| 1372604 | 2014-04-13 22:02:00 | Yep, starting to get cooler in Wellington (top of a hill in Ngaio). Seeing as I'm not allowed a dryer, and it's a 50/50 chance that the clouds lift away long enough for any washing to get dry, I'm considering converting the washing machine into an open place fire. |

| 1372607 | 2014-04-14 02:02:00 | I'm lazy, I use my dryer instead of the clothesline even during summer half the time. 90 mins once a week @ 25c a KWh even if it was a 2KW dryer (it's less than that) = 3KWh a week or approx $3 a month. I can afford it. If you have one of those households that's doing washing every 2nd day or more though it probably adds up. The worst thing about a clothes dryer is the water it pumps out if you have in inside and not vented, a far bigger issue than the power consumption. I can't vent mine due to the way my house is constructed so I vent the whole room instead with an extractor fan. |

| 1372611 | 2014-04-14 06:22:00 | Don't know what the temp is in Taupo at the moment, just know it is cool enough to put on warm vest over t-shirt. I have a dryer for sale, $40 if anyone is interested. (pick up of course.) Haven't used it in ages but tested it the other day, still goes good! LL |

| 1372612 | 2014-04-14 09:24:00 | I do not use a drier because it wears clothing out. I prefer to line dry washing. | Bobh (5192) | ||
