So there is just me in my little flat. Getting a washer machine today but need to think about a dryer. Don't have space in my kitchen for a dryer so I am considering getting this.

Some good reviews on the site.

I haven't used this, but had the same problems as you with regard to space - so eventually bought a washer/dryer (and sold my previous washing machine) and was very glad to have done so.

That may be a solution, instead of buying a small-capacity dryer?

I’d be really worried about the ventilation issues with that, especially since you say you have a ‘little flat’. Are you renting? I doubt a landlord would be too impressed by something that can cause damp issues.

No I am in a HA flat.

It’s still a pain to be honest, you’d have to keep it next to an open window every time you used it, and it can still ruin your walls.

I have the full size one of these and rarely switch it on but it claims to dry a pair of jeans overnight

I have had 2 dribuddys in the last 10 years. Both burnt out after 5 years. No problems with damp or condensation but I'm in a house. I loved them, great for small clothes but as my daughters clothes got bigger I could fit less on.

I now have the Lakeland heated airer as I hoped it would last a bit longer and fit more on but to be honest I'm really not keen on it. Wish I had bought the bigger square drybuddi!!

Also if I dont have enough windows open I do get mould issues with the heated airer!

I had one. Fine if only a couple of shirts but apart from that a total flaff, quite bulky and hard to put up and down so stayed up most of time hidden behind a screen. Eventually sold it
