Adding washer/dryer difficult?

[Don Bradner]

The every-night method is our normal way also, unless we are boondocking.
110-volt dryers take a long time. Unvented versions take even longer, and use a
lot of water in the process.

To compensate somewhat, the units have very high spin rates to get rid of as
much water as possible before drying. That adds to wrinkles, so the newer units
have some variable-speed spin cycles that reduce the wrinkles somewhat. They are
quite marvelous machines, even if less than perfect.
