cool, i personally prefer the tumble dryers, they fluff things up more, mines fun to watch, especially when it stops dead and then starts up again in the other direction, there is a rather long gap of time between the tumbles and at first i thought it had brokedn but then it started up again (*phew*). Also in this hot Australian climate, if you hang things out they dry too quickly and then end up over drying, my F&P dryer is sensor controlled so it turns off when the clothes are just right :-) Yay for dryer technology!

My very first apartment was total electric and had a couple of nifty electrical gadgets available to builders. In the bathroom was a metal-door, that opened into a wall cabinet that was a small 110 volt dry 'em while they hang, clothes dryer. It would warm a towel. | ||

In 1981 when I stayed up at Scarborough Beach just north of you I did a load of laundry at the Motel on the beach. And they had a Maytag washer, BUT they had this BIZZARE dryer! It was a floor to ceiling Metal shower stall with a door and metal (rusty) racks inside. You hung your load all over the place and a very puny heater-blower wafted hot air up over them through a vent at the top. IT TOOK FOREVER! My underware took 3 Hours!! Now I know Maytags never spun worth a darn but 3 HOURS! I missed the Scarborough Tour Bus!! I did enjoy the beach though! Absolutely the best beach I have ever been to outside of the one I grew up on Nauset on Cape Cod. Jetcone | ||

yeah, whenever my washer or dryer is down, i use that laundromat only i think they must have removed that particular dryer. When i first moved outta home i moved in with some friends of mine and they had a drying cabinet out back, at first i thought it was a refrigerator but when i opened it, it had racks inside. It had a very powerful fan blower that would dry my heavy work pants in 30 mins. The only thing was that there were three of us and we each had a 'laundry week' where it was our turn to do the laundry that week and if it was raining we could not fit a whole load in there. I ended up using the big dryers in that famous landromat on Scarbourough Beach. Btw, i live in a suburb called Hillarys which is just above Scarborough, bout a 10 min drive and a 30 min cycle, an absolutely beautiful bech, i still pinch myself when i see it, just to check that i'm really there :) | ||
