Product review (5 stars): Great for small spaces! Small loads
After buying in February 2011, I used at least 2x/ week. It is good for small loads or 1-3 days of outfits depending on body size.
This item goes great with the compact Haier Washer.
It is like a small version of a dryer with a small drum and a "hair dryer" for the heat. Don't overload.
The lint filter is in the back of the drum. It consists of a few layers of filters. They must be cleaned after each use. No exceptions. Sometimes a hand vac is useful to get all the pieces of lint.
Here's what I did in my TINY Chicago Studio apartment: The washer fit right next to my sink. I hooked it up and drained it into the sink. I put the dryer by a window and bought two different vents from Home Depot- one to fit and exhaust out the window and one to vent indoors. The one that vented out the window was the best since the indo one built up humidity in the room and extended drying times. Even in the middle of winter. (Its  against code in a lot of areas to vent inside anyway). Since both appliances use 120v, they were ok to use in my place without causing danger or needing a special outlet. There is a learning curve: they cannot be overloaded. Use the highest setting for water in the washer and hottest setting for the dryer. Since they are more likely to be used in smaller spaces...they do make noise, but not any more than a normal washer in a basement or closet.
You will be happy you bought these! Again...don't overload!
