It does as it says
Very pleased with this product great value
Friendly buddy, 55 - 64
Good quality, bit on large size.
Bought this due to living in a studio apartment with no garden to hang washing out. Have a washer dryer but some clothes are not suitable and this is a good alternative, takes up to an hour if you want your clothes to be near enough dry, more heavier items e.g. hoodies, jogging bottoms take longer but they do come out dry if you set the timer correctly. Best to set the timer for 30 minutes then put on for a bit longer if they are not dry, so they don't overheat and risk catching fire. Bit bigger than I expected, takes up mor room than I thought but pleased with my purchase.

Poor quality
This is the 2nd DriBuddi I've purchased. The quality of the latest model is poor in comparison to the previous model. The new design is quite flimsy and the cover is poorly finished off, stitching has come away causing large gaps around the top section and therefore not very efficient for drying. Replacement covers can be purchased yet out of stock.

Brilliant drier
I brought this 2 weeks ago, it's brilliant. It saves having to iron alot of items like tshirts and sweatshirts and as items are on hangers, all you have to do is hang them up in the wardrobe when they have done. Things like trousers need ironingbut they dont take so long.

Easily stored

Don't buy!
Absolutely rubbish. Broke after a couple of days. Didn't dry the clothes and didn't hold that much washing. Doesn't get very hot. Legs constantly fall off!

Hello Trev
JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer
Indoor Use Recommended
The DriBUDDI is designed as an indoor heated airer, so using it in a garage is fine as long as the garage is dry and has a power supply.
Avoid damp or exposed areas because moisture can damage the unit or create electrical hazards. [jmldirect.com]
Impact of Cold Temperature
In a cold garage, drying will take longer because the surrounding air is cooler and less able to absorb moisture.
The airer itself generates warm air (850W heating element), but the ambient temperature still affects efficiency. [idealhome.co.uk]
Tips for Better Performance
Use the cover that comes with the DriBUDDI to trap heat and speed up drying.
Ensure the garage is ventilated to prevent condensation.
If possible, add a small heater or dehumidifier to improve drying speed in very cold conditions. [idealhome.co.uk]
Safety
Place the airer on a stable, flat surface away from water sources.
Do not use outdoors or in areas where rain or heavy moisture can reach it.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hello,
Our supplier has advised that the JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer is 850 watts on the max setting. It would depend on your hourly electricity rate, so it would be 0.85 x your hourly rate.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi Jacky,
JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer 714/1247
It would be personal preference if you feel the need to iron clothes after they have been dried.
The drying process of using this item is to ensure clothes are dried quickly and to minimise ironing.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi Kelly.
JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer:
The Airer does not come with hangers.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Goolagon.
Re: JML DriBUDDI Compact Heated Airer
The motor of the Dri Buddi Compact is 850w.
The current electricity rate in the UK is approximately Ā£0.26 per kWh subject to your energy provider costs.
To calculate the cost, multiply the wattage (850 watts) by the rate (0.26 pence per kWh) and then by the usage time in hours.
Thank you for using Q & A.
