- Symbiote 7y agoIn the European Union the most inefficient devices are simply banned. (In some cases, I don't keep up-to-date with consumer appliances.) For tumble driers, scroll to the annex of https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32012R0932 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A... "From 1 November 2015: — for condenser household tumble driers the energy efficiency index (EEI) shall be less than 76, — for condenser household tumble driers, the weighted condensation efficiency shall be not lower than 70 %." (And then a definition of what that means.)
