The unit comes with the Energy Star seal allowing users to save as much as 10% in energy bills.

The unit is also stackable, which means that you can save up on space. The compact design makes this dryer perfect for small rooms. Finally, it dries efficiently, finishing up on a full load within 50 minutes. Smaller loads such as a load of towels can take as short as 20 minutes.

Disadvantages

One of the major disadvantages of this unit is that it only comes in one color.

Some users place a pad of felt under the unit to deaden the noise.
