I purchased this dryer 6 months ago to fit in a small NYC city apartment that does not have a 220 volt line that you would need for a full size dryer. Based on a couple other reviewer's recommendations, I purchased it along with a separate clothes spin dryer that cost $150 including delivery. I use the spin dryer prior to putting the clothes in the Haier dryer -- 3 minutes of use and it removes a huge amount of water and allows me to dry a full load of heavy fabrics in the Haier in no more than 45 minutes. Lighter loads take 30 minutes tops. That's great performance out of a 110 volt dryer and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
A few caveats about this dryer following 6 months of use:
1. You MUST clean the two-piece lint filter after no more than two loads. If you don't, it cuts the heat of the dryer by at least 50%, and given that this machine is only operating on 110volts, it will take far, far longer to dry if you don't. I discovered this after I used it a few times and found it wasn't exhausting anywhere as near as hot as when I first used it. After some troubleshooting I realized the problem was due to only cleaning one of the filters. There are two separate filters that are attached to each other by a plastic disk. One of the filters is hard to clean and after a bit of frustration trying to clean it by hand and with a brush, I discovered that using a small hand vacuum very quickly cleans it. Now it just takes me a second.
2. It isn't as large as a full size dryer so if you are thinking about using it for more than 2 people, I would check around with other reviewers who are using it for a family to make sure it's practical for your needs.
3. There's a big difference between using a 110 volt and 220 volt dryer and I would strongly recommend buying an additional clothes spinner dryer along with this unit. (no, I'm not a shill for the manufacturer.) I would bet the savings on electricity will more than pay for the $150 cost in a short time, and the additional unit is small (@ 2' tall X 13" in diameter) so I am able to tuck it away under my bed. I haven't used this dryer without the clothes spinner, but based on a couple reviewers frustrations with long dry times, I'm guessing I wouldn't be as happy with this product without it. (There is only one company in the US that sells it but I guess for whatever reason Amazon doesn't want us posting other product links. If you google "clothes spin dryer" this product will pop at the top of search results.)
All-in-all really happy with this product and works perfectly for my needs.

The dryer is fine, but beware if something breaks. Our dryer has been broken since February (just a year shy of when we bought it). The factory recommended repair company came to our apartment several times to install a seemingly simple belt replacement, but Haier kept sending the wrong part - we even sent them a photograph of the broken belt and to no avail. When it was finally determined that it was the wrong part (THREE TIMES) Haier finally decided that they would send us a refund for the entire dryer. That was in June. This is now the end of September and we are still waiting.

This dryer was everything we expected for 6 weeks. At that point it died. Haier sent out a repairman promptly, and the problem was a burned out circuit board. He said he would order the part. After waiting 3 weeks without hearing anything, we again called Haier and were informed that the part was no longer available. We were told that they were going to try to find the part somewhere. Another week has gone by with no reply.
I think the best I can hope for at this point is that they will send us a new one or a refund. I certainly won't buy this brand again.

I live in an apartment with a closet designed for a stacked washer/dryer unit which I did not want to buy. Instead I got a full size top loading Admiral washer from Home Depot for $260 and this portable dryer for about the same price. I installed the smaller dryer on a large shelf above the washing machine. I hang dry most of my clothes but I needed a dryer to supplement my hang drying. Cleaning the lint takes 30 seconds but it does remove the lint well. It takes 3 times longer to dry a full size wash load due to the 120 volts and smaller size. I have to divide my full size wash load into 3 parts. If this bothers you...then you need a full size dryer. The controls are intuitive and I can't think of a single complaint. This is a 5 star product as long as you understand it's limitations. I love it because I don't have to visit the laundry mat and I don't have to buy an expensive and problem-prone stacked washer/dryer system.

I sell appliances for a living, so I know quite a lot about them. I bought one of the first little Haier washers 6 years ago, and ever since, I wished there was a matching dryer. Since my washer has held up so well all this time (never a problem and I use it LOTS), I decided to buy this dryer right away once I discovered it. I've had it about a month.
Let me tell you about dryers: Get the biggest one you have space for, same as for washers. and you'll be happier. I move often and I tend to rent small places, so this is the only one to consider; It's either this or drying racks! All the other portables currantly out there are bigger and more cumbersome than this one. This one truly is portable in that I can pick it up and carry it easily. But, it will not hold as many clothes as the bigger ones. It is, however, perfect for the little Haier washers.
If you want faster drying times, be prepared to have a 220v or gas line installed. (Your landlord will go for that, sure!) Otherwise, 120v portable dryers are going to take, on average, 90 minutes per load. The flip side of this is that you can operate it almost ANYWHERE, and your landlord doesn't even need to know you have it!
120v dryers also do not have to be vented outside. They do not produce nearly the lint of larger dryers. You can if you want.
Tinier dryers may produce an extra wrinkle or two over largers ones. They don't have as much room for tumbling, so, be sure not to overload this one. That will also affect drying time. No dryer should be filled more than half full of wet clothes, unless you like ironing out wrinkles.
I ordered this from Amazon, thinking that I was getting the one with the window and the dial. Instead, I got the one with the electronic controls, which is the nicer one. I'm not sure the window/dial version is available anymore. This has all electronic controls with many little lights. Very hi-tek! It has a sensor dry feature that is usually accurate. Sometimes, I'll need to add some manual dry time afterwards, especially if I've mixed lightweight with heavier weight fabrics, as that throws the sensor off a little. Of course, keeping like-weight clothes together would be better.
There are 3 auto-dry cyles: Normal, Heavy, and Delicate. Use Heavy for Jeans and Towels. I'm not sure when I'll ever use Delicate, as 120v dryers only dry on low heat! That is why they take longer to dry. I believe that cycle uses an even lower heat. There is also timed dry available. Drying status lights (drying, cooling, done, and check lint filter) are helpful. It has an end-of-cycle signal. It does not have a drying rack, as some descriptions on the web have stated.
This, like my little washer, is surprisingly well-built! It has a metal body (I was expecting plastic). I think it will last a long time, hassle-free, just like my washer has.
My only real complaint is the lint filter. It seems fragile and it is the most bothersome one I've ever had to clean! There are two filters nested together, one fine and the other course, and both have to be cleaned. It is located on the back of the drum and doesn't pull off that easily. I imagine this is necessary, though, because of the dryer's small size. I wish Haier would have made a stronger, more convenient filter. THIS IS THE ONLY REASON I AM GIVING THIS DRYER FOUR INSTEAD OF FIVE STARS.
Overall, if space and portability are your chief concerns, Haier's small washers and this dryer are very, very good! I highly recommend them. However, if you have more space, and stay put for many years, get something bigger.
