My partner and I have been using this dryer in our small NYC apartment since November and could not be happier. We have the countertop washer as well and between the two, we have not stepped into a laundromat in months. The capacity is not huge, and yes, the drying takes longer than a regular machine would -- but my electricity bill has not changed despite frequent use, the machine is really quiet, and we love that we get to warm our towels and dry small items through our daily needs without worrying that we are being wasteful. 1010
