Drying space that folds away

SAHARA is a useful choice when storage between sessions matters as much as drying capacity. Check both its open footprint and folded dimensions: folding reduces storage height, but the operating appliance still needs ventilation and working space. The manufacturer manual specifies household use.

From a folded body to seven shelves

The EU reference measures 56 × 36.5 × 28 cm when open and 56 × 31 × 9.5 cm when folded, in width, depth and height order. Shelves need their own storage arrangement when the body is folded. Set it up on a suitable level surface, fit the air filter and keep the inlet and outlet clear before loading.

Two sequential timers each offer settings from 15 minutes to 99 hours. The heated range is 30–74°C, with a separate fan-only option when your process calls for unheated airflow. The EU electrical reference is 220–240 V and 690–820 W; those ratings are not a constant electricity-use promise and must not be confused with the 120 V version.

Frequently asked questions

Is SAHARA limited to one 99-hour timer?
