A portable dryer is a compact and lightweight appliance designed for drying clothes in small spaces. Unlike traditional dryers, it can be easily moved and set up in various locations, making it ideal for apartments, dorms, or during travel. Many models use electricity or can be powered by a standard outlet, providing convenience without the need for a permanent installation. These dryers typically come in different styles, including ventless and stackable options. Some portable dryers use a combination of heat and airflow to dry clothes efficiently. They are often designed to handle smaller loads, making them suitable for individuals or small households who need a quick drying solution without the bulk of a full-sized dryer.
