Another praised: "It does not hold a lot, perhaps a 6 kg wash. But honestly, it's a game changer. And for the price and energy consumption, it's unbeatable. This thing dried a bedsheet and a light duvet overnight.

"Clothes need a bit longer (1.5 day, but only 8 hours of it being on). For safety, I only turn it on overnight before going to bed and left it off during the day while I am away from the house."

However, one disappointed user wrote: "It doesn't get very hot, so takes ages to dry clothes."
