Clothes Dryers

Japanese do NOT, generally, use a clothes dryer. They use sun and air. If it’s raining, they simply hang up things inside the home. I have visited a few appliance stores already, just to see some prices, and not a one offered a purposed clothes dryer.You can find washing machines with clothes drying capabilities (an all-in-one machine).

 Solar/air power is the standard. Everywhere you go you see clothes hanging out on a line on the balcony, rooftop, or in the window (during inclement weather they simply hang things inside).

Back in the states, where you hear so many people talk about saving energy, pretty much everyone uses a power hungry electric/gas dryer. In fact many U.S. communities actually ban hanging clothes out to dry; it so ‘unsightly’.
