    This one might save power because it will only dry as long as it needs to.

      Opening the door and checking will also make sure it only dries as long as it needs to.

        Not really. You lose all the hot air every time you open it up and then it has to use juice to heat up again.

          Right. Right. So let’s make it run even longer than it needs to. That’s a great solution.

            It’s certainly more simpler than your dumbass idea that will get the company sued when some shmuck decides to fondle the vent or some bs.

              I’m sorry popping open a door for one second is too much for you. You might not be clever enough for a clothes dryer.

              And that’s ok. Not everyone has to be good at the very basics. Luckily there’s plenty of companies willing to sell you over priced over engineered crap.

                Mate, most people are not interested of following laundry machine spin for 4 hours. Normal people put clothes in, go do something and get the clothes out when they hear a peep. Or 10 hours later whatever.

                  It’s a clothes dryer.

                  Edit. I can only assume people downvoting have a difficult time understanding washer and dryers.

                  So yeah, I guess you’re right.
