in msia its not so much about drying the clothes... of coz it helps with weather like these few days.

i've been using dryer since my condo days til now im staying in landed but i stil using it. and its the same dryer for 10yrs. i mainly use as ironing.

if u load the dryer once your finish washing , of coz its going to cause a bomb on electricity. it will go on and on and on ... since your clothes are so damp.

usually i will dry my clothes like normal either hanging indoor overnite or outdoor (whichever permits) and then dump them into the dryer. once out of the dryer , hang properly and u dont need to iron anymore.

very handy if you got a lot of shirts ...
