BLACK+DECKER BCED26 Compact Dryer for Standard Wall Outlet, Small, 5 Modes, Load Volume 8.8 lbs., White

This is the first time using this type of dryer. I was really skeptical, fearful it would be costly due to the extra running time needed. But now, I'm not so worried. Yes, it takes about 90 to 120 minutes for a load (consisting of about 5 tees, 5 pairs of shorts, undies, wash clothes and a few kitchen towels). I like the process though. Heats quickly and gradually cools to the end. Everything is dried thoroughly. A week's worth of bath towels and hair towels is no problem for one load. I don't think it's any louder than other dryer I've owned. The only thing I don't like is the controls are on a bottom corner of the face. So the dryer has to be elevated for my comfort and convenience.

I chose this because I knew the name, but first mistake. It arrived with a small tear,3", in cardboard, otherwise seemed well packaged. It has a slight long indentation along left side toward back. When it tumbles it hits the side. It is louder than I expected. Inadequate instructions. I will have to hire someone to try to repair it before I can use it. I would return it to a local store but it is too large to fit in my car. I would return it to shipper except the cost is astronomical. Won't know how it works drying clothes until it is repaired. Big disappointment.
