Product review (5 stars): Get the extension
Works as expected. Just note that you should have an idea as to the length of line needed. I got the basic thinking could run from each side but found that doesn't work as planned. Better to order/get the additional 12 foot extension to just be sure. It has cut my drying time from 1.5 hours (2-3 cycles) to 3/4 time (0.75 cycle). I say that is definitely going to help on the electric bill.
