00:00Okay, so if you live in a flat, a dorm, or basically any place where a full-size tumble
00:04dryer is just never going to happen, this one's for you. I spent way too long digging through
00:09listings, comparing prices, and reading through thousands of reviews to find the 5 best compact
00:14drying picks for small homes. Some of these genuinely surprised me. Let's get into it.
00:21Starting off with something small but honestly kind of brilliant, these wool dryer balls.
00:27Instead of buying dryer sheets every single month, you toss these in, and they bounce around
00:31separating your clothes so hot air moves through faster. That means shorter drying cycles and
00:36softer laundry without any chemicals. They're sitting at $46.93 for the set, they've sold over
00:434,800 units, and they're rated 4.3 stars. If your dryer is small and struggles with bulky loads,
00:51these are the easiest upgrade you can make. Now this next one is oddly specific,
00:56but if you own a bush tumble dryer, listen up. It's the 7PH2012 replacement dryer belt,
01:02and it fits models like the TD7CNBCW and TD7HPNBW. Here's the thing, when a dryer stops spinning,
01:109 times out of 10 it's just a snapped belt, not a dead machine. And this belt is $9.64.
01:18Under $10 to bring your dryer back from the grave.
01:22It's got a 4.8 star rating from nearly 4,800 buyers, which tells you it actually fits properly.
01:29Before you buy a whole new machine, try this.
01:32Alright, this is the big one, the Homefish Multifunctional Cabinet Dryer.
01:37It's basically a folding drying closet that blows warm air through your clothes,
01:41and it has a timer plus a remote control, so you set it and walk away.
01:45What I love is that it dries delicates, thick coats, and shoes without tumbling them to death,
01:50and when you're done, it folds down and slides into a corner.
01:53It's the priciest here at $353.07, but it's rated 4.9 stars from over 4,000 buyers.
02:01That's an incredibly strong score for something in this category.
02:05If that felt like a bit much, this portable folding dryer is the lighter version of the
02:10same idea. Same concept warm air circulation, intelligent timer, remote control, just a
02:16smaller, simpler build that you can pack away or even take with you if you move around a lot.
02:21It's $250.28, it's sold nearly 4,000 units, and it holds a 4.5 star rating.
02:28For anyone in a rental with no laundry room, no vent, and no space, this is probably the
02:33most realistic solution on the whole list. And rounding things out, this reusable wool
02:39dryer ball kit, available in 3 or 6 packs. Honestly, it does the same job as the first
02:45set, cuts drying time, softens fabric, reduces static, but it comes in at $26.37, which is
02:51a fair bit cheaper. And here's the kicker, it's rated a perfect 5 stars across more than
02:573,700 sales. That's rare.
03:01If you just want the cheapest way to make a small dryer work harder and finish faster,
03:05start here. It'll pay for itself in electricity within a few months.
