Yup, dryers consume a lot of electricity. They are high wattage machines and each drying cycle may take 20-30 mins or more.

Dryers are popular in the West due to cold seasons when you cannot dry outside. Here in Malaysia with so much sunshine I don't see the need for a dryer, unless maybe you live in a condo (but even in condo you can air dry in the yard).

Heard from one of my neighbour's who use the wash and dry combo washing machine, the whole cycle (Wash + dry) takes about 3 -4 hrs depending on the load. Does it come out completely dry?

Also, I believe the drying function consumes quite a lot of power (so more expensive electricity bill).

If you have space, just do normal air drying on a clothes line.
