Clothes dryer, available and serviced in the US

Looking for recommendations on a small electric clothes dryer. Tiny is OK.

Ideally DC powered, any voltage is OK. Otherwise can be 110 or 240 AC will match an inverter to suit.

Most important is robust "buy it for life" reliable longevity - ideally mechanical dials and switches.

Next most important is service, parts, support, ideally available in the US.

Energy efficiency would be a plus, heat pump technology? But that likely reduces the BIFL aspect?

Thanks in advance

Splendide washer/dryers have been popular in RVs and boats for many years. I have a combo unit in my boat that is now 22 years old and still working.

The Daewoo mini seems to have solid reviews. It is 240v/60hz, and (I think) only available in S. Korea. Although, you can purchase via ebay and other 3rd parties.

No idea about the service/parts/etc. Possibly the warranty won't be valid.

We have an old fashioned clothes ringer we use, it works amazingly well.
