Researchers from the University of Michigan are hoping their new study will inspire some Americans to rethink their relationship with laundry. Because, no matter how you spin it, clothes dryers use a lot of comparatively costly energy when air works for free.
That’s what I have and it’s great! No exhaust to waste the hot air, just a water outlet/reservoir. It’s maybe a tad slower than a conventions dryer but it still dries an entire load in an hour or less, for way cheaper.
The other factor that makes a massive difference is having a washer with a high speed spin cycle. Mine is 1200 rpm but I’ve seen up to 1800 rpm. Even 1200 rpm squeezes out way more water than your typically slow top-load machine.
