Always make sure it has enough airspace around it. Don't put curtains or blankets on it while its running. Make sure it is vented all the way outside.
Thank you for a easy and not overwhelming video. And you are so pretty!
I stretch an old pair of panty hose or a panty hose stocking over the end of the hose that you put against the window in your video. I use a rubber band to keep it secured on the end of the hose. It collects the lint and you can clean it out when full and reuse.
i will try that :) thanks!
@@JuliaCaban About how tall is the dryer?
I got the same exact one & mine is in my bed room on my dresser & I vent mine out my window too
I have a portable washer and dryer in my house. I love them both
what brand for portable washer?
thanks for posting this.
Thank you for watching! :)
You are a big help lady!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching! 🙌☺️
Thank you very much for this information
Glad it was helpful!
I am considering getting something like this..I would like to know how many shirts can fit? I am sure not a load like a regular one but can you give me an idea?
ThankYou for giving us insight, I live in an apartment, was thinking of an dryer alternative cause I'll wash small clothes out on my hand's, I was seeking that there would be no complicated connection's to vent, and this appears to be very economical✅.
Thank you! :)
Hello, thanks for sharing your experience. Are you still using this dryer? Have a wonderful day!
I love your accent and thanks for the video
Thank you! 😃
I have the Panda dryer, also, for six months now. I have mine in my bathroom sitting on the second tier of a put-together shelf from Costco, it rocks a little. I don't vent it in the winter because I need the moisture, I also use dryer balls and not sheets. The only thing I dislike about it, is that it nearly draws 15 amps by itself. Nice to hear yours has lasted so long.
Might want to consider steadying it, to preserve the motor from being knocked out of whack. By securing it with appliance straps.
What kind of shelf did you use? I'm looking for one that can fit. Is it an over the toilet organizer?
@@LovelyKelly645 no, it's one of those plastic storage shelves people usually put in their garage.
I'd recommend a semi-rigid metal/aluminum vent hose. The vent hoses get really hot when you run the dryer and those plastic ones look pretty flimsy. I broke down and spent 700 bucks on a compact Whirlpool dryer last June. it's like a regular dryer but smaller and cute but still heavy duty. I stick the vent hose out of my kitchen area window and it works perfect, no humidity or hot air blowing in, just the fresh smell of fabric softener and the window screen catches all the lint. Hee hee!
Can you tell me if the metal vent hose makes a difference on how hot the dryer gets. In other words will the dryer perform better with a metal one
Does it run up the energy bill as a standard dryer?
Thank you so much ~ 😊👍
What size dryer do you have?
@juliacaban how about portable washer? thank you
Do you have to remove the screen from your window every time? How do you prevent the hose from falling off the window ledge?
I don’t remove the screen - it’s not necessary
What dryer do you have?
Hi, does that plastic part that connects to the vent come with the dryer or do you have to buy it separately?
Yes it all comes with the dryer so no need to buy anything additionally!
Hi Julia, I just wanted to let you know that the Teckin Smart WiFi SP20 plug no longer provides power consumption monitoring. I just set them up and couldn't find it in the Smart Life app. Went back to Amazon and in looking at the questions, a couple people explained that capability was removed about a month ago. So sad. Well, I will look for another brand. Thank you for even enlightening us about smart plugs! But alas, the Teckin no longer is our go to product. 😪
Hi Pamela, I just wanted you to know that my black+decker portable dryer arrived today. You should get one too.
@@Paperclown Congrats! I have a Panda dryer. So thankful for both. ❤
Do you have a 220 line??? I want to buy this dryer, but I need to know. Thanks for your help.
You plug it in to a regular 120 outlet.
There is a thingy that you can check the outlet electric with? ... I see people in my building having washer and dryers delivered ... But i don't think it was possible ... We don't have hook-ups here ... My main concern is the electrical wiring be right for the dryer ...
This portable dryer should work with any regular outlet (110v) - that's why i bought it, because i don't have NEMA outlet in that apartment
Thanks for the video. Is it 120 volt?
yes, it is! :)
Hi Julia is buying a dehumidifier necessary with this dryer even if I went through the window? Also I have seen where persons where saying the dryer can be harmful and cause cancers and lung problems I already ordered my dryer and waiting for it to arrive. What are your thought?
No, I don’t see a need for it, if you vent it through the window. Just make sure your room humidity level is below 50% and you all good
@@JuliaCaban I appreciate the comment, thank you
If my windows are not that low can I put a plastic bag to catch the lint in ?
People use some special buckets you can get at Home Depot but window is the best option
Does your dryer give off any decent, heat I have one and it never seems to heat up properly thankyou
Yes it does just as well as a regular dryer
How heavy is this dryer? I would like to get one upstairs. And what is the top wattage? Do not want to blow out my circuits.
it will work with a regular outlet 120v. its a lot lighter than a regular dryer but it is a little bulky
Is the 2.6 cu model much different than the 3.5?
just the size
What if I don’t have a window i can use as a vent
You can buy a box that attaches to the unit if you don't have a window. It traps anything from the machine in it. Can't remember what it is called but look on amazon or Ebay. Might be tumble dryer box or something like that.
