Overview
Compact 1.5 cu ft electric tumble dryer with stainless steel tub, 850W heating element, and four drying modes (cool, warm, anti-wrinkle, hot). Built for apartments, dorms and RVs where a full-size dryer will not fit.
This is a ventless-capable countertop-size unit, not a stackable full-capacity dryer, so cycle times run long and loads need to stay small to dry evenly. The stainless tub adds some durability over the plastic-drum machines in this class, but buyers should budget for post-sale support gaps if something breaks. It works better as a supplement to line-drying than as a stand-in for a full-size dryer.
- 850W stainless-tub tumble dryer
- Four modes: cool, warm, anti-wrinkle, hot
- Wall or rack mountable, 37.3 lbs
- Cool mode runs 0-20 minutes for touch-ups
Who it's for
Renters, dorm residents, and RV owners who need to dry a few towels or a couple of outfits without hookups for a vented dryer. Not for households doing regular full loads of laundry, since the drum is sized for spot drying rather than a family's weekly wash.
Pros and cons
- Dries small loads without a vented hookup
- Stainless tub holds up under repeated use
- Runs quiet enough for overnight cycles
- Real capacity is smaller than the advertised 10 lbs
- Support was unresponsive for at least one belt failure
- Best for spot loads, not full laundry
Performance notes
The 850W heating element and four selectable modes let you match heat to fabric, from a 20-minute cool cycle to a 200-minute hot cycle for bulkier items. Capacity is closer to 5-6 lbs of mixed laundry in practice rather than the advertised 10 lbs, so small, frequent loads dry faster and more evenly than one large load.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Costway VD-23598EP need to be vented outside?
It can run ventless using the cool/air modes, though the box includes an exhaust connector for venting if you have somewhere to route it.
How much laundry can the Costway VD-23598EP actually dry per load?
Amazon lists a 10 lb capacity, but owners who timed cycles found 5-6 lbs of mixed laundry, roughly a couple of towels or a few shirts, is the realistic per-load limit.
