Seriously, it went from the drain after the last rinse into dry. That 100 or 129 thousand BTU burner came on and just burned and blasted the moisture right out of there. Look on the plus side; it was wonderful for wash 'n wear, no chance for wrinkling caused by spinning. Of course, none of the early combos except the Duomatics spun fast enough to wrinkle wash 'n wear. What a shame it was never tested by the consumer mags so that we would have some idea of the drying speed. It probably was pretty fast given that the BTU input was almost 3.5 times as great as the next highest burner input, that of the WP gas models with 37.5 thousand BTUs and the OK & M's operating temperature was somewhat higher on the maximum setting and this max temperature could be achieved faster with the larger burner. The OK & M should have been an efficient dryer since it was basically built as a water tight dryer.