Do it come with a plug in cord
yes it does!
Is it safe to use a bettervent brand, which is a indoor vent
never heard of it so I don't know, I was venting mine out the window
@@JuliaCaban okay thank you
Is the dryer loud ?? Do it make a lot of noise ?
I would say it's as loud as a regular dryer ;)
Question pls: does it dry %100 and the clothes are totally dry when u take them out?
yes! it works just as good as a regular full size dryer
I wonder if you can stack the portable dryer on top of the portable washer?
If you have a front-load washer then it's probably fine, but mine opens from.the top is it wouldn't work:(
T
Can you please provide me the name and model for this dryer. Thank you
I linked it in the description:)
I literally have the same machine I just purchased it and received it today but it's not heating up it's just air drying is that normal? Thank you
If you set it to hot air and it's not heating up, then I would call the manufacturer to check what could be an issue. My dryer would get super hot on the long hot setting.
Check the rubber seal around the door where it connects when you put clothes in mine fell off every time and it would cause the heat not to work. The area near the area u open door was real hot so why do they make the round rubber ring come off so easy
Hi , Julia! Hope all is well with you. I'm currently in the process of researching portable laundry machines. I've subscribed to your channel. I made a comment about your nice accent and asked a question ( where did you grow up?) i got no response. I truly hope I didn't offend you. it's just that I have a few friends named Caban from my hometown.
I’m so sorry! I didn’t see your comment earlier :( I’m from Poland 🇵🇱:)
What if u don’t have a window u can use to vent it.
Do you have dehumidifier? Otherwise it will make the room very humid and hot haha
Is there a way to not vent out the window?
It’s not advisable since your room will get pretty humid but some people in the comments said that they do it. I would just watch the humidity levels in the room - you don’t want it above 50-60%
Thanks for the tip sweet
You’re welcome 🌷
Dose it spin
yes
Does it make alot of dust/lint inside the room?
Good question! I would say it doesn’t make a big difference - competing my bedroom and living room dust levels ;) have to clean both rooms as often from dust. But the filter catches A LOT of lint - have to clean it after every use - it’s so full of lint.
Thank you very much, Julia. Hare Krishna!
How much elctric does it pull?
Electric
There’s a whole video I filmed sharing and breaking down the cost of electricity to run it - check out the playlist I I linked it in the description:)
"If" venting inside rather than to the outside is a possible issue, then one might want to have a full functioning carbon monoxide detector available?
“Can you get carbon monoxide poisoning from an electric dryer?
No, you cannot get carbon monoxide poisoning from an electric dryer. Carbon monoxide and the potential for poisoning can only come from home appliances that actually burn gas. Some examples of these appliances include: Gas dryers.”
Is the dryer supposed to get hot. It doesn’t appear that my clothes are drying.
It might be warm to touch but not hot. Did you check the dryer filter? It has to be cleaned after every load
@@JuliaCaban It’s brand new. And blowing out cold air. The company responded and asked me to send a video showing me using it. I used it again today and it was on from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and still did not get warm or hot. So I’m returning it as soon as possible.
No need to connect to water port?
no need, there's no steam function.
Mine keeps beeping and turning off... help😊
make sure its vented properly! it could be possible its getting overheated - the vent needs to be set up by the window for ideal conditions
@@JuliaCaban okay, it's super cold here right now (0-9 degrees Fahrenheit today) so no open windows.
Hi! Does it have to be a "portable dryer"?
The dryer she is explaining is a portable dryer... its effective but much smaller then a normal one... but you can can this same thing to a regular electric one if you have the hook up for it.
Your 👀 are so pretty. Great video and very informative.
Thank you for watching! 😊
Not venting at all could be hazardous. Health and environmental. A kitchen would be better wide space hose placed outside of a window.
Very. Very dangerous the way you have the unit stored.
Why is it dangerous? I’ve been venting it through a window in this room for over 2 years no issues
There’s no different from her window room than her kitchen window…! Bedrooms in apartments are bigger than kitchens at times.
2 o’clock to 6 o’clock and my socks and underwear are still not dry in the dryer and it’s only a couple pair of each. The dryer is not even half full. Something has to be wrong I’m sending mines back. My shirts and thermal pants I’ve dried on the vent in 15 minutes. It’s pointless for me to even have it especially in the winter time I can just put my clothes on the vents.
That is odd! Sorry to hear that :( My portable dryer was working as efficiently as regular sized dryer. Is the dryer vent placed outside your window?
I have wanted a portable dryer but I live in an apt and don't want to get caught with one
You can get in trouble with one?
I'd move then
Damn you're beautiful
That’s very sweet of you to say! Thank you!
Your phone is dirty? PUt it in the portable washing machine!

Green eyes.. Are you an original American?
This comment does not make a bit of sense! How does having green eyes make you an original American? Original Americans were the Indians otherwise we all hail from different ancestry. Did you bump your head?
@@Reborn_Enthusist native americans* not indians
Does this make your electicy bill go up?
