Those machines are just far too small to be useful. |

Americans have long had access to small portable dryers by Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, etc... And yes, they aren't in same league as their larger cousins, job will be done if one does things properly.
No, won't be drying huge duvets or whatever; but for a small loads of personal clothing, bed/table linen, etc... they are acceptable. Far more so to many than draping or hanging wet laundry about the place. www.amazon.com/Whirlpool-... |

Yep, Whirlpool and GE Spacemates are even better (even being small if compared to a full size dryer) But also both Whirlpool and GE models are on a price range a little bit above the average for a mini dryer. That`s why I asked, how does it compare to the Chinese ones? |

Along with other portable/compact dryers; often going for very little money.
Older dryers pulled slightly more power and are quite well built. At most you'll need to maybe open the thing up, give it a good cleanout and maybe a new belt. But then the thing will be good for another twenty or thirty years. Vintage units by Whirlpool (also sold as Kenmore) are rather well built and good dryers for their size. At most the older models will lack true two heat settings, and perhaps are timed dry only (no moisture sensors), but otherwise... |

Oh yes, for dryers the bigger is always the merrier. But when the space is very limited (Some people literally live in 25 square meters studios), each centimeter counts. |

If you are short of space these dryers are great !! they stem from the 1980`s and where first released by Philips, taken over by Whirlpool and then a management buy out which formed Crosslee PLC in 1986. They operate out of the same Philips factory in Halifax Hipperholme. Been selling these years.
So they have a great track record, I had one in a slim laundry cupboard in a London apartment, had a Philips Whirlpool slimline autowasher and one of these dryers sat on a shelf over it. Was perfect for what I needed it to do. A great pedigree.....Thomas let me know who you are speaking with, we know the team very well !! CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

Hi Kevin Yep, exactly this dryer, but of course with a different cosmetic design on the control panel. Off topic: I'm saving that thing you asked me to save for you. |

I believe what he meant was to use the Union Jack,(the first image) instead of the English flag(second image).
In the UK, there are flags representing each country that makes up the UK(United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Britain is only England and Wales, Great Britain also includes Scotland as well. The UK adds N. Ireland, too.
The plain English flag is the Cross of St. George, when you add the Scottish flag, known as the Cross of St. Andrew and the Irish Cross of St. Patrick, you get the Union Flag AKA the Union Jack. |
