We still fire up our eco dryer all summer. I’ve never had to work on it. Thing runs like new day after day.

still use one every couple of days.....and it rains in Britain. Can't stand the smell of toasted clothes dried in the tumble dryer, nor the soapy smell of the so called air freshener people put in one.
Plus why pay for a free service.....It costs more to run a tumble dryer than it does to wash your clothes....Winter or summer you can guarantee at least two rain free days every week in the UK .

Its gotta be worth a brownie point or two...

Have fun

That's what my mom used until the kids grew up and moved away. If we came home from school and it looked like rain we pulled the clothes from the line and brought them indoors before they became soaked.
In the deep winter my brother and I packed wet clothes into 2 laundry baskets, packed our red wagon, and walked a half mile to the laundry-mat. We did our homework or read while the clothes dried. We then folded the clothes and returned home. On a good note, we discovered we could sweep under the washers with a yardstick and retrieve lost coins; we spent them at the soda fountain across the street.

It's a LOT easier on your clothes AND VERY energy efficient. What do you think lint is? That's your clothes gradually being torn apart.

My mom's sons didn't care for ours. Especially when we brought the boards in off the line in winter.

Free, very efficient, quiet, uses no electricity, no carbon footprint, and it looks cool.

I think they're telling us to go back to the Amish lifestyle.

no. I think we are saying it's not a bad option and doesn't need to be ridiculed.

My wife has been doing it that way for as long as we have been together. The only time the dryer gets used is when I do the laundry.
