Do you have a clothes drier machine? Or do you use nature's clothes drier (the sun)?

I don't have a drier machine and use the sun, but of course in periods of regular wet weather it means often the clothes washing backs up beyond one washing machine load.

I do have a fold-out drying rack (I call it my 'chinese laundry') but rarely use it.

I have a genuine Australian-made 'Austral' brand clothes line outside that I installed myself just after I bought the house to replace a horrible folding up one. It's a present-generation 'Hills Hoist' (Hills Industries is no longer an Australian owned company whereas Austral is).

I have a dryer. I would love to hang laundry but I don't go in the backyard anymore . My husband was bar-b-cueing one day I went out to talk to him and he was standing on a snake and didn't even realize it, I just saw something moving out the corner of my eye. I don't do snakes ! So I just use my dryer . I haven't been back there since.

Heat Pump tumble drier as outside isn't ideal with pollen allergies. Have a manual foldable rack for more delicate items.

I can remember my mother bringing in the clothes from the line. They were frozen stiff. I have a washer and dryer in one machine. It doesn't have a heating element or a vent. It has a heat pump and condenser so the water condenses inside the machine and is pumped into the sewer. Very energy efficient and kinda cool technology.

We had a tumble drier for convenience when the kids first arrived.. But I never bother replacing it when it failed and put up a rectractable clothes line uner the back deck area, out of the rain. The first line didnt last. The second one is still there😷
It is a lot of work hanging laundry to dry and collecting it after. Sure smells nice though.
We like the convenience of tossing it all in the dryer and moving on to the next task on the list.

Nature's clothes drier, finishing by airing on a rack over the stairs.

Though in wet weather I sometimes resort to using the bathroom as a drying-room, with a dehumidifier.

Have a dryer but prefer clothes that have been drying in the sun. Not always possible but nice.

We have an electric clothes dryer. Trying to dry clothes on a line outside takes forever in our humid climate.

We have one, but I always prefer to dry naturally when I can.

I have a drier but only use it for shirts with buttons. Everything else goes on an old rack I bought in Italy.

Definitely air drying.
No need to waste energy for drying.

I have a few items that I air-dry, the rest go in the dryer

Waiting for a new clothes dryer to be delivered in two weeks, $1,100 expensive

We definitely have a dryer. It's a necessity with how humid it is here.
