Product review (5 stars): A handy tool
The dryer does the job! I've washed 3 sweaters, a bathroom rug, and 2 pairs of slippers. After using the dryer, the items were only slightly damp, and dried quickly. There would be no other way to extract as much water but to spin. With bulky items (like a rug) it may be tricky to balance the load, but it is an acquired skill.

Things to improve:
- the drain hose is a bit flimsy and more weight is needed to keep the end in place
- there is no good storage for the power cord
