The video shows the first time I used the Drying Pod. I have had it for over 18months now and I use it very regularly ... I have learnt how to use it better since I made the video.... I mention these things in the video as well... - I recommend a smaller load than I had in the video - a good spin so that the clothes start of a lot drier than the clothes in the video - move the clothes around about half way through otherwise you end of with bits of clothes that are still damp where clothes are touching I hope you enjoy your new Drying Pod.
Thanks for the comment. I am glad the video was helpful 😀 As I mentioned in the video I had only given the clothes a short spin. I learnt from making the video and now I always do a long spin so the clothes are not as damp as the clothes in the video. I also use the pod near an open window.
When I made the video I wanted to do a challenging test to check the drying capability of the Pod so I decided to do a short spin - the clothes were still quite damp when I put them in the pod. I now always do a long spin so the clothes are a lot drier before I put them in the Pod. I do not have as much of a condensation problem as I had when I made the video but the problem is still there ... the moisture from the clothes has got to go somewhere! So I think it is a sensible precaution to use your Pod in the bathroom with the extractor fan.
Thanks for the nice comment :) And thanks for the cost per hour. Electricity prices will go up in Apr-23 when if my quick calculations are correct the cost per hour will be 37p. However, the good news is that from July-23 analysts are forecasting that electricity prices will start to go down so the cost per hour will start to decrease :)
@@Helpful-Stuff Thank you so much. Yes I did a typo. It is 34p now. Another 30 pounds a month for my house. My dryer takes hours Is yours still going I fear it could end up a mistake but it is difficult at the moment I have clothes everywhere
@@annoftheoldbogroad1534 For the video I wanted to do a good test of the drying capability so the clothes had only had a short spin and they were still very damp. Looking back on it now I think it was a very stiff test for the Drying pod and this was why the clothes took so long to dry. I now make sure the clothes have had a good spin so they are not as damp as the clothes in the video. I also set a timer on my phone to remind me that every hour I move the clothes around and I remove any clothes that have dried because I have discovered that with less clothes it does dry faster! However, I do agree it does take a long time but I just leave it running until everything is dry. The thing I do like is that if I do a wash in the morning I know that by the end of the day everything will be dry and back in drawers ... so I don't have clothes left hanging around on radiators drying. My sister has a the bigger drying pod. It sounds like you have got a lot more clothes than me to dry ... it may be worth considering buying the bigger drying pod.
The video shows the first time I used the Drying Pod. I have now had it over a year and I have got better at using it. I always do a long fast spin so that my clothes are not as wet as the clothes in the video which had only had a short spin. I also do not put as many clothes in it. I put the Pod near an open window when drying but I do not get the condensation problem that I had when I made the video because the clothes are drier when I first put them in the Pod. I move the clothes around once after about 1.5 hours to avoid wet patches on clothes. After 3 hours my clothes are dry. My only other way to dry clothes is a combined washing machine / tumble dryer but that takes a long time to dry clothes and uses a lot more electricity. I think the Drying Pod is really useful ... if it broke I would buy another asap!
I now give the clothes a long spin so that they are drier than the clothes in the video when I put them in the Pod. I also move the hangers around every hour. I also don't put as many clothes into the Pod at the same time. Looking back at the video ... my test wash was a very stiff test for the Pod! If you want to get clothes dry quickly then a tumble drier is the best solution but the Pod will dry clothes slower and more gently with a lower temperature and no "tumbling" ... and it uses less electricity than a tumble drier. You can also use the Pod to dry clothes that you cannot put into a tumble drier. The Pod isn't a tumble drier so drying time is measured in hours ... but to be fair less than 4 hours these days with long-spin dried clothes, regular hanger movement and less clothes.
Just bought one of vinted thanks for showing me that i put it up properly 😊

A really useful video. It showed me how to put the cover on.
Thanks for the nice comment 😀 I am glad the video was helpful.
Think if I get one it's going in the bathroom with the extractor fan on, for the moisty winds to escape. Good review, thanks. Backflip 4 life.

Definitely going to set mine up in the bathroom with the extractor fan on, only realistic option for ventilation in my flat being so close to the A63

Wonderful review. Lakeland said that cost is 31p per hour
Thanks for the nice comment :)

Is yours still going
I fear it could end up a mistake but it is difficult at the moment
I have clothes everywhere

1000watts for 4 hours and still not dry. Thanks! Now I know that these are inefficient..

I bet you can't even do a backflip
You're right I can't do a backflip 😀
4 hours???
