My review of the jul dry buddi great for those with small flats or anything like that. VizBox - www.vizbox.tv my Vlog channel : http:/ / themickyvlogs follow me on twitter http:/ TheMickytec
I was in two minds about getting one of these but now I've seen your review, I've bought one. I prefer reviews from real people like yourswlf. Thank you.
We bought the dri buddi 2days ago and so far I'm very happy with it. You are right on saying its ideal because it don't create too much room in your house. I've used it to dry our towel. Yes it takes awhile. It took me about 1 and a half to two hours but at least it does it's job. Winter is coming and finally I can do my laundry anytime!
I bought one, based on your video! Have used it for a day. I have to say, JML puts the fear of god in me, as a brand. Never been impressed by anything it makes, until now. Admittedly, I spun everything again, after it had washed, to reduce the moisture and give the Dri Buddi a chance. Needn't have worried, it has dried everything perfectly, even huge bath towels and sheets. I simply draped them over the umbrella top, then put the cover over and zipped up. Now in no rush to get the condenser dryer fixed. Happy mum :)
I will never been without my dri buddy. With all the rain and wet weather, it's the best thing I ever invested in. I bought mine in 2008, and I want another one. I even dry my wool rovings in it. It is
It seems like a good alternative for people who do not live on hot dry climates with plenty of laundry lines. I just have to pop the hangers on the line for a blast of 100+F for a couple hours or less and everything dries. But for a condo or a humid or cool or wet location this would be ideal and really almost mimics the hot, dry desert summers out of doors. Clever. Like the review.
Thanks for the review. We're expecting a baby and therefore a lot of clothes to wash and dry in a one bedroom flat, so we'll definitely give this one a try.
I'm on my second dri buddi. The first one lasted for years. I replaced it about a year ago, collapsed it down recently and put away to decorate. When I went to put it up I found the locking spring clip that holds the spider canopy up as fallen out, as that is held in place purely with the spring tension there is no way I'm going to get that down the pole exactly aligned - the only fix is to put the canopy up and put a bolt in the hole. Both the top of the lower pole and bottom of the upper pole are threaded using a threaded collar. No real problem unless you unwittingly unscrew both. As the finish on the thread is so bad it has partially stripped the thread on the pole itself, dispute trying to clear the shards of aluminum off there is no thread as such to refasten the collar to. The Chinese have really excelled them self with the quality. The early model did seemed to be great, no problems with taking it down and putting it up but this later model has a typical cheap quality, saving 1/10th of a penny per unit results in poor quality.
ok...be honest people...how long does this take to dry clothes...like say a few shirts and pants? if i did a heavy fleece robe or towel, or a light blanket..would that take long? i saw one on amazon for about 50....not this brand but looks like it. i want my hot soft dry clothes back!! hand washing is ok..but i would rather use a machine..hurts my hands. the machines in the apts where we live are just pricey. ty
Our condenser dryer just died. Always the way, when guarantee had run out! Cost us a bomb to use for a family of four, anyway, so I have been looking for an alternative solution to wet weather drying. I reckon that this is to be our winter alternative. Thanks for the video :)
Hi Mate; Thank you so very much for uploading this video...I just can't say more how much appreciate your endeavour.. Thanks a million again....Fantastic...
Descent review i had one for my former bedsit and it did the job but ,a tumble dryer is much better for drying clothes.The Dri should be reduced in price because it is made from cheap plastic and my clothes were constanly falling of the cheap plastic racks.This dri buddy is best used with single items , like shirts ,jackets and bed sheets,that is it weakness.
From the design, and from what I read online, this is how you set your flat in fire. Usually a lot of heat, plastic and fabric all together is not a good idea. That is the kind of thing we all learn at school and working place involving a risk of fire. Buy a second hand washing machine 2 in 1 washing machine - cloth dryer, it will be less expensive and way less dangerous.
ScatterShot Thanks Mickey. This item might dry the clothes so but the moisture remains within the building fabric and might need to be managed. Looks like this gadget is no use to me as I'm trying to eliminate the issues caused by drying clothes indoors on clothes horses - air quality, damp, mould etc. Vented or condensor dryer needed for that. If dribuddy could be vented to the exterior it would be interesting. Thanks for the review and response.
Dri buddy is best used in a hallway or store room,if you do not have the space open the windows of the room you are using the dri buddy in,it does dry clothes but is takes hours depending on the amount used or the type.Tumble dryers are far quicker than this machine.
Doesn't inspire me with confidence - was going to buy one last year then saw mixed reviews. Great ideas != good implementation and I'm hazarding a guess there are bigger and better dryers based on same concept. Why are top loaders (dryers) so unpopular in the UK? Much more efficient - seems to be style over substance? Those washer-dryers are ... sort of OK if that's all the space you've got, meh.
Well this said review and it wasn't much of a review more a recommendation, The only thing I could suggest is add some more positives and negatives. I would have stated that the controls are in a odd place not too bad but not easily accessible, thanx for the video though
im going to get one for my friend soon just one question do you need any tools to put it together like a screwdriver or does it all just go together without the aid of tools
i dont think they were being mean - I think they meant that you had a relaxing/ASMR voice. In some videos, telling them you put them to sleep is a huge compliment.
And when the guarantee runs out it will break .Put them on the radiator ,hang them near a window ,hang them on the line, in a flat hang them on the balcony or even thread them on rope and hang them out side would be a better idea than this .My qualifications HND ceramic art and design . Live a simple life . Hare Krsna.
I live in a tiny central london student flat with non-functioning dryers and a lunatic landlord, not all of us are blessed with having outdoor space to hang clothes in
***** No wonder you students are 10 grand in debt .Hang them indoors .Can't you see how stupid that thing is going to be ? You will have even less room with that thing in there .Buy a book on Krishna Consciousness instead,that will be the best investment or you could end up like your land lord. Chant the Holy names of the Lord Krishna,he will look after you.and be happy.
Sigh. If you had attempted any sort of schooling yourself perhaps you wouldn't be so deluded. If you had paid attention closely, you'd know that this dryer can be quickly uninstalled to be put away when not in use. How would I know? I used mine for the first time last night and it's currently tucked away under my bed, after doing a spectacular job on the clothes. And I didn't have to turn my flat into a jungle gym of hanging wet dripping clothes.

