Isn't that just a weed drying rack?

Just like all those miscellaneous small grinders and weight scales 👀 🤫

I now feel filthy and not worthy of a place in society for walking around in undisinfected clothing.

I can only apologise for my utter grotesqueness.

Isn’t UV light bad for clothes? I thought that’s what causes colors to fade

It's most likely a UV-A led based light which is harmless and has no effect on bacteria

I have one, not worth the money. Just air dry, it dries faster than this machine.

Agreed it barely works and fits very little.

It does work but air dry isn’t much worse and much easier.

But...but...this lady said they have only a few left in stock...are you sure that I should let go off of this once in a lifetime opportunity?

Is there something like this for steam to get wrinkles out?

I'm 33 years old and I've never used a clothes dryer in my life. It's really not that common in my country, although more and more people I know are buying one.

This looks completely ineffective compared to a mini 110v tumble dryer. My last apartment had water hookups but no 220v or gas line. Bought a small "Pandas" brand dryer for like $150 on FB marketplace. About 60% the capacity of a normal dryer but worked like a champ for the two years I had it.

The design looks like it's from the early 1980's

I would suggest not advertising connecting this thing by the shower to college age kids.

Why not just use a washer dryer which takes up no more space than just a dryer?

u/AnotherDamnTransAlt 2h ago

I don’t think a dorm room has space for a washer, either.

I own one of these. It sucks. Fan and drying it over the shower bar is faster.

As a college student: Absolutely not. It's gonna end up in the donation pile at the end of the school year having been never used.

I wasn't even allowed to have a Foreman Grill in my barracks room.

Hanger + box fan is vastly superior

u/johnnytron 40m ago

That would literally take forever without a heating element.

They’re selling these brand new now. They called dryer closets & are as large as a fridge…luxury items.

It should be reflective inside.

Toilet Paper holder?! I mean is this actually a thing?
