Sure. I've gone camping, too. I'm just saying trying to live normally on a peak power of a couple kW might be optimistic. The dryer alone draws two or three.

- leoedin 14y agoI have never owned a dryer. In the UK owning a clothes dryer is quite unusual - clothes drying racks work quite effectively. I suppose if you decide that you must live a "normal" life, then you can't really change anything about it. If you decide that you want to live a comfortable but low impact life, then there's plenty of things you can do to reduce your peak power.
- krzyk 14y agoSame here in Poland, I would have never seen clothes dryer if I weren't in the US few years ago. Doesn't the use of such dryer make ironing harder?
- Dove 14y agoI suppose it might! All the clothing I have that should be ironed is also dry-clean only, so it never sees the dryer. I do have some clothes that I dry on a rack, and they always come out very stiff compared to the stuff that goes through the dryer. I feel like I should hit those sweaters with a rugbeater or something before I wear them.
