5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly sturdy

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The dryer is light, but actually quite sturdy. Fits together nicely and it's easy to put together. Can be used with or without timer. I had a different brand one before, and it stopped working properly- this one is a replacement and I'm very happy with it so far. Decent capacity- can fit a normal sized wash. Dries totally in about 3 hours, including harder to dry items like jeans and towels. I recommend making sure to spin out your washing before hanging in the dryer. A very handy aspect is that you would barely ever need to iron anything dried in it, if ever. I did find the zip a bit dodgy on the cover, but I can get over that as everything else is high quality. It saves on electricity compared to a tumble dryer, and it's much more gentle on clothing. Definitely recommend.

Well worth the money. Easy to use, easy to assemble, not ugly, heats up the room it's in, low noise and doesn't cost much on the meter. It's quite sturdy and I reckon it'll last a few years.It's a must have in the winter when you can't hang your clothes outside. From towels, to linen shirts to BJJ Gi's, this drys them all (the time varies depending on how thick the fabric is.

The DrySoon Heated Clothes Airer Drying Pod, does what it says on the tin pretty well.My main use for this is to dry shirts, and it does that fine. However, I find that the shirts tend to come out rather stiff and wrinkled. I prefer not to use a fabric softener but will be adding a softener to washes, where I know the items will be dried in the pod. I was a bit surprised that the items were so creased, as a supposed selling point is that garments require less ironing if dried in the Pod. That is certainly not my experience to date.A quick solution may be to finish for 5 minutes in the tumble drier to let a lot of the creases fall out prior to ironing.Apart from the above, it's a good enough product. Does heat the room slightly, which is actually a benefit for me, but if you are drying in a very small room, I would suggest leaving a window open to let some of the moist heat escape.Easy to assemble and use. Dial is a bit stiff but will probably get more loose as time goes on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dry soon

Bought this because conscious of costs of heating and drying. Value good doesn’t dry as quick as a dryer although costs much less to run and dries at a much lower temperature . When drying you have to open and rotate the hangers according to which pieces of.clothing is drying . But overall very good and it packs away when not in use. I do a lot if my daughter and her children’s washing tj stop them having damp clothing hanging in their house . So tip would be to open windows when on . I didn’t notice the amount of moisture either my dryer because it’s vented . So ventilate the room the dry soon is in .

I have waved goodbye to the nightmare of wet clothes for days in my home.The pod is compact in design and the wet clothes are hidden.It is easy to put together and take down once drying is complete but if I had the space I would keep it up all winter.Even so, a few minutes 'faff' especially with the legs, is so worth it.I have found that clothes dry well without creases and therefore my ironing time has reduced.I fill it as instructed and clothes, especially loungewear like thick joggers/tops and jumpers dry very well and within hours along with many other items.I bought my pod in summer when it was on offer, ready for Winter.I don't have a smart meter so I've yet to compare my electricity output but I use it for 4/6 hours, one day a week as there's only two of us.The heat from the pod warms up my Kitchen/diner too.However, I know it will be worth every penny to wash clothes, dry in my pod and put clothes away within an afternoon.That is priceless.

Item arrived very quickly but is used and shows signs of use by being dirty with damaged packaging inside.I called Lakeland customer services thinking I had bought something from them and they state that the item is actually sold and shipped by Bolo, despite the advert and invoice showing it is sold by Lakeland, so the only support you get in the first 12 months is from Bolo, not from Lakeland which means you can’t take it direct to a store to exchange.Not at all clear who I actually bought this from and Lakeland have no interest in sorting the issue so you’re left dealing with Bolo which is ok but it should be stated in the advert and paperwork.Lakeland did state they will honour the final two years of the guarantee directly
