Yeah, dryers themselves are a waste of both money and energy.
Depends. They do save on space, which is why it's so weird that most US people have them and europeans who generally have much smaller homes usually don't.
How does having this massive machine save you space compared to a bit of string?
The machine takes only about half as much space as the rack and it's easily stackable with a washing machine.
edit: I think you were actually referring to a clothesline instead of a rack? I never had a place to actually put up a clothesline, where do you put that? Straight through your bedroom?
If you want a rack you can get collapsible clothes drying racks that just fold up to almost nothing. As far as a washing line, put it up anywhere, just need 2 hooks. Usually dry stuff outside on a line other than in winter, could have a few lines across the kitchen to hang stuff from if you wanted.
Whilst I'd prefer not to have to hang my laundry I'm not willing to pay for that much electricity, particularly as I keep my shirts on hangers, so it's literally a case of moving them from one rack to another.
