After washing clothing or other materials in a washing machine, drying them with a clothes dryer is a regular household task. Due to their necessity to spin and generate heat, clothes dryers consume a lot of electricity. A dryer uses between 1800 and 5000 watts of electricity, with a normal dryer using about 3000 watts.

To determine the energy usage of a clothes dryer utilizing 3000 Watts for 0.25 hours per day at a cost of $0.10 per kWh, click calculate. This is equivalent to using the dryer twice every week for 52.5 minutes.

Kilowatts per dayhelp Here you will see a value for how much energy (in watts, kilowatts or megawatts) the device will consume per day if it is used for the time you specify. The formula "Hours used per day" × "Power use" is used.:

Watts Kilowatts Megawatts

Hours Used Per Day: Indicate the average number of hours per day that the device is used. If the daily power usage is less than one hour, enter the number as a decimal (for instance, 30 minutes a day equals 0.5).

Power Use (Watts): Type in the watts that represent the device's typical power use.

Price (kWh): Enter the price per kilowatt hour you pay typically; our calculators use a default value of 0.10 (10 cents). Check your power bill for the precise cost.

The greatest approach to save energy while drying clothes or towels is to hang them up; this will completely do away with the need for a clothes dryer. You may save electricity and money by setting out some hang lines in your garden or on your balcony to dry your clothing. In the event that hanging garments to dry is not possible during the winter, using a dryer may be necessary. We advise against thoroughly overdrying your clothing; instead, let it air dry until almost dry before hanging it up inside to finish drying.
