Overview
Costway's 1700 watt portable dryer holds 13.2 pounds in a 3.22 cubic foot stainless drum, runs on a standard 120V outlet, and can sit on the floor or be wall mounted. It's built for apartments, RVs and other spaces without a vented 220V hookup, not as a replacement for a full-size dryer.
Several reviewers have run it for years with no issues, citing the larger capacity and higher wattage among portables as reasons they chose it, and calling out the wall-mount option as useful in small laundry closets. It runs slower than a standard 220V dryer since it's 110V, and one reviewer traces incomplete drying to how the lint filter is positioned in the center of the unit, which they felt restricts steam from venting during longer cycles.

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-term owners report years of reliable daily use and point to its larger-than-typical capacity and wattage among portables as the reason they picked it over competitors. The recurring frustrations are a warranty that one reviewer says is shorter when bought through Amazon with no replacement parts available, and a complaint that the centrally placed lint filter can leave some loads incompletely dried.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cycle times run longer than a standard 220V dryer
