I own a full size combination washer and dryer that uses condensation to dry my clothes. During really humid times, it can't quite get the job done, and rather than risk having mildew in my clothes, I decided to buy this dryer to supplement the drying capacity of my other machine.
If you use the spin cycle on your washing machine to get as much water out of your clothes as possible-and reduce the weight of the clothes going into the dryer-this machine will thoroughly dry your clothes quickly. It heats up quickly and is much quieter than a larger dryer.
This unit takes a 3" vent hose, and for best results it should be vented outside. I can be vented out a window if you can't modify a wall. If you don't vent this dryer, the hot, humid air from the dryer will be vented back into the room and can potentially cause mold problems.
This dryer works well, it is just much smaller than a standard size dryer.
