Would this dryer be good for hand washed cashmere sweaters? ( Cashmere fibers become very fragile when wet so if it tumbles it might not be very good for the sweaters.)

When I can wash sweat shirts and sweat pants in my Wonder Washer then transfer them to my Nina Soft Spin Dryer, spin for approximately 3 to 5 minutes and the clothes are almost dry, I'd say that the centrifugal force would be to much for cashmere. I hope this helps.

That is how I washed it but I but my dryer settings on low heat. I did not let it dry long and I hung it up slightly damp. Did not have any problems.

My hair is neither fine or short. I have extremely curly hair and wanted a dryer to provide a low air flow to dry my hair curly without the frizz. This dryer works perfectly. So to answer your question I believe it may do exactly what you want. A slow gentle flow to finger style your hair.

I have washed mine. Don't dry on too high a heat if you can avoid it but it survived my washer and dryer. And my dryer doesn't have a 'low' setting. I never bothered to check the tag though...

Yes, I wash all my wool and cashmere sweaters in an HE front loader with this, and it works very well. However, the scent lasts longer if hand washing.

I did machine wash, at a professional laundry place. Extra large load. I also placed in the extra large dryer and dried until slightly damp. Do not over dry. Mine came out fine. Good luck....

Esther...It can certainly be used that way...Good Question! I had just been using it to dry smaller articles of clothing rather than using a dryer. I'll try that as well!!

I would not waste my $.. I'm having problems w/ my dryer not heating sometimes.. Plus it don't have a strong fan that blows the air.. I previously had a larger Vidal Sasson dryer it lasted for years.. Not this one I'm totally dissatisfied.

I have used this for handwashing clothes for quite some time now and it works great! Just be sure to rinse very well...good luck!

It is very bulky so I brought ours to a laundromat and used the large capacity washer for $7.00 It worked fine and then dried it for $2.00 in their large dryer. It came out great!

I am Frank's wife. He bought the dryer for me (No, not as a Christmas present). I also have fine short hair. I use the dryer when I use rollers because it has a wide opening so it covers a large area at one time. I have also used it as you describe with fairly good results but my hair won't hold a curl and has a lot of cowlicks. The prongs that came with it are heavy and my arms are weak so I have less success with that.

Well it worked on my cashmere sweater. I just laid it flat. You have to go over the same area a few times, but you will see results.

i imagine if you can get it to work it would be safe, but i would be careful cashmere is quite perishable and you do not want to make a hole. Did you buy this yet, you should read my review, it broke quite soon after purchase, maybe you should look further for another one.

I never tried it on pure cashmere but i did on cashmere mixed with wool with very good results. I would try to use it first on a hidden area, very lightly. Hold it a bit higher than you usualy do and don't stay over one spot for too long.

I've put mine in the dryer before. Although they really don't take long to air dry, a few hours, maybe overnight is generally all it takes. They're nice big laundry bags. I can fit 2-3 sweaters in mine.

I have only used it once for my cashmere sweater and the sweater came out looking like how it looked before washing it.

You can wash it but use warm water (cold water will make it brittle). To keep the washer from getting unbalanced you can throw some towels in the cycle. Air dry or put the dryer on air dry (no heat).
