![Best Portable Clothes Dryer | Top 7 Reviews [Buying Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HuHKigNxuRc/mqdefault.jpg)
I use one of those washers here on my off grid place. To save a bit of water I use the rinse water from the first load to use in the wash cycle on the next load. I usually have at least 2 loads to do so it saves me 5 gallons of water on each subsequent load.
Exactly what we do! We start with the items least dirty and go from there. We love our washer,
I use one of those washer spinners also in my home to save energy and in my camper... and I do the same thing to save water.
Brilliant! And if there's lawn, the last rinse water won't hurt it. Detergent cuts dead grass decomposition build up.
Now that’s what I call a true recycler’s mindset. 👏 You could also then use the dirty water to flush down the toilet preserving one’s fresh water for other needs. I collect rainwater for toilet flushing as well. 💦
This dryer looks great! It took longer with the full drum, and jeans definitely take more to dry then t-shirts, for example. For an off-grid option, this is fantastic!
Overfilled it
2 loads would be 1/2 hr.
That's what we were thinking. If it was Tshirts and socks it may take 15 mins.
@@dennisandbettygoinggoinggo5212 yes even a full-size home dryer takes longer if the drum is filled up. I was shocked it was able to dry those pants. What a great gadget to have on the road or for an off-grid cabin!
You need a channel for info commercials
Eric,
Just saying:. My house electric dryer does a load of jeans or towels for an hour. So I don't see anything wrong in the length of time it took to dry your britches. It was a "full load"in it's calculations. So it, to me, works great. Maybe the 15 minutes would work for sheets or t-shirts. They are not so heavy.
Take care and safe travels to you and the kitty club!
Its website says due to the vacuum technology it drys 60 percent faster than a normal dryer so it 15 minutes should have been plenty. I wonder how long the Arizona desert would have taken to dry them on a clothesline?
@@r3x2b0 clearly the vacuum is a gimmick when it took a hr to finish the jeans that where aruldy threw a high speed spinner that removed 99% of the water. there where just slightly damp at that point.
In 2001 to 2004 we used those little washers in Iraq and Afganistan as active soldiers. These worked very well. The spinner was always first fail but they would last 6 months or more of running 10 to 15 hours a day. Soldiers would "book" the washer all day and night.
lucky you can buy the spinners stand alone
I would have put one pair of jeans in at a time. It was kind of hard on the machine for those heavy items. but it's pretty cool.. and my dryer at home takes 2 runs to dry heavy jeans like those.
I really like my washer/spin machine. I've been using it for 2 years or better. I don't know if I would ever buy a dryer like this since I tend to hang up my damp clothes either in the sun (the original solar dryer) or in the bathroom in my sticks n bricks. Thanks for sharing this new product as I do like to see new technology even if I don't use it personally.
Two pairs of jeans is a tough deal. When I'm on the road and use those machines in supermarkets or service stations, the drier is enormous, but still takes 1 hour to dry jeans and towels. Also, much of this depends on how good your spinner works. If you have the space, this looks like a good product.
jeans threw a high speed spinner shouldent have took a hr. my normal dryer would have done it in half the time. so there is no saving there. it might use less power but its twice the time.
I already have a washer and dryer in my motorhome. But I did buy the countertop dishwasher and I love it. Thank you for the video.
Two pairs of jeans are real heavy material. You might try a sweatshirt and a couple of t-shirts and see what that takes. Interesting video. Take care of yourself, Tara and Opie
My thought in a regular dryer it takes a while to dry jeans. I definitely like the idea to have washer (with hookups for water) and dryer instead of public use. I looked into this washer and definitely love the dryer… have to add to my bucket buy list!!😃
you should search for thunderfoot morus here on youtube. He has busted these "vacuum" dryers. Overpriced hair dryers is what they look like in my opinion.
Jeans are the heaviest. But maybe takes a lot less time with shirts and lighter things.
Eric, clothes as heavy as jeans and Carhardt will take longer. You might want to test on lighter items like tee shirts and sock to see how long they take. At any rate, they should get the clothes mostly dry and you could hang dry afterward.
he put them threw a high speed spinner they where slightly damp at that point. its clear the whole thing is a gimmick and isn't any better then a normal dryer hell its worse.
Love this Idea! The convenience, you're right. But hey they are jeans....takes about 1hr in a regular dryer.
I would hang the clothes using clothespins then use that to fluff and remove wrinkles.
