Product review (5 stars): Mine worked perfect right out the box
Ok. So i did NOT have the problem of the belt having been disconnected from the drum during shipping. Mine worked perfect right out the box. I chose NOT to buy or use an indoor venting kit. I didn't even cover the exhaust with a stocking. I saw no need as the filter within the dryer drum catches every piece of lint. Do not expect this dryer to get as hot as a non portable or to dry clothes as fast as a non portable dryer. That being said i really have no problems at all with my clothes getting completely dry in this machine. I do have a large capacity portable washer and this dryer handles a full sized load of clothes just fine. I appreciate the no heat cycle for all my items that are plush and tend to melt in the heat. I really don't notice or mind the longer drying time as compared to a non portable. I am happy with my purchase.
