| How big is it ? |
The box is about 2 ft X 1 ft X 1 ft. When assembled, it is about 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It's big enough for a small to medium family.
|
| How long for my clothes to be completely dry ? |
There are 2 main factors that affect the drying time, the material and your washing machine. The thinner materials are more easily dried, e.g. polyester. Cotton takes longer time and jeans are the longest.
Different washing has different spin drying efficiency. Some washing machines spin dries at 400 r.p.m. (rounds per minute) while some other higher end machines spin dries at 1200 r.p.m. (rounds per minute). The higher the spin dry rotation, the more easily dried your clothes are. The duration for a polyester long sleeve shirt to dry is about 1 hour, using a high spin dry rate.

| I need to travel a lot. Is it heavy ? |
The whole unit is only about 4 kg, about the weight of a notebook computer. This is possible as we use aluminum alloy for the whole structure, which makes it rust proof as well as lightweight.

| How durable is it ? |
The system is tested thoroughly before production. One of the test is the test of durability which requires the system to be turned on non-stop for 7 days. The system exceeds the test standard by running for 22 days before breaking down. The base unit was tested by dropping it at the height of 10 feet and the blower had to be functional in order to pass the test.
