The Costway Electric Folding Clothes Dryer Operates Efficiently

— December 4, 2018 — Tech
Hanging clothes to dry is common practice to avoid shrinkage but can take extended time to get done, so the Costway Electric Folding Clothes Dryer has been developed as a solution to this problem. The rack works by having an entire load of laundry hung from it before being zipped up into the enclosure and turned on to circulate air for your choice of time. The inner heating technology will quickly and effectively dry your clothing in a short period of time without the need for venting or a dedicated laundry space.

The Costway Electric Folding Clothes Dryer works with up to 20 pounds of laundry and addresses the rising number of urban consumers who need a space-saving way to launder garments.
