Will a portable Dryer really work in our RV? || The Panda Portable Dryer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2024
- We have been using a portable washing machine for over a year now when we travel in our 2020 Lance 1985 RV. It works great but drying our laundry can be a challenge if the RV park does allow drying racks or the weather is not conducive to drying. Now we have found a solution to our drying problems. The Panda portable clothes dryer is lightweight, has a small footprint and works great for small spaces. It runs off a standard 110 plug. A small heater with a fan creates heat to help dry your laundry. This is the solution we have been looking for.

I would think setting it in the shower with bathroom roof vent running would not only get it totally out of the way but also control all the moisture released.
I think you are right!
Great idea
This is 1 of the best reviews I've ever seen
Thank you
Very thorough. Well explained. I really liked that you used your thermal and decibel meters!
You know I had to break out all of my toys! LOL
I live in an apartment and I have a RV Whirlpool washer and dryer. I also use a Mantee portable dryer somewhat like this one but square with more space. I hade it for 4 years I love it.
It’s $50 in Australia. Great review thanks
Probably the best review I've seen on this product. Thank you sir!
You’re really good at this. You answered all the questions I hadn’t even thought of yet! Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review. Perfect video length while touching on questions people would most likely ask.
Cool product.. like how compact it gets for storage. Thanks
Looks like something my wife would love ... for me to do, Lol. I like the popcorn idea Phil Hampton had. It is nice and quiet. Love the timer. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for making this video!
Excellent video! Great info for those of us that aren't going to buy a large 5th wheel with washer and dryer. Thanks!
Thank you! We have been so impressed so such small and simple machines can do such a good job.
Video quality is wonderful! Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Thank you very much!
That's a really interesting device, I've never even heard of such a thing! Thanks for sharing!
It’s a bit odd looking but it really does work well for what it is. The same with the washer.
Very good job!!!
Good detailed video ⭐️
Love it. I may look into for this summer as we travel southwest. You answered all questions prior to me asking. Thanks much. Deana
When are you headed to the southwest? We are too. Planning to be at the Grand Canyon in mid to late June.
@@TravelswithDelaney we are to be in Tucson on July 4th. We will head out the last of June
outstanding upload Travels with Delaney. I broke that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the superb work.
Thanks a ton!
great review thank you
great review, thank you!!!
Thank you!
Very cool!
It really is a cool device that works well.
Patrick I never knew that they had this panda dryer out. It’s cute. Does it spin like a dryer does? I think it’s cute! It works. The washer works and the dryer works now we’re set to go camping without using their laundry mats. Thank you Patrick for demoing the Panda. It’s very good. Say hi to Patty for me! See you both soon. Stay safe.
no it doesnt spin. i creates a vortex of air flow around the objects instead of the objects themselves moving.
The Panda has landed!
LOL! It does look like some type of rocket doesn’t it.
What I do in my airstream is use a metal drying rack that attaches to ceiling and has about 60 hooks and put that in front of my box fan ( which I use as a air filter at same time with a merv 13 20x20x4 filter attached ) This uses very little power and will dry clothes overnight. My filter gets dark so I know my air is dirty .
Very cute and seems efficient. Reminds me of an alien spaceship before you put the cover on it. Great gifts from your brother and makes your travels totally prepared. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
It does kind of look like an alien ship! LOL
@@TravelswithDelaney 😂🤣👍🏽
Thanks for the review Patrick! I’m interested. I am saving to purchase the washer and now the dryer to use in my 2010 Fun finder x210wbs. I work as a library assistant at the local elementary school and am looking forward to full timing in two years when I retire. In the mean time I follow you guys and a couple others while I weekend and summer travel. I’ve learned so much from you guys!
We have been very happy with both the washer and dryer....actually blown away by how well they both work. How exciting to be retiring in 2 years and going full time....congratulations!
I like that dryer! It would be good to have during rainy season here in Florida! I like Phil Hampton's popcorn comment but you would have to add a silver rescue blanket and call it "Jiffy Pop Dryer"... Thanks for sharing! Steve
Awesome!
we love it.
Awesome review (you are the very best at reviews)!!! We currently own a Panda spinner. I have used it a few times at home and am looking forward to using it on the road. At home, it spins the just washed clothing to almost dry. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Joyce! I actually enjoy doing them and always hope they will help someone out.
Just add popcorn and you'll have a snack after doing all the laundry!
OMG Phil! I almost spit out my coffee when I read you comment! That is definitely the funniest comment I have read in awhile. Now I want to try making popcorn in it but Patty said no! LOL
I bought my Costway a few months ago because we don't have washer/dryer hookups and we live in an indoor apartment complex where people walk around w/out masks. So to take care of my elderly mother and myself, I had been handwashing clothes (not easy at all) but then with our stimulus money a few months ago I bought the washer. I freaking love it. May not be big, but that's okay, I can do several loads in a day and get everything washed. I use a rack in our living room and being that I'm in Yuma, AZ we use fans all year long and it takes more or less 30 minutes to dry our clothes. I had seen that dryer before and wondered about it. I like it and I'm glad you reviewed it with use as it gave me a chance to see it being using used and I value your opinion as well.
