Power-input. US dryers would typically work on 110 volts mains. Those similar dryers in the EU or Australia are working on 220 volts mains. Took me a while to click on why the great differences in working-times. 15 amps wiring in the US means 1650 watts, the same wiring in EU is 3300 watts.
- sokoloff 3y agoThat's not it. Electric dryers in the US are overwhelmingly 240V and on a 30A breaker. At 80% of rated, that's 5.7kW available. (Gas dryers here are typically on a 120V, 15A circuit.) Every heat pump dryer I looked at on the home center's website is 240V. (Edit: I found one Miele on another home center that was a 15A@120V.)
