Disadvantages
One of the major disadvantages of this unit is that it only comes in one color. Orange rust stains tend to be more easy to spot in lighter colors of dryer units compared to dryers in black and other dark colors. Even with the noise reduction feature, the unit is still noisy. Some users place a pad of felt under the unit to deaden the noise.
