Product review (5 stars): I couldn't be happier. I've noticed no "skunky" odor described by others ...
I just received this dryer (8.8lb version) this morning and have had it running all day. So far, I couldn't be happier. I've noticed no "skunky" odor described by others as being common during the first few cycles -- and the clothes come out dry, smelling nice, and without any wrinkles or lint present. The dryer is quieter than I expected (a little quieter than a typical larger dryer) and seems perfect for a small apartment with two people.

According to my Kill-a-Watt meter, the dryer uses 1300 watts on high power and 700 watts on low. Drying on high power (which seems to be roughly equivalent to "low heat" on a normal size dryer) takes a little over two hours to dry a full load. In my case, an 8.5 lb load consists of about two pairs of jeans, four shirts, and ~3 pairs of underwear and socks.
