Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this two-tier dryer and the one tier version Household Essentials Collapsible Indoor Tripod Clothes Dryer. I use them both in the winter to dry my clothes and to humidify the air. I enjoy having both because I can put one in my bedroom and the other in my office to make the air less dry. If you can only have one of these dryers, I would choose this two-tier model because it's more versatile. You don't have to use the lower tier if you have a lot of long things to dry. Plus you can adjust the height of the upper tier as needed. I do think, after reading some negative reviews, that some people have inappropriate expectations for these dryers. Yes, they are plastic. That makes them lightweight and easy to collapse and store. It also means that you have to use some common sense in loading them up. The first thing to do is position the tripod where you want it to be after it is loaded because it is not intended to be relocated when it is loaded up. The second thing to do when you load it is to balance the load among the three arms. Pay a little attention to the relative weight of the items you are hanging so you can distribute the weight somewhat evenly amongst the arms. This is not hard to do. In fact, if you have particularly heavy items, put them closer to the pole instead of on the far ends of the arms. For example, I have some heavyweight fleece pants and I always hang them closest to the pole, and then put some shirts farther out on the arms. The third thing is not to overload the dryer. I think it's a mistake for Household Essentials to make excessive claims for capacity. This dryer holds half what they claim because you need to leave air space between the items or they will take forever to dry. The unrealistic claim for capacity is why I have removed one star. I actually love this dryer and think everyone should have one.
