Pros: Haier is the third largest appliance maker--worldwide. They have a large footprint other countries--especially many in the eastern hemisphere. They started out slowly in the US with chest freezers. Now, their products offered here include large appliances, LCD/LED TVs, and window A/C units.

Cons: The PRC brand still is not well known in the US--becoming more prominent, though.

Other Thoughts: I'm butting in here in disbelief!

Are you certain that the special 220V+ outlets in your homes are lacking? It's not a standard wall outlet--it's a very large and heavy-duty outlet--taking very large prongs. It should take four prongs or three--four is code for newer homes, these days. Given that you find such an outlet (generally black or dark brown)--your circuit breaker also should prove OK. Given that your 220V+ oulet is legacy 3-prong, you may need to replace the 4-prong cable on newer dryers with a 3-prong ones

Pros: good price

Cons: Guys, this machine has power requirement: "Requires 208-240 Volts/60Hz".
Are you going to directly plug in the outlet of 110V in USA?
Have to buy a volt transformer to change into 220V.

Pros: Spouse thinks it is cute

Cons: The drum turns a freezes, makes a thumping noise, relay clicks, then shut down the machine, basically not working right out of the box. Should have taken the do not buy advice from another reviewer of this product

Pros: None.

Cons: Spinning Drum inside Dryer did not work. Machine would turn on, hum, then immediately deactivate. No Power cable, had to purchase cable and change power outlet and circuit breaker for home operation just to find out it doesn't function.

Pros: Dries cloths better than the desert in the summer

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Amazing price for what you get. It's ugly, but it's a work horse.
