Product review (3 stars): So far so good I love this thing wish it had a higher capacity.
Had to get a replacement the replacement is here, and I'm not sure if it overheats and turns off to protect itself, but sometimes I'll go to check my laundry after a 200 minute cycle is started, and it will be stopped on the 60 minute mark, and I can't make it turn back on unless I cycle it from the off position back on.

PRICE: I bought this dryer when it was on sale for $286.99 with prime shipping. So the fact at the time of writing this review the price is at 394.51 with free shipping is INSANE! So if the price doesn't drop go buy a Sonya at http://amzn.to/1HM4D2V in retrospect I think they got a larger capacity in the Sonya.

FIRST CONTACT: This arrived is perfect shape, no dents, no nothing. At first it did make a slightly weird sound, but it resolved itself right away (maybe the belt was slightly off?) Anyway it heats up very well, but ventilation is kind of tricky (if your not very hands on). The back vent is just a circle extruded out, and it comes with the oval shaped exhaust vent which I personally found to be 100% useless.

THE EXHAUST: The circular exhaust doesn't stick out much so it was kind of difficult for me to zip tie a hose to it, but I managed to do it, and it works great. You must find some way to expel the exhaust otherwise the dryer will suck the moisture back in from the front intake vent, and yeah your cloths will never dry this way.

BUTTON LOCATIONS: Okay so this is kind of annoying, but I guess its whatever. The heat knob is located in the bottom right which means you need to pretty much be on the floor when turning the dial. The button to the left of this the one you press allows you to switch from automatic heat or timed heat. Personally timed heat I think works best, but the auto is good to save energy since the unit has a built in moisture sensor you just turn the dial knob all the way up to 200 minutes with the button depressed, and it will start auto drying.

CAPACITY: I would say it has plenty. If your doing blankets you got to do one at a time if they are king size since they will pretty much take up the whole dryer.

LINT FILTER: The filter is located in center of the drum you just reach in and pull is straight towards you and it will pop out. It will feel like your going to great it, but trust me you won't. When they say clean the filter they mean clean the dang filter. If you don't keep up with the filter you will be 100% disappointed with this dryer. If you clean it before every load, or after every load than you will be a happy camper.

SHIPPING: When the FedEx guy came to the front, and slammed it down (not literally, but it was a light drop). I was concerned about how it would perform after some rough shipping. It preformed great, and was packaged well (I thought it was anyway).

Quality of drying a normal load: Simply put it dryers 1-2 loads of very well, but keep up with the filter, and make sure it is proper ventilated.

REASON FOR 4 STARS: Button location - Okay so if you got this on the Avanti stand that allows you to have it up in the air than the button location probably is not a problem, and the fact that they are on the bottom would be of benefit. However for me I got it in the floor, and I have to cough all the way down to get a good look at the knob to turn the dial to the appropriate time for drying.
