   You won’t regret buying this! Changed my life and made it so much easier!
   I don’t have a car. So getting to the laundromat as a single mother with two kids, especially in the winter, can be very hard. Walking there with all of our laundry up hill, was also quite the task. With a brand new baby it was just exhausting and I couldn’t do it anymore and figured I would look on Amazon and see what they had. I had no idea they had portable dryers until this purchase! I sat and read tons of reviews and this was the largest and had the best reviews of all of the dryers. I can do a family of three’s clothes in it plus towels EASILY. I just break up the wash into two smaller loads for the dryer. Unless it’s all clothing that dries quickly. Like workout clothing, leggings, anything with that spandex type of material. It can dry a larger load of stuff like that in an hour or so. I go and take lint out of the trap as it’s going to speed things up a bit and keep the airflow optimal. The biggest win for me is the fact I have no lint all over my clothes anymore and our clothes aren’t hard from line drying. You have no idea how nice it is putting on a soft shirt or feeling a soft fluffy towel against your face. I had been hand washing and line drying our clothes and lint was just all over everything. The tiny little portable washing machine I was using just got lint all over everything and it was awful. Not to mention line drying and having hard tee shirts and underwear. But desperate times call for desperate measures sometimes. Winter is coming and I won’t be able to line dry anymore. Walking to the laundromat is so hard with a new baby and a nine year old. Plus the weight of it all and having to push it uphill for twenty minutes, is exhausting. This purchase literally took so much anxiety away about this winter and how to get our laundry done. My days are so much easier now. Versus spending half the day washing and hand wringing all of our clothes from the day before. I’d recommend going for the Amazon credit card and getting the coupon to make the purchase even cheaper. That’s what I did and I’m so happy I did! Literally changed my life and my days are that much easier. Easy to use. Works amazingly well. Goes clockwise and counter clockwise so you’re clothes don’t get tangled. Larger than I expected but still small. I wish I could find a wall Mount to put it up on the wall, but I can’t find it on here. Or a wire rack that can hold the weight. To make the footprint even less and get it off my kitchen table. But I really don’t mind for the peace of mind I’ve got now. Worth the purchase! Buy it now. You won’t regret it!

   NO PARTS! dryer works but no replacement parts available at all
   I loved having this mini dryer in my apartment to avoid having to spend money taking my clothes to the laundromat. It worked well at first. I have had it for about a year. I used it for about 6 months, because I go on tour for 6-8 months every year. My dryer started making a scraping sound recently. I was informed by Costway that if you buy this dryer from Amazon, your warranty is only 6 months, not a year. If you buy from Costway directly, it is a year warranty. I sent this video, per the Costway representative’s instructions to their technical support email. No response.After watching a few repair videos of dryers, I decided to open up my dryer and found that the drum slide felt had completely deteriorated to the point the dryer drum was scraping against the heater cover. All of the felt was basically lint when I cleaned out the inside of the dryer. At first, I could not recognize that the “lint” was the disintegrated felt! I thought I was clothes lint.I have been searching for a replacement drum slide felt but have not found anything that will fit. I tried a universal dryer felt and cut it to size but it was too thick and did not work.What SHOULD HAVE been a quick fix (gluing on new drum slide felt) is now a crazy and creative goose chase to figure out what I can use in lieu of not having the replacement part. I’m trying NOT TO buy a whole new dryer when this one works fine, minus the felt issue.PRO TIP: buy a mini dryer that offers replacement parts. Would not buy this again.

