Customers consistently note the Companion 2.6 Cu. Ft. 3-Cycle Compact Electric Dryer's convenient size, perfect for smaller spaces, and quiet operation. However, a common complaint centers around longer than expected drying times. Some users also mention limitations with the dryer's capacity for larger loads. The dryer's small size is a benefit for some but a drawback for others depending on their needs.

Upon delivery unit was damaged and with nothing in stock to replace it I opted for the discount since the unit was working. It does take longer to dry and only small loads but it does the job and a decent dryer for an apt with no hookups. I found using the heavy duty option instead of timed dry seems to work better. All in all, I'm happy I purchased it. Sits on top a table, pretty quiet and has saved my back from lugging laundry up and down stairs to a community laundry room.

Bought it for my son's apt. and he loves it. He hated waiting for a washer and dryer to be available in his complex. You do have to do smaller loads and on heavy items (like jeans) he will dry it part way and then hang it on a rack because it takes much longer to dry.( conserve energy) It is small enough to fit in his hall closet. He does vent it out of his bedroom window. He recommended it to his friend. P.S. I also bought a Haier portable washer.

Takes along time to dry

I've had this dryer for about 3 years. So far it continues to work. It's quiet. The only thing I don't like about it, is that even on the 'High' setting, the dryer barely gets warm, so it takes along time to dry things.

Using it in a small apartment, ventilated inside through a 15 dollar water based filter bucket. Works like a charm, dries very well as long as you don't put more clothes in than it's designed for. Doesn't get super hot so it won't shrink your clothes near as much as most dryers. Very efficient, convenient, and reliable. Buy this thing!

Looked smaller inside than really is. I can fit a queen size comforter in and is dry at end of regular cycle. Love how light it is. Lifted it myself and hooked up myself. Perfect size for a couple.

I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment now and this is a good dryer for what I need. It does take a long time to dry things (a few towels can take almost an hour and a half), but it gets the job done. Doesn't run my electricity bill up either.

dryer was broken, ridiculous policy

first of all, i was told that i would be contacted and that i could choose my delivery time. this morning i was in bed when the delivery person called and said that they were downstairs in front of my building!!
the dryer looked great, but i noticed that when i turned it on, there was a scraping noise and then it stopped.
i called thinking that since this was best buy, there would be great customer service options. i envisioned them offering to come out with a new machine and take the old one away. instead, they told me to pack it back up and they would send UPS out. when it got back to their facility and was processed, they would send another unit out.
it is just really frustrating. my dryer broke, i waited for a week without one and then when it comes, it is broken.
this is a great dryer. i had the last model for over three years. it is just the refusal to make things easy for the customer that i find unacceptable.
