Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Instead of draping damp clothes all over the house or wearing-out delicate garments in the dryer, use this unique appliance--it reduces air drying by up to 75 percent. The unit's ultra-quiet motor gently circulates cool room air evenly over four, large, adjustable, mesh shelves to dry garments, even extra-large sweaters. It decreases wear and tear on clothing, minimizes shrinking, and helps avoid the need for dry cleaning. Plus, it eliminates the damp-drying conditions that can leave just-washed clothes smelling musty and stale. The entire station's lightweight, space-saving design disassembles quickly for convenient storage. The drying station measures approximately 32 by 7 by 16 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Tries Very Hard to Do the Virtually Impossible,
By

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, White (Kitchen)
The Hamilton Beach Garment Drying Station is the underdog that you root for. It faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge and it tries and tries, but just falls short. Still, you appreciate its effort and reward it by trotting it out for a use every now and then.
The problem of drying delicates and shrinkable knits is hardly a new one. Since clotheslines are so out of fashion now, most people resort to drip-drying these items on hangers. But this is hardly a solution, either. Enter the Garment Drying Station, which promises to drastically cut drying times while protecting your clothes. The biggest problem is that it fails on the first count in order to succeed on the second. I've found that drying times often stretch into the hours, especially for knits. I tried drying a few medium-weight cotton sweaters on it and they were still damp after running all night. A heavier-weight hoodie sweatshirt? Pfft - forget about it. Lightweight materials such as silks and synthetics can be finished in two to three hours. Fortunately, while it's running, the Station isn't very loud - its fan is roughly as loud as that of a microwave. So assuming that it's in an adjacent room, you'll barely notice it. And it does blow the pleasant smell of clean laundry throughout the house. But maybe the worst drawback to the System is the size conundrum. It takes up a large footprint when its set up - approximately 2.5 feet square. However, this still isn't large enough to completely spread out most garments. One of the problems that I faced with the knit sweaters is that I had to fold the sleeves over the body in order to fit them on to the drying rack. The wet-on-wet portions of the sweaters were obviously much slower to dry. Sure, I could have stopped by every now and then to rearrange the sleeves, but suddenly the convenience factor is gone. Also, the size of the racks can be a problem for thinner fabrics as you have no choice but to either fold the garment up or else leave it hanging off the edge, either of which can produce unwanted creases. There is an optional attachment that lets you hang hangers over the unit, but then suddenly I'm out $25 more dollars and back to hang-drying clothes anyway. Setup and takedown are both very easy and operation is a simple on/off switch. The Station is constructed of plastic that feels durable and high-quality mesh that shouldn't snag any of your clothing. So the Garment-Drying Station attempts to solve a likely unsolvable situation and falls somewhat short. Still, if you have a big wardrobe of delicate light-weight clothes, a lot of spare space to operate the unit, and a pretty hefty amount of patience, it's a worthwhile investment. PROS * Gentle drying of your delicate and/or shrinkable garments * Does fill a good amount of the house with a pleasant "fresh laundry" smell * Surprisingly quiet during operation * Quality construction CONS * Lengthy drying times * Takes up considerable space, both when in use and when stored * Drying racks are nevertheless too small to flatten out most items

Great product,
By Dirty Red (Central Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, White (Kitchen)
This sweater dryer was the answer to my prayers. Living in Florida, I don't own many sweaters or sweatshirts; so I keep them in a tight rotation. This dries even heavy sweaters in about 24 hours. I've even started using it for delicates, to dry them quicker.
The initial set up is a bit of a nightmare, so I wouldn't recommend this if you don't plan on setting it up and leaving it for at least the winter months. If it weren't for the set up, I would give it 5 stars!

No hot air & no tumbling,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hamilton Beach 11510 4-Shelf Garment Drying Station, White (Kitchen)
This dryer does use electricity for the fan, and I plan on leaving the clothes on it for a day. Obviously, the amount of time necessary for drying depends on the humidity in the house. Another advantage is if your air is dry, the water drying from the clothes adds to the humidity. I find that unless you want to take the dryer apart to lay out your clothes, the shelves are too close together. It would benefit from the addition of screen trays so that you can put your clothes on them and then slide them into the shelves. I dry most of my clothes on the top shelf and on the sides, and I find this works very well.
