        The dryer can help you a lot. Dryer is abt $400, just 1 mth of maid's salary, ROI very fast. What other automation do you have to cut work load.

              Hi dears,

              Is it true that a dryer will sky rocket my electricity bill?

              We are a family of 2. I am using twice a week for full-load of clothes (1 on weekday and 1 on a weekend...when I use it on weekend, I throw in my 2 bedroom bedsheets as well). I am still waiting for my first electricity billl....and by what my friends tell me...my bill will be very huge cos of dryer.

                I also use steam ironing ... Very fast only use half the time of wat I use in normal ironing. However the first few week of using steam iron is difficult coz not used to it. After getting the hang of it ,it's v easy.
