Product review (5 stars): One of the best purchases I've made on Amazon.
I bought this back in January to go with the Panda washer I'd been happily using for over six months at that point. I couldn't be happier with it. I'm using it as I write this--I have two pairs of pants, three shirts, and a few socks and underwear in there and I suspect they'll be dry within 2 hours, and I generally don't use the hot setting for more than 20 minutes on a load. I've never timed how long it takes to dry the clothes because it doesn't matter now that I don't have to go to a laundromat...thank you, Panda!

But seriously, I bought this dryer with just a little reservation after reading some of the less stellar reviews. I think one reviewer mentioned something about damp clothes. Dry your clothes long enough and they'll come out dry, warm, and fluffy--I've never had a problem with damp clothes. Again, I don't worry about how long it takes since I can now throw the clothes in the dryer, walk away, and do something else with that time.

I think another reviewer mentioned something about the lint filter being difficult to clean. It's not. There is a pad that sits behind the lint collector that can get fairly linty, but it's job is to collect what the lint filter doesn't--just remove the bigger pieces of lint that get caught on it and you'll be fine for several loads. Every now and then either change it or give it a good cleaning. Also, I'm not sure why people think removing the lint filter is difficult--yeah, it's located in the back of the dryer, which takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it (like the second or third time), you'll probably be fine.

Like many other reviewers, I LOVE this dryer. I had to go to the laundromat for nearly four years before purchasing my little Panda washer. That and a drying rack and I was in heaven. However, having lint and cat hair on my misshapen air-dried clothes was getting old, as was having a drying rack in the bathtub at all times. This was one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon. Oh, and shipping was FAST--I got my dryer within a week of purchasing it. I live in a major urban area, so your millage may vary.
