- pandaman 4y agoSaving depends on the cost of gas and electricity, so you might be right for some locales and wrong for others (to the point that a heat pump dryer will cost more than gas dryer), but how do you imagine clothes will last longer? Do you think temperature causes more wear than a spinning drum?
- henvic 4y ago> how do you imagine clothes will last longer? From my own experience + the fact that it dries at a much lower temperature.
- pandaman 4y agoI am questioning that fact. In my experience temperature is not destroying fabric, people used to iron their clothes for decades. Spinning in an underpowered dryer for longer will put more wear on the fabrics and stitching.
- bombcar 4y agoYou can kind of compare the amount of lint you get, but often that is caused by the washing machine and not the dryer.
- pandaman 4y agoI imagine the mechanics of wear are very similar between a washer and a dryer. If temperature was the main contributing factor then ironed and dry-cleaned clothes such as uniforms would deteriorate much quicker than machine washed/dried ones.
