Avanti 110-Volt Automatic Dryer Reviews
This little unit came pretty much fully assembled and ready to go. I bought a mounting stand separately that elevates the dryer to a good work height. The dryer is user friendly with a nice lint catch system that is easy to remove. Based on a review I read, I am using this without a vent because the dryer doesn't produce much humidity.The one major drawback is the loud noise produced by a belt inside the machine. Another review I read said this may go away in a month or two. I hope that is true because it is a horrid sound. So far I am satisfied with this purchase.
I love this dryer and purchased it because of the reviews that i read. I find that drying my clothes on the warm setting I get a faster drying time. one thing that will slow drying time down is over filling the dryer. this dryer does a great job of drying my clothes straight from the washer, no spin extra spin dryer needed for me You can even spin your clothes an extra time in your washer if they feel to damp
There're numerous attributes about the Avanti portable dryer model, D-110-1 and some not so great. First, the unit is very light weight (40 lbs) which makes it very portable. I purchased a dryer venting box for inside venting, but found I didn't need it. This unit doesn't put off much heat or moisture(less than a small pot of boiling water) or lint, since it has duel filters(more on these later). The amount of heat is much less than a full size dryer yet gets the clothes dry in a gentle but fairly decent time frame. It helps to dry, similar materials together, keeping in mind jeans will take a bit longer. Clothes come out wrinkle free, and not burning hot like larger dryers, which means much less damage to your clothes. It's a fairly impressive dryer. Never over-fill the dryer, clothes will not dry in a timely fashion. The dryer does not have a dryer signal to alert you upon completion of the cycle. But it does have Hot, Warm and Air Only cycle plus a cool down setting to keep your clothes from wrinkling if you don't get to it right away. All the bells and whistles my full size had.Upon initial install the unit gave a horrible screeching sound, I pulled the back off and discovered the belt(very thin one) was not on properly, made adjustment. It appeared to be fixed but soon after unit once again would squeak and squeal, making it impossible to be in the room when it was running. Four months into use, the noise went away on it's own.The dryers filter system is somewhat daunting but it does serve a purpose to keep lint out of your house, if you choose indoor venting. There are several layers of filters and one that will need to be replaced after some time is a wool like material that after five months of use. I've had a difficult time finding replacements. I've searched the web, to make sure I had extra parts on hand like extra belts since the one that drives the unit is very thin. I've not found any parts houses that carry Avanti parts and the manual does not provide buyers with a parts list or schematic. Making parts identification difficult. I did find a similar "filter" material at the fabric store and made my own, and they seem to work better. I discovered the Avanti filter is the same as the Haier HLP140E portable dryer filter.All in all I really love the convenience and appearance of the Avanti dryer. And hope they have better availability for parts and filters in the future. I took off one star for the noise and poor parts availability.UPDATE: 12/28/11, After locating a parts (blowout) list, for this dryer. I made an attempt to order extra replacement parts, via Avanti. Ordering the parts from the number in the included catalog was straight forward, but after a month of waiting for "in-stock" parts I called once again to check the status, and got the run around. I waited another two weeks, and still no parts. When I called the third time, I was told they "just" were put into stock that moment, and they would "expedite" the shipment. While I was not impressed with the Parts availability from the start, I was really let down by the delay and run-around the parts department gave me. I even lessened the amount of filters and belts I ordered to assure quicker delivery, since the parts department informed me of the total number they had in stock. I think, I'll buy my filters and parts via Haier rather than Avanti, since they are the exact same part, but different makers. Avanti needs better service badly.
I loved this dryer when i first got it, but after about 2 weeks it stopped working. I call the Customer service number and they sent some one out right away to fix it. He fixed it and it went out about a week latter. So we sent it back in and we got another one. But of course we have had it for about 2 weeks and once again i have a broken dry. I am not happy about this product at all. And it leaves a funny smell on my family's cloths. So if you only want a dryer for about 2 weeks it's a great buy, but if you want a long term dryer don't waste your money.
I was so disappointed with my last mini-dryer that I really dreaded getting this one, but I needed it, and BOY!!! does it ever do the job. An average load of clothes for me takes only between 40 - 80 minutes to dry, and that is a MASSIVE improvement over my last dryer - Thanks!
Yes this review is about the D110 compact dryer also known as the Avanti compact DryerBut, FIRST OFF: I had the Haier Compact Washer and Dryer for a long time. Even though I went through 3 washers, the Haier dryer lasted through all those for about 3 years. For the price I was happy with that. NOW I had to replace it finally because the bearings must have went bad and started grinding.SO what do I see? Oh look it has a little window and for some reason the appeal of the dial on this Avanti Dryer drew me to it. I found it from a seller fulfilled by Amazon and bought ti for within a few dollars of what it would have costs to buy another Haier... After all I had no problems with the Haier dryer before but that could have been a fluke because I wore the washers out. And other people had problems with the Haier dryers so I wasnt brand loyal or anything. (A penny will kill a Haier compact washing machine left in a pocket)Anyway long story short. I really liked the appearance of this one this here Avanti compared to the Haier and as for the reviews who talks about the smell of hot plastic I didn't smell that at all.I did notice it was harder to mount and the vent coming out of the back is smaller then standard so my dryer exhaust hose was too big and had to be rigged up to work. To those of you not venting these dryers, your doing it wrong. This and the haier have to be vented.... Period.Anyway finally I get it up and turn it on awful squeak and grind loud as the one I just set o the curb the day before this one arrived. God why.. I wanted it to work so bad.. But it didn't and I read the reviews about taking the back off and finding belts and pulleys loose but you know what, I shouldn't have to do that or look for that in a new A BRAND NEW APPLIANCE. I boxed it up and sent it back and am about to buy another Haier if nothing else to hide the big hole in my appliance wall where I threw the old one away and now returning this one.. Again, I wanted it to work so bad. It is really attractive but it is cheap junk prettied up on the outside junk and plastic on the inside. ...I returned it with ease to Amazon and got a refund fast so now I can buy the next one.Happy with Amazon, BUT Sad about the fools gold product....
Great dryer for small spaces. only uses 110v outlet. Takes a little longer to dry but worth the wait. Because it doesn't over dry, clothes come out soft even with out dryer sheets. It is a little noisy but I rather deal with the noise than going to public laundremat. The lint filter fills up fast so clean it after each load. The filter is a little tricky to remove but after a few cleanings you get the hang of it. I did not want to mount it on the wall so I used bed risers to raise it off the floor so I don't have to bend over so much. the risers work great!
