I feel like my quality of life just doubled
I live in a tiny space with no access to washer and dryer. I have been using this dryer all afternoon and I feel like my quality of life just went up x2.
Day 1: (7/6/21) - Euhomy Compact Laundry Dryer 1.8 cu.ft arrived at my front door at 12:30 this afternoon, approximately 2 to 7 days ahead of posted delivery time. Inside the box are two wooden squares on the inside of the top and bottom of the dryer, I'm assuming to prevent denting/crushing during the shipping process. It was packed well with Styrofoam on all sides, underneath the wood.
I'm an older female so I had a neighbor help me lift the 45+ pound dryer up onto my chrome kitchen cart. It has handles on each side so it was easy enough. I put one of the wood squares that came with the dryer was packed on top of the cart which freed up my butcher block. The rest was just me wheeling the cart into the best spot for my space.
I ordered the 5.5 lb Auertech Portable Washing Machine to go with it, unfortunately it's not arrived yet so I hand washed 2 leggings and 3 tunics for my first load which proved to be one heavier Eileen Fisher utility tunic too many and because of that it took a little longer than I'd hoped for the clothes to dry. After about 30 minutes I took the heaviest shirt out and hung everything on hangers, still a little damp, but after I was able to gauge the the correct load size the fun began!
My 2nd load was 2 light weight under-blouse tank tops, a pair of jammy bottoms and a long sleeve jammy shirt. They were fully dried in about 20 minutes.
My third load was a queen size fitted sheet, queen top sheet, 2 regular size pillow cases and a bralette. After 20 minutes everything was fully dry.
The dryer itself does not pump out hot air so there's need to run the venting outside. Touching the "glass" while the dryer was running, it felt like it was about 100 to 105 degrees so I believe the advertisement of 140 degree drying is accurate or near accurate but you'd never know by the air coming out of the vent. The rest of the outside of the dryer stayed cool to the touch. I read in a review that the dryer is near silent, yes that is true, however, the vent makes a whooshing noise. It's not over bearing or annoying, and not as loud as a traditional clothing dryer but it is not silent.
So far so good. I'll be back in a week or two to update you with my experience.
7/8/2021 - I did two small loads this evening. I took out the lint filter to clean it, put it back in, and the dryer stopped working. I waited a few minutes and tried it again, and it's working fine. I think that although the timer can be set for 120 minutes, it doesn't mean you should. I used it back to back for about as long and believe it over heated. Once it cools down it will work again. So, if you're like me and plan to go hog wild making up for lost time without a washer and dryer in your apartment, beware. More than two loads back to back may stress your new dryer a little. I did contact the vendor and am awaiting a response. Will update.
7/9/2021 - After using the dryer on a single pair of fleece house shoes for approximately 10 minutes, after opening the dryer to put in a load of 2 pajama bottoms and a pajama shirt, the dryer again would not work due to over heating, at which point I went to my e-mail to see if the seller responded. He/she did respond with the following:
" If the load is small, you could give it only about 10 mins to cool down before next use. If the load is big, it is suggested to give it about half or one hour time to rest before next use. "
I'm still happy with my new dryer but wish it was capable of running back to back loads.
8/6/21: Very happy with my purchase.