I’m not surprised on the dryer. 2 pairs of jeans is probably the heaviest load it will encounter once you get used to it. Jeans & towels are made of (usually) heavy cotton and even under normal circumstances would take the longest to dry. 2 tee shirts might go a lot faster. Lightweight fabrics like polyester would go even faster. You might have to go with 1 pair of jeans at a time. 👖or 👕👕😁
Two pair of jeans in a house drier takes longer than other types of clothes. You didn't open to check if the jeans were drier sooner, so IMO they could have been sufficiently dry. I think you have a winner with the portable drier as long as you have the power, WHY NOT ? Thanks for the demo.
I'd use the washer, but would prefer the clothsline method.
The dryer may still dry things like shirts and underwear and sheets and pillow cases and things like that in 15 minutes heavy clothes and other things like that will definitely take longer to dry
If thats like a home dryer, the effectiveness is directly related to how clean the vent filter is. If there's any lint, it impedes the air flow, thus taking longer to dry since the moisture is blocked from escaping. Take it from a mom/grandma of over 46 years and very experienced that the laundry takes much longer than it should because the kids, dad or grandkids didn't clean the lint filter. All males, lol, gotta be honest. Happy drying Eric! 🌬🌬🌬👕👖🧦🩲👖👕🩲🩲🧦🧥🕙🕓
I actually found you by looking up the washer machine lol
Thunderfoot did a couple of vids on how awful this product is. Go watch
Eric when companies reach out to you with products for RVing That we would normally not know of I appreciate you sharing them with us. I really appreciate it when they attach a discount code lol. Please whatever you do don’t stop these reviews they truly mean a lot to the people that actually RV/camp.❤
Thanks Eric, cool gadget not for me $599.99 I will keep going to the laundry matt
$$$599.99 I could start going to the dry cleaners and have it done pressed and covered on a hanger
They sell washer dryer all in one 24 inches wide that would take up less space. Just make sure you buy one that is vented ONLY. NO Condensate models.
I’m impressed! We purchased a brand new dryer about a year and a half ago (residential for our home) and it takes over an hour with a full load. A portable at an hour makes sense to me. It’s not a residential. It’s portable. I’m sold when we eventually sell our home and hit the road full time.
Thanks for sharing this!
Nomadic fanatic the infomercial channel lol
This was a nice review of the cute little dryer. Jeans are tough to dry even for full size dryers in a home setting. I would try it again with tee shirts and see how it handles a lighter load. Hugs to the kitty cats.🐱🐱
Jeesh, you've become quite the salesman lately, Eric!
NO dryer will dry jeans in 15 minutes ;) You chose the hardest items of clothing to test this dryer. I I used a "twin tub" washing machine for decades- I'm an Aussie, and twin tubs were very well liked for their low water consumption, their ability to save the rinse water for the next wash, and their fantastic spin cycle. I am 67, and still prefer to hang my washing on the line ;) but I live way out in the sticks, so no dirty smelly air to deal with. 🙃
Looks like really cool technology. It will be interesting to see how it works. Maybe an update in 6 months? Keep the good stuff coming.
You go Eric! I use a rv rack that connects to lader. I also have combination washer/dryer. Keep videos coming. Hi Tari and Opie
I’m not sure a home dryer can dry jeans in 15 minutes.
My gas dryer takes 25 minutes. My electric took 55 minutes.
jeans threw a spinner cuts the time in half so it defiantly could. clearly this dryers vacuum is just a gimmick that does very little.
Wouldn't want to line dry clothes in the Arizona sunshine?
🇬🇧🦋absolutely fabulous... brilliant piece of kit , jeans take a long time in normal dryer ...😉love it so lucky 🍀 to have one ..certainly be looking into purchasing if I can get one in UK ..no more soggy clothes ... brilliant review .... love to opie and Tara as well ...
We also have a mini washer dryer. We were full time for a year and used it most of the time. I think you should have spun dry only one pair of jeans at a time. Also one at a time in your new dryer also. Do that test and see the time difference. I bet more air space in that dryer will be quicker.
Keep up the great videos Eric! Love you guys!
Looks really nice.
Morning Eric and Kitties...Hey that pretty neat. The shoe dryer would definitely come in handy
Enjoy seeing the gizmos. Meow meow Tara and Opie
Nice! I have a spinner (can't remember its name yikes. Starts with an A) that spins the bejeezuz out of clothing. A tip is to do spin after wash. So when you're done rinsing, you keep the rinse water for your next wash cycle.
