Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

After the 25 minutes of "broil-drying", most of the table linens were dry and surprisingly not wrinkled to death!! This yellow tablecloth and a few placements that were somewhat heavier were not quite dry - they got another 7 or 8 minutes (I put the timer between the 5 and 10 minute marks).

Success! The stragglers were nicely dried and not overdried!

This is most promising - I was a bit leery of the direct-heat method of heating the drum and the low air flow that Tom had mentioned. I guess I was expecting that the end result would be overdrying, but, wow! It turned out fine. I guess the rule of thumb with this kind of dryer is start off with a shorter time than you think and then run it again if the load isn't adequately dried.

I'm surprised that you were able to see the the Calrods glowing. Hotpoint advertized their "high density" elements that did not glow red in operation. Somewhere I heard it called "black heat." I think that you will find that like most low airflow dryers, the Hotpoint will deliver soft dried fabrics.
