MANATEE Clothes Dryer 1200W Portable Electric Laundry Drying Rack 33 LB Capacity Best Energy Saving (Anion) Folding Dryer Quick Dry & Efficient Mode Digital Automatic Timer with Remote Control

I really like this product. It took me awhile to decide on which particular brand to go for, as there was so much choice and the prices varied. However, I am very happy with this purchase. It does what it is supposed to do and it looks good. I love the way it can fold away in one simple movement, which leaves me with space and means this product does not take up space unnecessarily. One tip I would give other people is, if your airer does not fold up easily, you may have put it together incorrectly, as I note a lot of the reviews say that it is difficult to fold this up, but this is really not the case when you put the product together properly. I will note however, the instructions are of very poor English which did make it quite time-consuming to figure out how exactly to put this together, but it’s worth it in the end! Brilliant for getting clothes dry quickly.

Not having a garden or any outside area, drying clothes is a major problem. This is the ideal solution to that problem. The only alternative is regular visits to a laundrette and let's face it, not everyone leaves the machines in a state in which you'd wish to find them. It drys very quickly even on the lower setting. Admittedly not as fast as the tumble dryers at the laundrette, but you don't have to sit around waiting for it to finish. I watched the video on how to put it together, but to be honest I don't think I'd have had any problems if I hadn't. Don't bother with the remote control unless you have problems reaching down to the main controls. You'll probably lose it long before the battery runs out. The "anion" option is supposed to produce negatively charged static in order to not attract other particles, but I suspect this may be a bit of a gimmick. Either way, it's not going to do any harm. For the price, if it means no more time wasted in a laundrette, it's got to be worth it.

I have had the product a couple of days and dried a couple of loads of washing.Pros: It folds up.It's very light.It's easy to assemble and disassemble.Quieter than a conventional tumble dryer.Cons: It's not a nice colour, grey, black, white, beige, any options at all would have been nice.Unlike a tumble dryer, the hot wet air comes out the top and into the room rather than into a reservoir or tube.About as expensive as a second hand tumble dryer.You NEED coat hangers to really make use of the space inside.The time required to dry stuff is longer than the description. The instructions are a bit more realistic, think upwards of 100 minutes rather than 45 minutes as an example.My experience: The description makes a big deal about assembly, specifically to view the YouTube videos. It wasn't needed to watch the videos but they gave me the confidence to power ahead and build it. The man in the video assembles it alone, as did I though I am quite tall. Perhaps if you are smaller or less physically able, assistance would be required.I used it to dry a bunch of t-shirts, it worked well. I was then drying a lot of socks and 4 pairs of jeans, I am a 34" leg, on coat hangers (using pegs) I still had to fold my jeans over a little they would be touching the fan at the bottom otherwise. It took just over 2 hours to dry the socks and jeans thoroughly.My package was missing a remote (I don't imagine that's a common problem) and I contacted the seller who promptly offered to send out a replacement with zero fuss. Despite missing the remote I was able to operate the dryer via the display on the electronic unit.

I don't know what the other reviews were talking about with this being easy to put together and brilliant for drying clothes. We are on a pay as you use meter so we can see exactly how much electricity is being used. This uses SO much electric it's a joke to call it eco friendly. It took and entire DAY, to dry some socks and underwear. Shirts, trousers everything, were still wet by tye end of the day. I had to hang them outside and hope it didn't rain. The frame is so flimsy, just moving the bloody thing makes the poles pop out of the joints. The blue cover did NOT fit the frame, it would go over. We followed the instructions to the T and took it apart and tried multiple ways, the poles had about and inch too much in length for the cover to cover it. The dryer is a glorifies fan heater.... the heat does not distribute evenly and there's nowhere to put it as the frame doesnt have a holder to keep it in place. So it slips off and slides around. I'm returning it as it was am utter waste of time and money. Believe wheb I say, save your money and just splash out on a tumble dryer. We settled on a condensor dryer. As you do not need to put the hose outside. It's all built in. It's buy Hotpoint and ordered on amazon. Came well packaged and within a few days.Can't cut corners on some things.

I absolutely love this product (incl the name Manatee). Our tumble dryer broke recently and it was a nightmare to get all our washing dry considering the bad weather we've been having. I decided to buy this item and I am absolutely delighted with it. It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. Much much cheaper than a new tumble dryer, no heaving lifting - just a quick assembly and it's ready to use! All the clothing keeps that just-washed fresh smell, nothing shrinks in this dryer, and there's no need to iron anything afterwards! I don't think I'll ever go back to using a tumble dryer ever again because this product is marvellous.

Bought this as a compromise to a dryer. It works, takes about 3 hours to fully dry a load of washing at the maximum heat setting. My electricity bill however has doubled since I started using it so I would keep that in mind before purchasing. Just to give you an idea, I use it for 15 hours a week and in a month that increased my electricity usage by 100 units.
