That is the standard size. They generally have a 22-23a heating coil

We tend to wash 5kg of washing, then dry it for about an hour and a bit. I guess your dryers are faster. Why the hurry?

We have **** to do ;-)
A dryer cycle for a full load is about 45 minutes but it has a sensor
that adjusts as the load gets dry and may run longer or shorter,
depending on how it is doing

But you don't need to wait for it. I assume you have more than one set of clothes? It wouldn't matter if it took all day to dry!

I suppose, if you only do one load a day but I think they try to make
the wash and dry cycle as close to the same time as possible. People
with lots of kids may be doing several loads a day and it is easiest
if you make fewer trips to the laundry.
