Product review (5 stars): Small, but mighty!!
We bought this compact dryer when mother-in-law became frail and needed 24 hour care. She used to hang up her clothes either outside or in her basement. This became impossible as the aides had to change her sheets and cloth bed pads daily; additionally, it was used for daily bath towels, and clothes. Through all of this it has lasted a little over 3 years. We just re-order it.

What ultimately happened is the ball-bearing broke. When my husband took the back of the dryer off there were little steel balls just loose in the back.

All in all, considering the heavy use this dryer has endured, it is a bargain and highly recommended for people who do not have space for a full size dryer.