my concern also, humid air will cause dampness, the moisture needs to go somewhere. It's a pity they didn't integrate a dehumidifier into the unit.
Nähwichtel Nähen 🤣🤣

Ratata Co what is rovings?
Hi you also put blanket?
@jamin Davies our washers and dryers are under our kitchen counters so we can't use top loader machines, we don't have separate room for it
Just used mine for the first time and very impressed, quiet, did not overload and dried my clothes well..
carot2003 might give it a try, tumble dryer abuses the electricity bills
@@fordgt402 Yeah but try drying 5kilograms of clothes with this.
I think i will stick to my tumble dryer. Good for someone in a small apartment though.
I use a dehumidifier under a clothe wrack, never had any problems and I believe it's cheaper than a tumble drier and the DriBuddi.
Brilliant idea Allan Connor! Thanks so much!
Allan Connor me too and dehumidifier helps against mould cause it’s clothes and steam that cause loads of mould In houses
and if u add a big fan pointing UP under the clothes that will dry the clothes even faster.. do u enclose your clothes rack?

yep and we all need towels dry in winter time that why we have tumble dryers im not convinced :-(
I bought a dribuddi to today even you I have a tumble dryer, quite impressive really glad I got one

Truth Prevail that's a bit over enthusiastic lol
Thanks for the video. Am considering getting one but wanted to know more about it. This helped a lot.
is work for jeans ? and winter sweaters?

