5000 watts

I'm going to stop using the dryer. If I do two-three loads per week, and each load takes 45 minutes, that will save at least 10kwH per week. Dryers have to be the dumbest appliances. They are only moderately more convenient than clothesline/drying rack, but such energy hogs. In Grenoble, the Marciaus didn't even own a dryer, and it was never a problem.