Good vid! Thanks. I hate laundry. Why do I love travel washer videos? 😂
They must have sent a bunch of these out for free, this is the 4th review I've seen on them on UA-cam this week.
You are doing a good job setting up things!
It sounds great! If I was drying 2 jeans at home it might take as long too! Jeans are slow to dry too! Lots of tshirts might be a better test of the 15 mins. Anyway, I still think that's a win :)
I have a washer just like that one. I can tell you from experience them jeans were to wet to dry in that dryer in 15 min.
Come down to Mesa!
70 degrees through the winter!
I personally love to hang my laundry out on a rack in the Arizona sun! ☀️😉🇺🇸
I love it! It would be good for a small apartment too. Not really sure how it’s off grid, since it requires 110 V, but I guess it would be if your rig is solar and inverted, or you have one of those nice little portable batteries/power station. But the appliance itself is not necessarily off grid from what I understand you saying. Makes a perfect companion to the portable washer.
An hour for heavy jeans is not unreasonable. It would probably take 45 min in the laundromat. I think the 15 minutes is just a suggestion or starting point.
Thanks for showing it to us, Eric!
I love the washer and that dryer👍
Cool product.
Glad it works.
Another Great Video
Thank you Eric, that's a cool dryer! Going to buy one for my daughter in her apartment! ;-)
Thanks for the review 👍, jeans and towels are heavier material so naturally will take longer to dry, so the time is actually not bad..
It's 6 2 ° here Eastpoint , Mi.
Sun's shining like no tomorrow.
Rained Halloween 😞☹️ 🤪🤷
New Carhartts 💪 heavy material.👍😁
I absolutely love my dishwasher from Your review. I ordered it the very same day. Thanks Eric 👍🚐😊
Hello Kevin
Good Review
I like it. OPIE Says Another pooper. don't leave the door open ,
Try less stuff in dryer.
Try 1 shirt , 2 socks & 1 Jean's & Speedo from that day , for a better test . 2 Jean's is a lot , less room to circulate air. Its Sunny & 70 in St Louis
Camp Safe
You’re lucky Eric. The rains in the PNW have started for the year. From here on out, the PNW is now raining til July 5th.
Hey Gm Eric that is something I'd add to my Rv journey because it saves you money
Hanging it out to dry on a dead juniper is what we do. True off grid using no power.
Wow I like that dryer. I like all your product reviews as they are extremely useful. I’ve purchased a lot of stuff you’ve endorsed and I’ve always been satisfied. Good job Eric as usual.
I like your product reviews. Especially this one, as I have been looking into an off grid dryer. I think I will be sticking with using good old air to dry my clothes after seeing the time and lack of space this dryer offered. Also, the price is WAY over budget even with the discount offered on the site. ( It’s more than what I paid for a full sized washing machine)
Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
One hour and 8 minutes is a lot better than 2-3 hours for the combo washer dryers to dry a couple pairs of jeans.
A few years ago I saw a review on this type of tech dryer. It basically rejected it. "Technically" ALL driers are Vacuum driers, as they have a fan pulling air through the drier to dry the clothes. (The one that was being reviewed claimed it dried with "vacuum" power, yet pulled virtually no vacuum in the unit.)
It was really, maybe, only good for small loads. (a tshirt, socks, undies, shorts. Basiclly a 1 person 1 day load.) and was convenient for that, but was, NOT better than a regular drier. I.E. if you dry 5 daily "loads", it would take just as long, (If lot longer) than a regular drier would take doing all 5 loads at one time. And if you dried heavy clothes, Like jeans or sweat shirts, big towels, it took much longer to dry.
I Found my Cat Eric! Figured i would let you know ha. And Thats pretty ingenious about how that drier works by using Vacuum. Pretty Cool!
For an off-grid option, this is great!
that looks pretty cool !
The dryer looks great...it might not take long with other type clothes..
I have that washer, love it. I only use 5 gal at a time but dont load heavy things in it. Most my stuff is light weight. Maybe one thing at a time would have dried better. That was heavy stuff for such a little thing.
@Nomadic If You LAY Those jeans in there ... then the next pair it would have taken ALOT LESS TIME! Take One pair from Washer GENTLY FOLD THEM IN HALF ... LAY IN Dryer .... Get the next pair Fold Once GENTLY LAY Them on the other pair Opposite direction! Yours Wadded 2gether so took MUCH Longer to dry! Love Yah Little Brother
Closeline or clothsrack.we have the portable washer..cloths pins are a necessary tool also.
