I'm living in a small apartment and there isn't much room for electrical appliances. But I still need a way of washing and drying my clothes, of course. I was looking around on the Internet for small sized appliances that would do the trick for me. I stumbled upon this little beauty and it caught my eye immediately. This portable tumble dryer is a drying machine that is very compact. It's also wall mountable. So even for people who live in small spaces, it will still fit somewhere when your floor is already cluttered with other stuff and/or appliances. Not many condenser tumble dryers have this feature.
Haier HLP140E Portable Tumble Dryer - Review
I've had the dryer for little over a week now and thus far I am very content with it. The drying times are not exactly short, but this was to be expected. The machine is hooked up to a regular outlet and not a high voltage one. For this reason it's going to take a little longer, but it also uses less energy. The great thing about it is that it is wall mountable. This means you can simply keep standing up while putting in and taking out clothes. Not many condenser tumble dryers give you this ease of access.
I no longer have to go to the laundromat to dry my clothes. This is to me the greatest blessing that makes the longer drying times perfectly acceptable. One more thing I like about the Haier HLP140E electric portable dryer, is that it makes almost no sound at all. So it may take a while to dry clothes, but at least it does it in silence. It is simple to use and to set up. The interface is so easy to understand, even a small child could control it. I didn't even need to read the manual in order to be able to understand how it works.
On the first few loads, I didn't have the hose hanging out the window or anything like that. So my apartment became a little bit warm and humid. When I put the hose out of the window, this problem was immediately solved. The hose provides great venting. I prefer to set the drying times manually, because the auto drying time feature leaves my clothes and sheets a little bit moist. Usually, drying times will be between 60 and 90 minutes. After that, clothing will be almost completely dry. In order to shorten drying times, I recommend first putting your clothes in a spin dryer. These can take out a large amount of moisture in little time, thereby cutting the Haier Tumble Dryer's drying times in half.
