Definitely better than other commercial clothes dryers but it doesn't have the durability that previous VILEDA dryers had. I had a previous model and it was like new for up to 4 years, but this one has started to rust in two years, all the plastic parts on which it is supported have come off and it wobbles. I would not buy it again. I feel like they have compromised the quality. Maybe I will try the aluminum one. I hope this helps.
