Product review (5 stars): I don't know why so many reviewers hate on this little dryer
I don't know why so many reviewers hate on this little dryer. There are NO other compact VENTED dryers available in the US that pass fire safety regulations. The non-vented options are worthless! They dry by evaporative cooling, which takes forever and always leaves clothes damp and wrinkled. This is an actual dryer. Yes, it is louder than your traditional whirlpool, and required a special plug (so probably a lot easier when doing new construction). If you need a stackable for a tight space, there really is no better option at this price point. They are also visually attractive if you had to put in a location without a door. My only complaint is that the doors open in two different directions. I even called the manufacturer directly to see if there was some type of kit to switch the direction the doors open. There isn't :( Keep that in mind if you are purchasing for a tight closet space. The hidden bookcase door I had purchased didn't work due to the additional clearance need on both sides.
