Customer Ratings & Reviews

This dryer is VENTLESS! Yes, no vent to the outside. It uses the new technology to remove the moisture with, essentially, a reverse heat pump, and collects it into a bin in the top left of the unit (which you must dump after every load). However, you can also opt to install the optional drain line which allows the dryer to drain directly into the same drain as your washer and then you never have to empty the bin. It takes a little longer to dry than the old dryer (hence 4/5 stars), but is much more energy efficient, and all the air that used to leave your home (and come in from the outside and be either heated or cooled) no longer exits. The unit is smaller than most (hence 3/5 for load size), and is designed to fit in a laundry closet with small clearances beside and behind the unit. Just what we needed.

Excellent dryer! Low noise and energy saver. If you don't have enough space this is for you!

Was a little skepticle about a ventless dryer at first, but seems to get the job done of drying the clothes efficiently. Good size compacity of clothes you can fit in the dryer too. Only complaint is the water pump, in the dryer, went bad after only 1 year of use. Thankfully, I am a totaltech member and the repair was made under the 2 year extended warranty coverage. I would only recommend purchasing this type of a dryer if you are a totaltech member and have the extended warranty coverage. That is the reason for a 3 star review.

I gave it 4 stars since it works well and it has no any problem for now so far. It doesn’t consume much electricity too.

Love it! Easy to install, washes and drys very well.

perfect size and works great!!! We had a small space designated for laundry. Only one that fit!

This machine is ok if it works, but mine died about a month after the warranty was up. When it worked it took about 90 minutes to dry a small load, which makes it slightly less efficient than the sun on a nice summer day. After just over a year of using it 3-4 times a week it flashed error code e64, and is now inoperable. It would be really sweet if Best Buy took pride in their house brand and delivered quality products that didn't require the purchase of expensive service plans in order to keep functioning for more than a year. TLDR: Do not buy Insignia products.

Once again perfect size for my RV Park home. All of the options of the full size units in a package small enough to fit in my limited space.

When dryer was delivered and unboxed I said to myself; Oh, it is so small; stand is not included. My washer with the capacity twice larger, standing next to the dryer emphasized dryer size. However, how pleasantly I was surprised after opening front door; having capacity of 4.4 cuFt could fit my king size dow comforter. However, I did not have yet the opportunity to dry it. However, I already utilized dryer to dry my beach size cotton towels mixed with my cotton shirts. I simply selected towels settings starting drying process and I walked away. I am not a person staying next to the dryer waiting for dryer to finish drying cycle; I come back when I am ready. I have to notice that the dryer was not overloaded. When I came back after 2 hours, I live in Puerto Rico, my towels were still warm. To my very pleasant surprise cotton shirt did not have many wrinkles and my towels were fluffy and very soft in touch. This wasn’t happening with my previous electric dryer, because as I suspect towels when dried were exposed to much higher temperatures and shorter drying time making them quite stiff. Since the drain in the room my washer is higher than dryer discharge opening I have to empty collected water by hand, which is not bad at all, after each drying cycle. Also filters have to he removed and cleaned as in any other dryers; it is easy to remove and reinstall these filters. Also what I really like is dryer electrical power consumption. Even so drying duration is much longer than with my previous electric dryer the electric bill I just received is relatively 4 times smaller than when I was using my old dryer. Dryer’s noice level, when working is noticeable, but not excessive. In the last few months I purchased other Insignia appliances; dishwasher and beverage cooler that I like a lot, because they look and work great. In fact beverage cooling temperature is the lowest by about 2 deg. F from all coolers I considered for purchasing, which to me is critically important. I do not know how would I feel about these 2 appliances in a year or two, but for now I am happy with them. As to the dryer it gets 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for now; future will show if my satisfaction will last Note: There are only me and my girlfriend in the household. If your household is larger than you need to take capacity if this dryer; 4.4 cuFt into the account.

Would give 5 stars, but I don't really think the stacking kit is the best design or that the instruction manual is clear. But the dryer is perfect! Great compact, ventless dryer! Love that I can just put the condenser line in the drainline in the wall for the washer and never have to dump the resevoir! Lots of cycle choices and quick drying time for a compact, ventless!

It’s nice that we don’t have to figure out a way to vent the unit, all we have to do is empty the water reservoir after every cycle. For a compact dryer it can hold a lot of clothes in it as well. The problem is that it takes so long to dry. The timer is wrong on the unit no matter what. It will say that it takes 1 hour and 15 to dry a cycle but will actually take 2 hours. But since you are at home you can just relax, just don’t hope to knock out a big day of laundry in one day. I would recommend this item only if you would save money from figuring out how to vent a regular dryer.

Works good for small space. Takes a little bit longer to dry but also uses way less energy. Fits a pretty good load of clothes. Probably wouldn't be great for a big family but for one or 2 people it's good.

I have only had the dryer about a month and I am single and disabled so it doesn't get used a lot and I am only submitting this to be entered for the $400 drawing. I haven't really had it long enough to test durability or all the different functions. But as far as a Hear Pump Style/Condensing Dryer Goes it works Equally well to the Samsung I had Previously without the cracked base that leaked all over my floor and Samsung refusing to go or their warranty and telling me to return it to the store myself. I will come back and edit this later if the app allows me.

Very conflicted on how to rate this item, Best Buy may be mostly to blame as to this. I live in a condo and have to get a ventless dryer. The one that I got rid of was set up to drain directly into my floor drain. This dryer wasn’t set up this way even though I requested it, I was told it wasn’t possible by the installer. Later I saw that it can be set up that way in the instruction manual. I called Best Buy- they scheduled two more appointments to no avail- the “installers” don’t know how/ have the means to do it… when it’s clearly an option. I was told I was sent a master/ senior installer who still couldn’t figure it out… I have one more final attempt this Friday. The dryer dries way better than my prior dryer the clothing smells really good! My issue is who wants to keep emptying a water compartment? It has the option to drain directly and I want it set up that way! I’ve been totally frustrated with this purchase.

This dryer is perfect for my apartment closet no vent needed. I have it hosed to drain the water along with the washer but you can have it drain in to the unit if that isn’t an option. Has a ton of setting and works just as well as any other dryer.

Spacious, dries quickly, and operates quietly. recommended!

The dryer had an issue with the fan (see: bottom right on the front of the dryer) right out of the box. The fan would only turn on during the final 30 seconds of a cycle and would just make a loud buzzing noise similar to the condenser on a refrigerator for the vast majority of the cycle. Currently waiting on a technician to come down and see if it's fixable or if the entire unit needs to be swapped with a replacement. Aside from that it did dry my clothes without much issue but I only owned/used it for a single day before the fan issue popped up.

We like it its a Nice quiet washing machine. Got a lot of room and washes. The onlything we are not sure is its dispensing mechanism. It doesnt seem to be dispensing the detergents at all. But its a basic model. We are okay to just pour the detergent evenly ourselves.

Dryer works fine. It’s a heat pump dryer and works a bit differently than a normal dryer. We can dry a decent load of towels in about an hour and a half. We use it in the basement to dry items like dog bedding we don’t want in our regular set and this works fine for that. It’s fairly quiet and the clothes come out dry and I didn’t have to drill a hole in the house for a vent. What more can you ask for. It could use a pedestal if you’re not going to stack it. It’s very small.

I have had this dryer for two weeks, and so far i am pleased. It does take longer to dry things but does not need to be vented. I have been able to dry king-sized blankets in it!
