Product review (1 stars): The worse purchase I've ever made.
I live in an apartment. The first thing I thought when I saw this was that looks like it would work for me and it has four stars. The cost to dry at my apartment is $1.50 per load. So it seemed worth a try. Boy, was I wrong. All these other reviews are fooey. It looked difficult to put together at first, but it actually was pretty easy. The legs are very flimsy and kept falling off because they didn't clip or screw in. One of the feet to the legs was actually damaged and the dryer wouldn't stand up correctly. My first attempt to use I put very few clothing in and it took over an hour to dry. When I set the second cycle, I looked over the plastic covering and noticed there was a very worn, dirty puncture through it. I decided to cover it with some tape so that I could complete the drying cycle. It seemed to have helped a little bit. I then attempted to dry a total of three (smaller) towels. I gave it 3 hours. That's right, 3 hours! My towels felt like I only put them through half a drying cycle. I put them back in for another hour and felt my towels. My towels felt like I put them in the oven. They felt absolutely disgusting. I gave up and threw the rest of my clothes in the actual dryer. The $1.50 cost to use my apartment dryer is nothing compared to the frustration of using this portable one.
