dryer I said yes. I got the refund check today. They refund only the actual price of the dryer, not taxes or shipping. I am fine with that. I have since purchased a "portable dryer" here on Amazon which works great for just me.
