Or use the dryer on low.
The fact that anyone is using anything higher than low for their clothes is shocking. If your clothes aren’t drying, it means you need to split the load into 2 separate ones, people!
People are wildly impatient about the dumbest things. I've been trying to push heat pump dryers because they use like a fourth of the electricity of a standard electric dryer but people don't want to because it takes slightly longer to dry heavy things like towels. But they have the added benefit of using very little heat because they're abusing the fact that they are condensers and are making the air very very dry so they don't need as much heat so they are far gentler on clothing
But they just hard refuse Despite the fact i know for an absolute fact all these people wait fucking hours after dryer is done to collect it or move it around. So it's a worthless argument
I’d look into that if I could afford a house, it sounds pretty cool!
If you have to pay you will fill the machine with more
I’ve seen these dummies absolutely fill a dryer, and then have to pay to run it a second time because everything’s still damp. So they’re spending the same amount, but wasting more time (assuming you have access to two or more machines, which usually you do if you’re paying for it).
Wow that is a whole new level of cheap… also gross 🤢
Wow that makes even less sense! Some people, I tell ya!
Also you can just keep it going. An hour usually does the trick for me, but occasionally I'll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn't be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.
Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the times I do extend it aren't necessary. Like it's not even at the damp point, it's just at the point where it's ambiguous if they still have a bunch of moisture and have been fine when I decide to just take them out.
Which is another good sign for drying on low: it doesn't matter if there isn't any more moisture to evaporate, they are just being warmed instead of cooked.
My dryer's "energy saver" setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.
