Title: Great Dryer For Compact Spaces Dries Well
Review: This is a five star review of the BLACK+DECKER BCED26 2.65 cu ft Compact Dryer.I've used this dryer a few times [see 1 year update below] and am very pleased with it. Using a full size washer to do a full wash, I ran this dryer three times for about one hour each time. It was about one-half to two-thirds full each time. This got things dry enough for my purposes, then I use folding bamboo drying racks to let them dry the rest of the way. This included heavier pants, some towels, t-shirts, etc. If run longer, this dryer will get things bone dry if you need it.Drying a single damp bath towel after using it after showering, it's dry in about 15 minutes.I live in a drier climate, typically 40-50% RH indoors, so things dry well when hung. For smaller items, I partially dry them, then I leave them in a laundry basket and manually tumble them a few times a day. Running the clothes through this dryer for 30-60 minutes gives them a tumble dry fluff, and then the air does the rest, which saves machine run time and energy. I'm pleased with the size of the 2.65 cu ft dryer. It wouldn't dry a comforter or large blanket easily, but normal size sheets and clothing work fine. Figure about three dryer loads to dry a large full-size washer load.For venting, I used a 28 oz can of tomatoes, opening it on both ends, so it's just a steel cylinder, with exactly a 4 inch diameter, just like dryer vent hoses. I bought a dryer hose which came with two clamps (TEAIERXY 4 Inch 8ft Dryer Flexible Insulated Vent Hose PVC Aluminum Foil with 2 Clamps). I clamped one end onto the full 4-inch diameter of the dryer output and the other onto the steel can. Be careful not to over-tighten the clamp on the dryer because the tube is plastic.Then I made a cardboard insert for my window, which opens sidewways. So the cardboard is about 5 inches wide and about three feet tall. Then I cut a hole in the bottom and inserted the steel can. (Or you can buy a pre-made window dryer vent insert). I used metal tape to tape around the edge of the cardboard where it meets the steel can, and a little above it, just to make it safer. But it doesn't get hot under normal conditions, just warm. I can hold my hand on the steel can without it burning. Then I stick that assembly into the partially open window and it vents through the window screen. It also worked okay without the cardboard, just leaving the window open and placing the vent at the window, but with the cardboard I don't need to leave the window open in cold or hot weather, and all the exhaust goes out.I also bought these dryer filters: Essential Values Compatible Replacement Filters for Bettervent Indoor Dryer Vent. I don't use them with the window venting, but they can be used for indoor venting. I just stuff one into the steel can and tape it in place a little. Works fine, but the indoor air will become warm and humid, and maybe slightly dusty. But it's usable without a window vent that way in my opinion, if need be.I got this dryer because people use dryer sheets with toxic artificial fragrance in the shared dryer where I live. Such fragrances are very unhealthy - read up on it - especially bad for kids. Even though I don't use the dryer sheets, their scent remains in the dryer and pollutes my laundry. Plus drying takes a lot of time. This way I can use their full size washer, then just bring the clothes back and dry them myself in the dryer and on racks. Works great, would work with a laundromat well too, since you don't have to wait for all the drying time by having your own dryer.I put it on a little rolling TV cart which raises it up about 18 inches. Light enough to move easily. Came packed well with cardboard, styrofoam, and plywood. Straps on the box made it easy to carry, about 65 pounds. I turned it over, opened the bottom flaps, then put it right side up and lifted the box off. I measured and it uses about 10 amps at 115 volts, about 1120 watts. I used a well-made 14 AWG, 12 amp, 50 foot extension cord, which isn't recommended, but worked okay, got slightly warm. I keep a close eye on the cord and vent temperatures when it's running just to be safe.Great dryer thus far, five stars. Controls are a little odd but one gets to know it, instructions explain. The lint trap at the back of the drum is a bit of a task to disassemble because the plastic is tight, be careful not to break it, but I think it will loosen up with use. I use an old toothbrush to clean the two filters. There is also an air intake filter, but that doesn't need to be cleaned every time.ONE YEAR UPDATEJust to update this review after about one year of use, I still really like this dryer. I upgraded my extension cord to a thicker, well-made 12 AWG 15 Amp 25 Foot one, and that works better. The cord stays completely cool.I figured out how to more easily pull the lint trap apart. Once the assembly is removed (per instructions, you rotate it until it clicks, then pull it out), I put my fingers in the finger holes on the one side, and grip the small circular piece at the center on the other side. Then just ease them apart. I clean the filter after every wash, which translates to about three 1-hour dryer runs. Between the two layers of filter, it seems to get most of the lint, I don't see any on the window screen.Using a hand-held IR temperature gauge, the air coming out of the 8-foot dryer hose generally varies between 85 F and 105 F. When the dryer hose gets to about 95 F, I know the clothes are usually dry enough for my purposes, with further air drying on the bamboo racks.

