Electric clothes dryer
Curious as to which would be the most energy efficient drying heavy
items like towels or jeans. High heat? or a lower heat running longer? My guess is the short circuit created by the heating coil would use more energy than the motor turning the drum for a longer period of time. |

Do you mean the least expensive? |

Next to that throw them in set the heat to the proper setting (Cotton on my machine) clear the lint filter close the door and press start. I don't know where you live but here near Chicago you are either taking air-conditioned or heated air, except for a few weeks hear and there, that you have conditioned and are throwing it out of your house to run your neighbors heat pump, LOL YMMV, Rich |
