5.0 out of 5 stars Great for small loads!!
I live in an apartment that doesn’t have the wall outlet for a regular dryer so I bought this little dryer because it connects to any wall outlet. It does take a while to dry but it dries clothes completely. Lightweight to move around! Great for your money! I’ve had it for a few months and it’s worked great. It does move a lot so need to find a good place, makes normal noise that any dryer would. Can’t fit comforters or large sheets, but good for regular small loads. I sometimes use it 3-4 times in a day.
5.0 out of 5 stars I read every review before deciding which was helpful and the cost ….
I like how compact it is… plug into a wall …. like how a microwave does (type plug outlet.).It’s great in my narrow broom hall closet, next to my automatic washing machine (5pds ). Lots settings, and a great filter that’s easy to clean.Love it!
1.0 out of 5 stars Great little dryer, but FEELING RIPPED OFF
EDITING THE REVIEW: After reading other reviews showing the sticker on the side stating it's a 5.5 pound capacity dryer, I decided to check the sticker on the side of mine. Sure enough, it states 5.5 lb. capacity. WTF?!?! I didn't PAY for a 5.5 pound capacity dryer I paid for a 10 pound capacity dryer. So is Costway ripping people off, or are they just putting the wrong stickers on the product. There is NO indication in ANY of the Bolo product listing page that indicates this is NOT a 10 lb. dryer. It's what I thought I was getting and it's certainly what I PAID FOR. I will be filing a complaint with both Costway AND Bolo. If neither one makes it right, I'll pursue legal redress. This is simply fraud on the part of Costway.That said, as other reviewers have said, this is a 110v dryer that will take at least 2 hours for you to dry heavy clothes in them such as a pair of jeans, or heavy shirts. However, if you're drying things like undies, socks, Tee shirts or dish/tea towels, they will take much less time. If you look at the dial, you'll see that the really hot temps are up around the 120 minute mark, while warmer temps are from about 20 minutes and up. That said, you need to put clothes in here that have been spun as dry as they can be. So, if your small washer has a spin dryer, use it. If not, get one and transfer the clothes to it and use this as a "finish" dryer. The less wet the clothes are, the faster they'll dry. My system is an 8 pound washer w/spin dry and a 13 pound spin dryer. I take the clothes from the washer after it's spun them dry and put them into the spin dryer for a 5 minute further spin. Then I throw them into this dryer for final drying. Whole process takes about 2 hours total. As for venting, it's not really needed. It comes with an angle pipe piece that fits over the vent in the back, and you can attach a regular dryer vent hose to it, but it really isn't needed. Unless you turn it up to the 2 hour mark, the heat coming out isn't all that hot. I love it quite frankly. It's also perfect for a small space, or if you're in a house or apartment, you can use it to supplement your full size dryer. I'm in an RV and it's a perfect size for this place. Right now I have it outside, but only because I haven't cleared a space yet to it to come inside. But, I've got at least 3 places I can place it once I get them cleared up.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great
I've had my dryer now for almost 2 1/2 years, and ZERO problems with it! I've even loaded it a bit on the too much side, and it still has worked great doing bigger than recommended sized loads. If I have sweatshirts of sweatpants or jeans in the load, I may have to run the time a bit longer to have no dampness along seems and such, but I've never even had to set the timer dial to even half way. I do most of my loads at a quarter turn of the dial to maybe 30 to 40% at most, for bigger loads. I recommend this dryer for sure.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great for small apartments.
I’ve had this little dryer for a couple of weeks now and it has made my life so much easier. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment and have next to no storage space. I was able to fit this on top of the shelving unit I have in my bathroom over my toilet. I used a couple of bungee cords to hold it in place just to be safe since it does cause the shelf to rattle a bit while it’s running.I’ve seen some reviews complaining about how long it takes for things to dry, but I feel like they’re expecting a little too much out of such a small machine. It’s not a traditional dryer, it’s not high powered, so naturally it will take a bit longer for things to dry. I haven’t yet tried anything really heavy duty in it, such as the jeans I wear for work, but I expect something like that will probably take two full cycles to get completely dry. Also, I use wool dryer balls and those definitely help clothes dry faster.Before I bought this I would have to hang dry my clothes, and particularly in the winter when it gets really cold, it was not unusual for things to take a couple to days to fully dry, so doing laundry was a task that I had to plan a few days in advance. This makes my life so much easier.My biggest gripe, and the reason I’m knocking a star off, is because of the issue with the belts. I’ve seen several other reviews complain about this, and it seems to be something the company is fully aware of, and so far as I can tell it doesn’t look like it’s an issue they’re trying to resolve. It seems like most people have an issue with the black belt that turns the barrel slipping off, but my issue was the transparent belt that controls the fan. The first several times I ran the machine my clothes were not only still wet after running them through several cycles, but the dryer would run for about ten minutes, then stop and sit for a long time before starting up again. I contacted customer service to describe my issue, and after talking to them pulled off the back panel to find that the transparent belt was broken, so basically there was no air flow and the machine was overheating, hence why my clothes weren’t drying and the machine kept stopping after only a few minutes. To the company’s credit, customer service was very quick to help me figure out what the issue was and to send me a replacement belt. Once I got the new belt on -a very tedious task- the dryer worked great.Because the belts seem to be such a common issue, I would almost recommend taking the back panel off before ever using the machine just to check that both are properly in place and intact. I would hope that the company is working on ways to prevent this from being a problem in the future, but who knows. I also wonder about the longevity of the belts, so we’ll see how they hold up as time goes on and I use the machine more. For the time being however, now that the dryer is working properly, I’m pretty happy with this little machine.
awesome dryer.
This little dyer is awesome and there is nothing not to like about it. If you want it to dry the clothes faster put a dry hand towel in with the damp clothes and it will cut down on the dry process it a trick my sister told me about. The dryer arrived on time and it was well packaged. Would i buy again yes.
Compact Dryer - Fun Facts
Not bad for $400 with free shipping. It's good for a single person or a couple. Good for small spaces like apartments, condos and even people who live in their RV's. It's very quiet and the heater strength is good. You won't be able to fit a blanket, but a pillow could fit depending on the size. If you're a big family, you may need to buy 2 units or just buy a regular sized dryer.
Great Product
I bought this dryer two years ago. It works fine for me. You won't be disappointed if you follow the instructions and don't overload the dryer. I put the dryer on high (red) for tank tops and underwear and check it every 20 minutes. This way, you don't damage your clothes by shrinking them. When clothes are close to the dry stage, switch to high (orange) and check every 20 minutes. Buy a dryer vent and direct the humidity out of your room.
Lint filter is annoying to clean
The dryer runs and does dry clothes, it’s a compact size. It does tend to take about 25%-50% longer than a traditional dryer which is fine based on price difference and location availability. However the lint trap has a plastic grid covering that does not open the Manuel suggests using a vacuum but I can’t see myself doing that each time. You can floss the lint out the back but I wonder if this will damage the filter over time. I did have to make 2 additional purchases before I could use this dryer I ordered a window vent kit and then also had to order a dryer vent hose separately, something I wish I had known about so I could’ve ordered initially
Great dryer
I bought this machine in 2021 and have used it almost daily since. It is a great machine for small spaces (my place is only about 400 sq. ft. and I have it sitting up on a sturdy counter for ease of emptying and filling. My only complaint is that the filter inside the drum has gotten kind of ratty from use. I was told when I bought it that there were no replacement filters available. Maybe that has changed?