I like the reviews it helps me and other campers so it means a lot!! Thanks Eric xoxo Opie and Tara 💖
Thanks for the review. I would point out that, on a sunny day, and being Arizona, could try the old fashion clothes line. I use it here in Louisiana at home base, even thought I have a working dryer..
I would imagine it would dry quicker if you didn't overload. The time to do two pairs of jeans separately might be less than doing two together. Could end doing laundry everyday instead of once a week.
Cool little dryer! However, just wanting to point out that your jeans would have probably dried almost as quick by hanging them in the sun (particularly the Arizona sun... ;)
I think you also have to take into account that you're outside too in 50°F . Usually a dryer is in a warmer temperature inside a building. But I like the idea of it being light enough to take outside and run it so that the moisture isn't venting into the RV. I think it's a great machine and is super handy... know several people that are happy with it. I bought a panda dryer when I lived in my RV. I wanted to be able to wash and dry my blankets, and the panda was big enough. I couldn't carry it outside though and it took up more room that the Morus dryer. Also used a small apartment sized white chef portable washing machine. Both were great machines.. but you have to have a large travel trailer or a 5th wheel to accommodate their size.
Thank you for another awesome video Eric
I remember your washing machine and wondered what happened to it. Gave away , sold ,stopped working ......Don't know how far to a laundromat for large/heavy items. Happy suds !
That's so cool looking dryer 😎❤️
Line dry in 20 minutes..would be nice for unmentionables and smaller items,cause they take longer hanging up and taking down than this could dry them.
I have a solar powered clothes dryer.. it's a clothes line.
Game changer.
My buddy and I have off grid houses in AZ and my buddy uses a regular gas 120 volt dryer not hooked up to gas. He just runs the dryer through 2 cycles and the cloths just air dry with doubling the time. During the day we make pleanty of power to run the electric motor for the dryer all day long so he doesn't care that it takes twice the time to dry a load of cloths, but we are in AZ where there is little to no humidity which is key.
Thanks Eric
The dryer is too small. Those jeans are gonna be sooooo wrinkled when they come out of it.
Yes they might actually dry better if he had taken and shook them out a bit.
As long as it dries the clothes properly I wouldn't really care how long it takes. I think it's great for something to use especially off grid. The size of the unit is perfect for an RV. But I'm sure if you had a couple of shirts it would have done it a lot quicker. Even in a regular dryer jeans can be time consuming. Once you're fully set up on your property you'll probably wind up having a regular conventional washer and dryer anyway. But it is great for RV purposes or traveling as you have demonstrated.
wish they would make one that plugs in to a diesel heater
Awesome video Eric! 💯
ERIC TARA AND OPIE ❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO 💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for the real time review
I’m sure if you hung them on a line it would take longer
New Carhart's and jeans... I am impressed at that time!! Regu-lar teeshirts and underroo's... I imagine that 15 minutes is achievable!!
It’s similar to the SPLENDIDE washer/dryer combo. For jeans, fold them in half and put in dryer. They will dry faster and not have all the wrinkles.
Great review! For myself, since jeans are so thick and heavy, I would only wash one pair maybe with some real light things, or wash one pair and dry, and then another; it might have cut down the drying time considerably. It would probably dry socks and several underwear, maybe even a couple to t-shirts a lot quicker. Again, very informative, THANKS!
I like it!
Eric I too have they same Motor bike 🏍 RACK. GOOD to see you added two more stabilizer bars for better support. 👍
Those washers like Kevin has are way less than $100 on amazon you just need to look further than the first page! also you can get a fully automatic one that you don't have to handle so much for about $200 and it is awesome i use one in my regular home!
GTK 👍
I love these Eric. I have bought stuff because of your reviews. Never listen to the negative Nancy.
cool vid thanks lee
Ausia has one of these ! Check with her ! Unless she got rid of it, she showed us and did a mini review and walk through with us.
Even a full size house dryer isn't going to dry denim in 15 mins. They take about an hour as well. This dryer would work for small loads. Probably better to just hang dry heavy denim items.
I probably would have dried the carhartt pants alone so there would be more air flow around and through them. . In my experience using laundro mats, jeans always take longer to dry. Carhartts are like jeans on steroids.
"It takes a little longer …" A little longer? It took almost 5 times as long Eric! 😂
Awesome never seen one of those dryers, I have heavy duty pants at home, and they don't dry even in 30 minutes...Thx
Should have used the Spin cycle a few times before putting in dryer. Also, only 1 pair at a time in dryer they won’t wrinkle as much.
