120 volt dryer for apt use
The Haier portable dryer is a good general purpose dryer. It runs on regular current, 120 volts. I let everything dry on the auto cycle, which is appx. 60 minutes. Items come of out the dryer dry, but not HOT. The only problem I have is drying sheets - they tend to ball-up in the dryer, so there are damp spots at the ends. I just let the sheets air dry afterwards. Towels and pillow shams dry completely. Usually can only dry 1 sheet at a time. The number of towels and other items, amounts will vary depending on size and thickness. I use the building's washer (HE style), which removes more water than the regular top load washers. Clothes that are hand washed (and wrung out) dry within the auto timed of 60 minutes. Overall, I am satisfied with the dryer's performance. I don't have to worry about venting to the outside (the adapter is positioned upward). Remember to clean the lint filter after each drying and the dryer will perform without problems. There is dryer noise so don't place in area where you need to hear other things.

Does what it's supposed to do in a convinent size!
I have a model of this I bought about a year ago--it looks slightly different than the one pictured here but has the same model number.
That said, this dryer is GREAT. It does take a while to dry clothes, but I got it to go along with the haier portable washer, and it dries one load in the time it takes another load to wash when I use the power wash setting, so that's pretty good.
However, the automatic settings really don't work that well--like a previous poster, I recommend using the timed dry options.
I also don't have the dryer vented to the outside--I instead purchased an indoor lint trap thing. I don't know that it really does much, but the dryer doesn't seem to release a lot of lint into my apartment. The dryer does add some heat and humidity to the apartment, but that's great in the fall/winter. Not so much in the summer, but it still beats having to go to the laundromat.
If you live in an apartment or somewhere that doesn't have laundry hookups or a 220V line, this dryer is a great purchase.

Never go to the Laundromat again!
This was the final purchase to allow me to do laundry in my 600 sq. ft. San Francisco apartment. Although we have a laundry room in the building, it seemed that the machines were always in use when I wanted to do laundry. I ended up buying a Haier portable washer (and some great drying racks at Ikea). While surfing the Internet, I happened upon a spin dryer at [...] The spin dryer is amazing!! It uses an extremely fast spin to take much more water out your wash then any washer can. Some things, like t-shirts, can be dry in 1/2 an hour by just hanging them up! Anything that cannot be put on a hanger goes onto the racks to dry (on foggy days, I have the racks in my living room. It works just as well). Now, some things just "need" a dryer to finish - like jeans and towels, to keep them soft. Or, sometimes I don't have the time to wait for an item of clothing to dry naturally. So, I bought this little dryer. I take my jeans and towels when they're still just a little bit damp, pop them into the dryer for 20 minutes and they're done. I highly recommend this product - but looking over my review, I think I recommend the spin dryer even more!

Independence!
I have only had this dryer for about 10 days now, but I'm very happy with it! There is one other review for this dryer and in it they say it takes a long time for the clothes to dry... this is true. But I think it's to be expected since this dryer can simply be plugged into any outlet unlike a normal dryer. So, smaller dryer... less power... longer drying time. The reason I'm giving this unit 5 stars is because if getting out the laundry mat is as important to you as it was to me, then the extra drying time is more than acceptable. Also, this dryer is VERY QUITE, simple to use and set up. For the first 5 loads I just had the machine sitting on the floor near a window - I didn't even have the hose out the window. It did get my apartment a little warm and humid (not since I've put the hose out the window of course), but I'm just making the point that it is very easy to set up.
How long does it take to dry clothes? I'm still trying to get all the drying times down myself. But I'm having much better luck using the timed dry instead of the auto dry. On auto drying it does seem to take hours before it finally stops. So I've just started to try and figure how long certain things dry. For example, my sheets (fitted bottom and the top sheet) I'm drying now between 60 or 90 minutes. On both times the sheets are close to dry and hanging them up for a little longer is enough. I guess this review is a little premature since I don't have the dry times down yet. But I have the feeling 90 minutes will dry most stuff about 90 percent.
I think once I make the adjustment and get things organized drying will not be a hassle at all. And for me the extra fiddling I have to do while drying in my apartment is so much better than having the hassle of organizing taking everything out of apartment, waiting, digging up quarters, using a machine that has been used 10,0000 times instead my nice new machine.
