Work as expected. Smaller capacity because it is only 120v But easy to move around if you want to. No frills dryer - no damp sensor etc but does its job

The dryer is decent enough and does great considering how small it is and the price.
The delivery and customer service are another story. The dryer came damaged cosmetically, but it was functional, so Best Buy initially offered me a gift card to make up for it and keep the dryer. I denied that offer and they are now working to exchange it.
When you purchase the dryer, it also requires to purchase the 30 amp dryer cord. THIS IS NOT TRULY REQUIRED. This dryer comes pre-installed with a 15 amp (normal household outlet) cord. I told customer service I wanted a refund for the $34.99 required power cord purchased, but the customer service rep argued that they never send a power cord. I even offered to send a picture of it being installed and plugged into a normal 120v outlet with the 15 amp power cord, which was turned down. After arguing with the person for several minutes, they finally agreed to refund me. The 30amp cord was never left at installation and it is currently plugged in with a 15 amp cord as can be seen in my photo.

Hopefully it will eventually work well, once we get it hooked up. The sizze is good for where we need it. We have had problem after problem with the store and now the motor assemby vent is all bent and split. All the lint will be getting caught. So waiting on repair to come replace it

I live in an apartment where I can’t have a regular dryer. this particular dryer that I bought from Bestbuy work so well because I don’t have to go outside to dry my clothes. I can do everything from home and it is easy, convenient and work excellent. I would recommend this product to anyone who live in a building that can use your 120 Volts. My clothes dry fast and with no wrinkle at all. Best money spent

I really like my GE space maker dryer. It dries my heavy clothes, queen size sheets and blankets very well in 30 minutes. However, if I stuff the dryer with too many clothes, my clothes come out really wrinkly. I would recommend using regular heat with dryer balls and bounce free and gentle to soften clothes and it will have way less wrinkles. I don't dry my queen size comforter in this compact dryer though. I clean out the vent after every use.
Good Buy. Using a stocking to collect lint in the back can cause a fire hazzard. Not recommended!!

Not happy with the size I wanted and the electrical cord which needs an extension cord for it to work! The door opens in the opposite side which is annoying! The dryer overlaps on the shelf it sits on!
Most of all, the entire delivery was delayed MANY times(three) & very frustrating to keep having to change my schedule!

Great Portable Dryer!

The GE - Spacemaker 3.6 Cu. Ft. 3-Cycle Portable Electric Dryer, is a great portable dryer. I purchased a new portable washer (GE- 2.* Cu. Ft.) and was a bit nervous about buying another portable dyer as most portables take a long time to dry clothes and and require micro loads to work properly, I was surprised by how quickly my clothes dried, each dryer load has dried by the time the washer finishes the next load...This machine is efficient, easy to use and quiet...If you have had portable dryers before, you know all this is close to miraculous!
I love my dryer, and there are only a few things that might be a challange for some folks:
Design Issues:
-GE Markets this dryer as portable, yet this bad boy weights in at 87 pounds!
-The wheels included with your purchase are one directional. Your new portable dryer only moves in two directions...forward and backward, and if you tried to move your hefty, 87 lb. friend left or right beware you don't nick or tear your flooring (Yep, did that!). Did I mention that the holes on the dryer don't match up to the screw holes on the wheels? Great dryer...Cheap wheels!
-Controls: Nothing to fancy, and that's not a problem, but the placement of the controls become an issue if you want to mount the dyer to a wall, place on a rack (don't do it- too heavy) or place on a large base (depending on your hight)...Because the control panel is on the top of the dryer.
Bottom line, I still love my GE - Spacemaker 3.6 Cu. Ft. 3-Cycle Portable Electric Dryer, and I think it's one of the best portable dryers...I just wish as much love went into the design!

No bells and whistles here, and GE cut all corners possible. The dryer itself works ok. But I'm comparing it the dryer that it replaced that was 10years old and shut off after 10min everytime I tried to use it. So compared to that dryer this dryer is ok. I had no choice but this dryer given space and wiring limitations, 120V outlet only, of the bathroom this went in. As it was going in a bathroom with a tile floor, not a carpetted closet or something, putting wheels that came with this dryer on was pointless, the dryer would have rolled all over tiled laundry room floor during operation. But in skipping that step, I didn't realize how jagged the bottom of this dryer is. My floor got completely scratched up during the set up. I eventually bought a plastic drain pan. That prevented the scratching when I needed to move it around. Better late than never.

Purchased this dryer for my for her apartment. It is amazing! It's small but a large loads & queen-size comforter fits perfectly with other items. Dry fast, one time and easy to clean. Ventless is the best. We had this years ago and decided buy it again and now one is being delivered as a gift. LOVE IT!

I have a small apartment that doesn't accommodate well for regular sized laundry units, so I went ahead and bought this dryer and a matching portable washer. This dryer does decent at drying but it does take a while for small loads. Typically I have to put it on for the 140 min high heat cycle. However, it does get the job done well with minimal noise! Very grateful that this solved my problem for laundry!

Best 110v Dryer Around. Difficult to Find Item!

Best 110v dryer around. Being that we have a 220v restriction, we wanted to find a 110v dryer that really performs well. It was a difficult find since most dryers require 220v. Not this one.
