fact from http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?...up&pgw_code=CW
The average American family washes almost 400 loads of laundry each year, so based on strider3700 saying that his dryer uses 939 kwh/year one has to assume that you would dry the same almost 400 loads a year. Then that would work out to 2.3475 kwh/load
older dryers where rated by energystar ..my old dryer was rated at 929 kwh/year
