Do you use a tumble dryer?

Yes I use mine some days even although I put clothing on the line it does not dry particularly well. Although not every thing is suitable for tumble drying these garments have to be hung on my airer to finish off.
I always part dry towels on the line and finish off in the dryer to soften
We have had so much wet weather lately that line drying has become more erratic.

I , reluctantly, because of cost, use mine all the time.
I can no longer put laundry outside to dry.
My shoulders can’t cope and I can’t stand long enough.
In the summer and if it is calm I do put things on airers on the patio but have to watch all the time in case they blow over.
I do miss “ pegging out”

Where I live is predominantly wet, so the tumble dryer is used more than I would like. When it's dry, I do hang washing out.

Yes and no. I prefer to line dry, but that’s not always available.

I do DD2’s laundry and I like to turn that around quite quickly, so I sometimes end up tumbling stuff to get it back to her.
I’m not bothered about letting my own laundry pile up, but in long spells of poor weather, it’s either on a rack inside the airing cupboard or a quick tumble dry.

I have never owned a tumble dryer and never felt the need to have one even when the children were young or later when the grandchildren lived with us. I always dry the washing outside when at all possible but on a day like today it will go on a portable line and then on an airer in a large back room we have that was a playroom but is seldom used now.

yes, with regular use this winter. A condenser dryer and no damp air in the house. Quite cheap to run

Yes I use one condenser one wouldn’t be without it. Only use in the winter months

I had one at our last house, in the garage, but here, it’s not practical. I line dry when the weather permits, and have a large walk in airing cupboard with a small radiator, but I do sometimes think a tumble drier would be useful again.

Not too often if I can help it, I prefer alternative ways to dry clothes, certainly not in the summer. It's a back up, occasional use, I could if I had to, manage without it. My grandson, when he visits, often ask me to wash his football kit, he likes to take it home clean so for that sort of quick turnaround I use it. Mine is also a condenser type.

We have a condenser dryer that gets used when we can't peg washing out on the line or just to finish things off.
The clothes that cannot be tumble dried go on the heated clothes airer.

No I don’t, there was one in the house when we moved in but I gave it away and replaced with a dishwasher. I always line dry even in Winter as long as it’s not raining. If not on an airer in a back room with windows open.

I was a big fan of mine for decades, until one day there was a very loud popping noise and a strong burning smell from it It was outside pdq and I've never had one since, at the time there were a lot of media tales about fires. Since then it's been drying outside or, more often, on racks inside using my dehumidifier.
I've got a heated rack but find it fairly useless, it dries what's in contact with the rails promptly, not so the rest.
I still miss the tumble dryer as it definitely gave the best results but I'm not risking one anymore.

I haven’t used one since the DC left home 20 years ago. I hang them outside when I can, even if it’s only for a couple of hours then put them in a spare bedroom on the airer.
I bought Meaco dehumidifier this winter, it’s great, the clothes are dry in half the time.

I have a tumble dryer, in the garage, which I use for drying sheets etc. Smaller items go on a rack indoors. I peg out outside only if it is warm or dry enough to be useful.
I clear the fluff trap on the dryer every time it is used. This is the main reason for fires

Yes, and I use it regularly.

I have never used one. I line dry outside as often as possible during Spring and summer, and during the winter, it dries quickly on airers as the house is warm and most dry overnight.

Ours is used mostly during bad weather. Towels certainly benefit from a go in the tumble dryer. The items we can't tumble dry go on a clothes horse.
In good weather we use the rotary dryer outside and get the sun to do the work.
The water and lint drawers are emptied after every cycle but it is never left on overnight or when there is nobody in the house as there is the chance they may catch fire.
We wouldn't be without ours.

I didn’t have one until the children were in their teens. It made life so much easier for our busy family.
I use one when I was towels or bedding. Rarely for anything else. In the cold weather, I put washing to dry overnight in the sitting room where the wood burner will be heating the room. If the burner isn’t in use, even jeans dry on the clothes driers.

I have a washer dryer but I seldom use the dryer. I try to hang stuff outside as much as possible but I often use a heated clothes horse. The clothes horse is much cheaper but you have to leave it on for at least a couple of hours as it is much slower that tumble drying. I often turn it off after 2-3 hours and leave the washing on the horse overnight before sorting it.

I finish things off on the refresh cycle when they haven’t quite dried outside. Not at the moment, it is hot here just now. Half hour on the line and it’s dry but it won’t last, Autumn is approaching.

Yes, but only in a very limited way. I prefer to line dry if possible but the wet winter here has put a stop to that at the moment.

I love my tumble dryer.

Love living in a flat - love having no garden to worry about BUY only downside is not being able to hang washing outside. Really miss that. So, when I moved here I bought a Heat Pump Condenser tumble dryer. Lives in my guest bedroom(craft room.
Heat pump dryers take longer to dry a pile of washing, but much less in running cost. (they sort of run on an 'eco programme').
Even so, since energy costs started to soar upwards, I try not to use it too much. If weather is dry and sunny, dry off most of my weekly washing on large airers in that room with windows wide open. Also have a small dehumidifier in that room.
But on nasty gret, wet days, it is a relief just to put it all in the dryer, over and done with.

Haven’t got one. Love to hang lines of washing out in the back garden.

It looks damp today, I will put one lot of washing under the car port.

It might not dry at all, but will have an airing.

Then it will go on a clothes horse in the hall until dry enough to iron.

Finish off on the radiators to air properly.

My towels are always hard, but don’t mind.