   UPDATED 08/2021: This Dude Still Chugging Along, Almost Daily Use, Great Design!
   UPDATED ON 08-19-2021:What can I say, this guys keeps on chugging along, providing us with clean, nice smelling fresh cloths and bedsheets, and we use it almost everyday since we bought it!!! 🤩Remarkable design, efficient, with a “smart” sensor that I now choose as go-to default setting and just let it go until it senses no more moisture in the laundry. This one is very clean with the lint, easy to clean filter, and the spin does tumble clockwise, then counterclockwise for better drying mechanism. I just had to update because of how satisfied we are with this portable dryer. Again, thank you for a well-designed, portable dryer–especially if like us you are tight on living space (we are military family always moving around, had this dryer now in two states!) I just hope we have several more years (we did buy the extended warranty) of use from it! Crossing our fingers, our spinning belt has not snapped off yet like our old one did after two years. We are very happy with this brand and this product!OLDER REVIEW:Our Older Magic Chef Dryer Broke After Two Years. At first I wanted the same size and price range for a replacement. Luckily, I had an extended warranty that was honored. I used the amount for an upgrade.The Costway Dryer is indeed a true UPGRADE!What I love about it is that the spin cycle goes in alternating directions, initially revolving drum one way and then after several long minutes, it pauses, and the drum goes another way. This helps with heat distribution and makes sure the clothes are not just some tangle mess inside, which will isolate moist areas and spaces in the knots and tangles, keeping parts of clothes wet or damp, which also raises your electricity bill in the long run. Speaking of that feature, I also anticipate lower electric bill because of the feature that was not on my old Magic Chef smaller dryer, which was a “smart” option where the Costway dryer adapts to the amount and type of wet laundry you are trying to dry. So basically, it is its own moisture detector. Will stop when the laundry is truly dry. And it does actually work! No laundry load thus far has come out damp or wet, but fully dry. Very satisfied with that.And definitely this dryer has more room and has bigger capacity than our Magic Chef previous model. You can probably put a small comforter in there by itself (not sure if that is NOT recommended or applicable in the manual so do so at your own risk). I just mostly do military uniforms and regular clothes. We are a military family that moves a lot, and although our apartment complex does have a laundry facility, we prefer not to share with the neighbors and have purchased both portable washer and dryer that can be set up within kitchens or bathrooms.Also, what I particularly love about this dryer is that I notice it doesn’t blow out far more lint and dust like the old Magic Chef (which is still a model being sold here in Amazon). I don’t know why this is so since this uses the same type of filtering (circular plastic with circular filter placed in it) as the Magic Chef (I think most portable dryers employ this type of filtering method). I do religiously check and remove the lints/dust each time I do a load. And it does have just as much attached/clinging and accumulated lint on the circular filters. Yet I have noticed that not much has been blown out outside into the vent (which can be attached to a kit which we already have, and still noticeably not much in there accumulated inside the kit). I don’t know the actual efficiency in that since we only have the older Magic Chef as a frame-of-reference, and that thing was a lint/dust factory.Overall, I am pleased. This is much more expensive ($150 more) than our smaller, older Magic Chef dryer (which is now defunct after tons of use). I think that it is smart consideration that if I know an appliance has a motor which does cause perpetual friction when in use, that I make sure to buy an extended warranty. The laws of physics will definitely not exempt these type of appliances with motors from breaking down someday. Just hope that our Costway Dryer last a long, long time, at least way pass the regular manufacture warranted but not pass the extended warranty if it does follow in the tragic breakdown of our old portable dryer. If that was to happen however, unless I find a much, much significant upgrade within similar price range, I’d probably used the extended warranty refund to buy another Costway Dryer of the same magnitude.

   It works like a CHARM! It holds far more clothes than I was expecting, making laundry so quick and easy. It picks up lint SO GOOD! No more fluffs on my clothes or cat hair on my pants omg. I love it.

   I bought this not even 5 mo ths ago….I am so so disappointed. I am a single grandmother raising grandchild and I needed this badly. I saved and saved for this as I read some good reviews.I have 2 regular sized towels in the dryer right now and on the 3rd time trying to dry them.I have never had one load dry in one time. (I am in no way loading too much into it… )It has not only wasted time and money, but my hydro bill has jumped so high from this product. (I live in an apartment, and in winter tike my hydro is never over 120 for 2 months ths….it has been 267!!!!)I am so extremely upset by this…and feeling really let down by this dryerLeft 1 star cause I had to…

   Arrived before the scheduled date. Was larger than I expected. Takes longer to dry towels and you can’t over stuff the dryer. But I’m glad that I made the purchase along with the portable washing machine because the cost of doing laundry at my building just went up. They will both pay for themselves in a few months.