Its a bit Heath-Robinson isn't it but I like the idea of saving money on electricity bills.
Better than popping things on radiators as that causes Damp on wallas etc
@adrian brimble it did for a bit that went away
does it leave creases in clothes after they are dry ?
8 years on hows it holding up is it still working
Is it available in South Africa..and how much it cost
Probably not a good idea if you have asthma and mould/mildew is one of your triggers.
Hi i like one
Where can i purchase
An the price
Thank you this video was helpful.Will buy a dri buddy now👍😊
My DriBuddi is giving out cold air? Is there any way I can warm it up?
Superb I've been recommending to my friends all we are very happy.
From the design, and from what I read online, this is how you set your flat in fire. Usually a lot of heat, plastic and fabric all together is not a good idea. That is the kind of thing we all learn at school and working place involving a risk of fire.
Buy a second hand washing machine 2 in 1 washing machine - cloth dryer, it will be less expensive and way less dangerous.
Is it really worth it. I dry my clothes on the radiator and some times have to double up.
So the room gets covered in condensation.
Does this heat the room up quite a lot??
K Dotson no not really not bad at all
But where does the water from the clothes go? It looks like it just goes in to the room and will need to be extracted or it will cause damp.
Martin McCarthy it hot so turns into steam
ScatterShot Thanks Mickey. This item might dry the clothes so but the moisture remains within the building fabric and might need to be managed.

If dribuddy could be vented to the exterior it would be interesting. Thanks for the review and response.
Yes, it's nonsense unless you hook it up to a vent tube that leads outside or you put this thing on your balcony.
Dri buddy is best used in a hallway or store room,if you do not have the space open the windows of the room you are using the dri buddy in,it does dry clothes but is takes hours depending on the amount used or the type.Tumble dryers are far quicker than this machine.
is it 220 volts?
Where does the water go??
In the air
lovely mop

Wait, wait, wait... how long do towels take to dry in it?
Forever.
Where can you purchase it in the USA?
on amazon
Hi, is it working okay?
Do you think this would shrink clothes like a tumble dryer?
No. It's basically hot dry air, like drying your clothes outside in saudi arabia.
hello, I got one of these and it gives off a smell when being used.... does yours do this
probably the heated plastic, either that or there's mould growing on it
Nice review mate :)
would have liked to see whether it takes up space storing it away???
manatee portable dryer is better
Thanks man!!
Where does all the moisture go if its covered up in a bag?
It has vent holes in top
To never land ????
Oh goord! 😮🤭That looks like a fire hazard?
Thank you! Helpful & concise :)

Colm Coleman it’s been along time lol but I’d say a screwdriver but I don’t think anything was needed
@@Hyp0_Retros thank micky just wasnt sure been lookin at loads of youtube vids and none mentioned it was just wondering
you can not get a scald from a metal coat hanger, you may get a burn, but a scald comes from a liquid or steam
It's different in England. Metal can scald you there. Scientific fact.
always one
Thank you!
it just evaporates
you put me a sleep with your great voice within 43seconds
Good at least u liked it for something u moron
i dont think they were being mean - I think they meant that you had a relaxing/ASMR voice. In some videos, telling them you put them to sleep is a huge compliment.
do dryer sheets work in these types of dryers?
But where does all the moisture go if it doesn't have a vent?
In the room, ready to condense on your stuff and those same clothes after you take them out. It's a useless machine if you run it inside the house.
It does have holes on top of the cover to allow steam to go out
loving it
Great vid :)
Does what it says on the tin.
Good presentation thank you
do you think it would dry my motorcycle kit?
It struggles with towels so I don't know how it would go up against your kit.
I'd say it's unlikely.
zipher123 ok, thank you for the reply
madnlooney That's okay, MadLooney.
:)
Thanks for the vid.
The opening 'Music' is just about brain piercing.
sledge1960 thanks for the view!!!
What a poor review. No explanation of drying times. No examples of how the clothes come out after drying. Very disappointing.
Yes, you get what you pay for.
Thanks you saved me from wasting my time
you might want a louder intro !!
Daniel Wright thanks for the comment on a 6 year old video 👍🏻👏🏻
@@Hyp0_Retros haha no problem
Don't be keeping your dri buddy😆
