Drying without heat?

40 min is where I set my Lady Kenmore 120V compact. That's usually sufficient, depending on dewpoint. Considering it has been a workhorse since 1984, I have no complaints. Not only will it plug in anywhere a hairdryer will, but it has wheels.

What's interesting with my late 70s GE dryer is that it has instructions for both 110 and 220V hook up. Just recently installed in my Wash House that has only 110V hookups, I wired it for 110. Veeerrrry low heat, but it does warm up a bit. Would folks really hook up a "full size" dryer with 110V for daily drying?

full size 110 for daily driver..

Well, I did, lol... In some older homes the wiring would not support 220. most have had that corrected over the years, but many still havent. Mine is capable of 220, but I prefer not to tinker with such old wiring if its not necessary..