Best wishes to you as a caregiver
Isn’t it crazy how well that washer works? We were shocked when we got ours and now love it!
I use an excellent Lakeland heated dryer with its bespoke cover. It’s bigger so better for my use at home, no fan but lower wattage. I also love my meaco dehumidifier on laundry mode,which is even cheaper to run than the dryer.
Just when you think you have seen it all.👍
Your like an RV bloodhound. You seem to find the unfindable. Yhis is why I subscribed and tell my friends about this site.
I understand we will be camping in the same place in April. Looking forward to meeting you two.
Yes! We will be there and look forward to meeting you too and hanging out with the Fitch’s
I know your neck of the woods pretty good Spend a lot of time up there
Thanks for sharing. I have been curious about these. Great idea for small spaces! Even in a single apartment or motel room that would work out well. How long can it run for? I’m thinking it could handle a sleeping bag draped over the unit like the cover does.
Omg, it’s super cute, it looks like a little Martian spaceship!
That’s what I thought too Patti! LOL
Great details. Appreciate you bringing us these videos. FYI... there is a comment below with a link in it that takes you an inappropriate site. Just wanted you to know.
Thank you and thank you for letting me know about the comment...I will remove it and report it.
If you use that inside the camper just remember, all the warm moist air is inside the camper. Would work much faster outside in good weather. Great idea on the dryer though.
I wd put it in the shower stall with bathroom vent fully open and a dehumidifier running in there also. apparently if you just hang the clothes in the bathroom with the roof vent fan open/on and another lg fan sitting on the floor running with a good sized dehum in there the clothes will dry very quickly; others have tried my idea n it works very well they say.
That is an excellent suggestion!
I like this video… If you can please share the model number of your washer so I can look into it.thank you very much
Good idea! Thanks for sharing! Can you post a link to the dryer and washer? Thanks again!
If you search on Amazon for the following, you will find them. Washer: Costway Portable Washer. Dryer: Panda Portable Dryer.
Next you need an R2 unit to help around the place.
Have you tried to dry a large bath towel or a heavy flannel shirt ? I am thinking about fall with some raining weather. I know slow but when it needs drying will it work or into town for a laundromat ?
We tried a bath towel and it does take longer but it will eventually dry. We don’t do our bedding in the washer...that we always go to a laundromat for. It’s crazy how dry the laundry comes out of the spinner on the portable washer which really speeds up the drying time with the dryer.
How well does it dry clothes in the different timer options (and what are those options)? Have you found the need to run it twice with things like towels? Had your tried bed sheets?
The time is just for length of time and doesn’t affect the heat. There is no heat setting. We haven’t tried sheets but I am sure you could hang it on the rack and do one sheet at a time.
Great review. May I ask you a silly question heat is transfer in the rv? I want to buy it I don't have shower ot toalett in my van
It definitely puts off heat and moisture as it drys the clothes. We ended up using it outside this summer as it just puts off too much heat in the summer.
Most of these videos are super annoying and redundant. He sounds like a professional. He gets to the point.
Thank you!
I wonder if a hooded hair dryer and your dryer rack would have done the same thing with a shower curtain over the top of it to contain the warm air? Well since my dryer was damaged in a flood and I'm strapped for cash right now, I'm going to try my idea.
Did you try it and how did it work?
@@ELBrown213 I actually just hung some rope on my fence, but maybe I'll do it as an experiment and make a youtube recording this week. I'll let you know.
Good video, but don't like the dryer 😕
It looks like the type of thing that everyone thinks looks cute and promising so they spend the $100 for it and within a month everyone says, "yeah it's ok. Kind of a pain in the butt to set up and use. Takes quite a while to dry clothes. A lot easier to use the laundromat".
I sat here watching for five minutes trying to figure out what makes it spin...
No spinning. Just a fan blowing hot air around
how long does it take to dry jeans?
I honestly do not know as we haven't used it for jeans. We primarily use it in the summer with shorts and wicking materials that dry fairly fast
@@TravelswithDelaney i ended up buying one and it takes a few hours. but they do eventually dry out. running this inside a small space completely makes it humid in that small space. which makes sense. the moisture has to go somewhere clearly.
How much pleas
900 watts not a significant drain on your solar , really ? how many watts of solar panels do you have ? .
String up a line between two trees? Easier & cheaper I'd think. Just sayin'.
No offense but why spend $150 when for $250 you can get a propane dryer?
No offense taken....we received it as a Christmas gift.
@@TravelswithDelaney Cant beat that then. Free is always welcome. I been looking at many different options and its hard to decide. More work with a propane gas dryer and more convenient for this item. Thanks for the response. Take care.
