Is it better to dry two small loads - or one big one? My dryer seems to take forever with anything that is heavy (jeans, towels) should I split them up - or do them all at once.

Which is better in terms of saving energy

I%26#039;m assuming that you clean your lint filter frequently?

I agree with both answers. I would also suggest, tho, that you check that your vent hose is clear all the way to the outside. If it%26#039;s not, it restricts air flow and slows drying, and lint build up is a definite fire hazard. 100% 1 Vote
