Great companion to Haier portable washer
This dryer is a great companion to the Haier portable washer (especially in a climate where things *never* dry if you try to put them on a drying rack). Load Capacity It definitely doesn't take a large load - but it takes a load from the haier portable washer just fine. Since you can only dry one washer load at a time, and it takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to dry, it does limit the number of loads in one day (even though the washer takes about 20 minutes). Performance After an hour and 45 minutes, most things are perfectly dry. If there are particularly large loads, or particularly difficult to dry items, it can take longer. But overall it seems to work really well. It plugs into a regular wall outlet and we bought a flexible/extendable vent hose from the hardware store and vent it out the window. Ease of Use This dryer is ridiculously simple to use. Open the window that the vent hose vents through, put in your laundry, and press start. There are some cycle options, but nothing terribly complicated. When it beeps, it is done. Durability I don't have much experience with this yet - we only got this washer last week - but so far we've done several loads and have no complaints. Design The only thing about this dryer is that, if you don't mount it to a rack above your washer, or to the wall, and leave it instead to sit on the floor.... it can be a little tricky to put stuff into it. It is a front-loading dryer, and the door is a scant 1 inch above the floor. If you have trouble getting down to floor level, then I would definitely recommend mounting it on the wall. That just isn't practical in our apartment, however.