Title: Great little dryer
Review: This is a great dryer if you have only one or two people, and have limited space to set up a washer and dryer. I bought this to complement the Black and Decker mini-washing machine I had recently purchased. This is a very easy machine to set up, Requires little space or technical expertise to set it up and, once it's running, it dries clothes as fast as a full-sized dryer, just not as many at once. It is really quiet, and the filter is easy to clean after every load. For me, a one person household, it works great, and saves me a ton of money and time versus going to the laundromat. I didn't have the space to set up a full-sized set, so I opted for the compact washer and dryer, and it has turned out to be just the ticket to suit my needs. Now, it is so much more convenient, because I don't have to take the time out of my schedule to load everything up and head to the laundromat and to have to sit there for almost an hour, between washing and drying, This will dry a full load of clothes in about 30 to 35 minutes. As I said, it's great for one person, or maybe two, as it only handles a smaller load, but the functionality and convenience more than offset the limited capacity, and it will pay for itself, in time and hard money savings, in less than a year. It is very quiet, for a smaller machine, I thought it would be somewhat noisier, but it's actually more quiet than the full-sized dryer I used to have. I have it only vented inside, yet it doesn't seem to put out much lint beyond the filter, and hardly affects my temperature or humidity in the house at all. I did opt for the secondary filter to add additional filtration on the exhaust, but haven't gotten around to installing that yet. If you have limited space to set up a laundry system, I would definitely consider one of these. I put up a shelf in my bathroom and put it on that, and it works fine; it's out of the way, at a comfortable height for me to be able to get things in and out, and it's located right over my washer, so it's a nice compact laundry system, perfect for one or two people with only limited space to install a machine. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Title: Excellent Dryer!
Review: I bought this Black& Decker portable dryer to dry my laundry after I take it out of my portable washer. This Black& Decker portable dryer is amazing! I wish I would have bought this sooner! I have been using it since I got it almost every day and it is wonderful. It dries my clothes really well within 20 to 30 minutes each load. I will transfer the 26 lb of laundry that my portable washer can hold (after both spin cycles are completed) and it dries everything! I can use it to warm up towels before we could take a shower, it does not come with the silver tube that connects but I had already purchased one that was longer with an inside dryer vent. I would recommend this dryer to anyone, I unfortunately do not have a video or photo at the moment but once I get a chance I can place a picture on here. The dryer is beautiful! Very simple to work. I would recommend cleaning the little lint trap every two to three loads. If you are doing towels I will check it after one load and see how thick it is. I was able to purchase more of the little filters that go on there. It helps a lot with the lint not coming out of the tube, I technically didn't even need the dryer vent thing which I'm actually not using. I just point it towards my back screen door and the hot air goes out. Works wonderful if you want to warm your home 🙂 I am happy to be saving money and getting all my clothes clean and not having to use the laundromat or the laundry on site at my apartments which can get really gross. I bought three wool dryer balls and I am in love with them! The portable washer that I got was the cost way 26 lb portable washer, I was going to get the Black& Decker one but since I have three people in my family I wanted to do a little bit more laundry to help save on time. I hope you enjoy your Black& Decker portable dryer. I know I am 🙂

Review: Bought both Washer and Dryer from B&D…Did my research and found that they were both highly rated. I set my dryer on a sturdy table with a moveable cart bc the dial was too low…( I’m a senior) and found it a bit too hard to clean out the lint filter inside…After the new configuration everything is perfect! You will have to purchase the venting system separately.

Review: I've been rack-drying my laundry for the past couple of years - and quite happily, even if it did take a long time and took up a lot of space - so this is like super-luxury for me. Now that I have it, I don't know how I lived with out it, to be honest.It's much bigger than I pictured, even though I knew the measurements - consequently now i have to find a better place for it. Don't misunderstand - i'm thrilled, just a little taken aback by the size. I mean, when I saw the box it came in and that poor Amazon Delivery fellow struggling down my hallway with it, I thought maybe I'd ordered the wrong one. I could fit inside that box, and i'm a pretty big guy.Any way, size concerns out of the way, it's amazing. I love it. I did a "test" dry of five t-shirts, six pairs of underwear, and four pairs of socks and it took just under an hour. That may sound like a long time, but unless you're sitting watching it spin, it goes by pretty fast - and it's MUCH faster than drying on a rack.As for noise - it made noise, but nothing I found terribly irritating, just regular white noise, and with my headphones on I didn't hear a thing.One less star for ease of use - only because it took me a minute to realize what the "universal" symbols on the "auto-sense" feature meant. I had the option between O and _ . After reading the manual, I now know that O (obviously, apparently) stands for "ON". For ECO mode there's a Leaf and a T-Shirt which I figured out pretty quickly, but for some reason O and _ had me stumped. Let this be my gift to you all - O means ON.TLDR: It's bigger than you might realize unless you're good at visualizing sizes (clearly I'm not) and while the buttons may mildly confuse a cabbage-brain like mine, this is a fantastic machine and I love it to bits.

Customers say

Customers like the dryer's size and functionality. They mention it works well with each type of wash, is small enough for small spaces, and a good space saver. Some are satisfied with its ease of use. However, some customers have different opinions on whether it dries well, the noise level, value for money, sturdiness, and heat level.
