I just bought one recently. Going to give it a go tonight once I remember to put a wash on. I'll get back to you.

From reading up on it, it does dry clothes but you need to keep and eye on them and it usually takes longer then the 3 hour timer, just set it permanently on and use a plug in timer. I also read not to use plastic hangers in it as they may slightly damage the clothes if you leave it on for too long. Don't try and dry too many different types of clothes as they won't dry at the same time and the damp smell can transfer.

I did research and TBH there are as many good as bad reviews. I don't have space for a tumble dryer and I have no outdoor access. I got fed up heating a room up at night to dry clothes.

Used it last night for about 4.5 hours with just t-shirts. It's very hard to load correctly so that clothes have space for air to get around to dry, I'm sure I'll figure it out with practice. The armpits where still damp, which was from the bad loading. It produced a huge amount of condensation, you definitely need to have your window open. It's also not whisper quite.

These are the same issues all the reviews I'd read had so nothing surprising there.

The one I have is 1.2kW not 900W like the ads. I used to just use my electric heater to warm the room to dry clothes but I don't know what wattage my heater is so not too sure which is cheaper, it's a standard electric heater used in apartments. But heating the room means I can dry more clothes much easier.

It's not really a load and forget device as you need to open it up to move the clothes around to make sure they dry properly, so my idea to run it purely on night rate will be difficult. So far I'm yet to be convinced and will have to get a decent multi meter to find out the heater wattage. If the heater is anywhere near to it I'll be bringing it back.

It's from JML, does that not mean that it looks like a great idea, but is actually crap?

Buy before you try then???:o

another few euros more and you could have bought a propper tumbler dryer that actualy dries clothes.;)

Or you could have saved 80 odd euro and put your clothes on your radiators for free.


Most of these JML things are utter scutter.
