Product review (5 stars): Perfect apartment sized dryer. Pairs great with Haier Pulsator.
I was used to a full-sized dryer with features such as automatically stopping when the clothes were done and only taking about 45 mins to dry a full load, but as a newly single guy adjusting to apartment living I love this little dryer. It has zero frills, Just works. I leave it set on the "high" setting and set loads to dry for 160-180 mins (big load), 140-160 mins (med load), 120-140 (small load), and 60-80 mins for a single item. Just factor in the extra time it takes to dry your clothes and you'll be fine. It takes awhile to get the clothes up to temperature, so you can't come back later and set the dryer to run for 15-20 more mins if the clothes are still slightly damp like you can with a full-sized dryer. I did that at first and it took forever to dry a load. It plugs into a regular 120v wall outlet which means it consumes less power, but since it takes longer to dry (2-3hrs vs 45mins) I was worried that there would still be a net increase in my electric bill. After a month of running a load 2-3x/wk through this dryer my electric bill was only $20 so apparently, there are no significant costs associated with operating it. It won't connect to a normal vent duct as it is smaller in diameter, but there is no apparent need to as it comes with a weird chimney-like exhaust which I've just left off as well. Also, I took a box of dryer sheets and cut them all in half using a half-sheet per load in this dryer, works perfectly. Pairs well with a Haier Pulsator washer which they are small enough to fit together in a 3 sqft w/d room meant for a combo w/d (which I opted not to get since they are known to have issues).
