Product review (5 stars): Perfect for apartments
I have an apartment, and this was like a god-send. I don't have a washer/dryer hookup, so I got a Panda washer and a Panda dryer.
At first, living in Texas, I was concerned about the heat factor when drying clothes in an apartment. But it wasn't a problem. I got a window fan for the hottest months, and I use that in conjunction with the vent to expel the hot air.
But realistically, it doesn't get nearly as hot as I thought it would.
It's also nice and quiet. I've had it running while my husband was taking a nap and he didn't even notice.
Finally, given the above two qualities, it doesn't take long to dry clothes at all, and the clothes come out fresh and crisp.
I would heartily recommend also getting wool dryer balls and essential oil (to put on the dryer balls) to go with this dryer. They remove lint in conjunction with the dryer's own lint filter, and the clothes come out even fresher. Plus, if you get a nice essential oil (I like French Lavender, personally), your clothes smell really good coming out.
