Seems highly unlikely. They say it takes 3 hours. Tumble dryer is a smaller space and doesnt take as long.

  It uses a heat pump, so it’s certainly much more efficient than a dryer that uses gas or resistive heating element. Like, by a lot. That being said, energy prices in the US are a lot lower, so the incentive to lower energy usage isn’t there.

    Efficient dryers also use heat pumps (ours does).

    Not all of the US, of course. We have plenty of incentive to reduce our energy use in the Bay Area :)

  I used one of these while vacationing last month. The system had a 3 hour timer but you usually had to run a few cycles or be diligent about rotating your overlapping and touching clothes to eliminate wet spots. The unheated fan also seemed to run 24/7 to prevent mold so I am curious what the energy bill for the shower was. A big factor I haven’t seen anyone mention ITT is that you’re pretty limited on space on the shower curtain rod. You can only hang up a few garments on there. Which makes sense because our washer was quite small, too, but still produced more wet laundry than the shower could dry. Back to drying - you can go and hang up clothes on hangers to use the shower rod more efficiently but that: 1) is really annoying to do all the time, and 2) still takes a lot of time because now parts of your shirt are almost 3 feet away from the heat and circulating air, instead of 3 inches. The entire setup was very interesting but required the specific bathroom/shower layout and added a lot of friction to my day. Maybe natives have figured out the annoyances I didn’t in my 2 weeks of vacation.
