Do YOU Need to Buy a Dryer?

Do YOU Need to Buy a Dryer?

Anyone who has been inconvenienced by a broken down dryer knows the sacrifice in time it takes to dry clothes the old fashioned way. Even if you choose to go to the laundromat instead of hanging up your wet clothes to dry, you still have to take the time to tote them over there and it still costs you. To me, it's a pretty big let-down when you open up your dryer to fold your clothes and they are still damp. You close the door and turn the dryer back on only to have the same thing happen when the timer goes off again. And that's when you realize it wasn't a mistake on your part, the machine just isn't working. It may not be the end of the word, but it's not fun to deal with a broken dryer. 

As with almost all electronics, with time and manufacturing innovations, the dryer has actually gotten relatively cheap. In the 1950s when tumble dryers were gaining popularity, they cost an average of 230 dollars and were only in 10% of American households. The price probably had more to do with that than anything. A lot of families either couldn't justify the cost when the sun did it for free or they couldn't afford it. If you are thinking that price isn't that much, back during the '50s, that would be like paying over $2,200 for one today. While I am sure I could find one that cost that much, it better help me lose weight at that price. The average cost of a modern tumble dryer is $340 in 2019. If you went back to the '50s and reversed the inflation, that amount would be more like 35 dollars. Now that's a cheap washer by today's pricing standards.
