Heat Pump Tumble dryer

Not great when it rains every day for weeks or it's freezing or you live in a city with filthy air

not every solution needs to be expensive and energy intensive

Those don't really work unless you keep the room warm and well-ventilated. Heating a room is energy-intensive and requires a fair bit of space.
We use them but have to run a dehumidifier especially in colder months. It would be (a bit) interesting to compare the energy use of a dryer compared to the energy use to heat and dehumidify a spare room.

spare room????
This goes up in front of the log burner. Dries in no time.

But it would be a vaguely interesting comparison.
Not sure you'd need a dehumidifier though. Do you not spin the clothes before hanging them up?
Or is your house damp/small?

They dry much much quicker with a dehumidifier running.

And they aren't expensive to run. You just need to put it in a room you aren't using for a few hours.

They are cheaper to use than a tumble dryer.

Why would I want my living room full of wet clothes? It's Victorian house but that would be like stepping back 100 years. Maybe get out the copper bath too? We have a dedicated laundry room and dehumidifiers are a huge boon.

I dried all the washing on the line yesterday.

The towels are like sandpaper.

I love my towels like that. Scratchier the better.
