yes and we even bought special filters. The machine is just an overpriced piece of shit- glad I don’t have to deal with it now
My dad isn’t extravagant or wasteful, but he puts WAYY too much value on branding

Ok. Cuz mine does that sometimes. I’m not the only one in the house that Can clean it out. I’m just the only one that does with any frequency.

One of the dryers in our building a while back didnt dry, and the one right next to it smelled like death. Turns out they vented to a window well under the (low) deck, and a rabbit died and started rotting in the window well.
The smell backed up into one through the vent, and whoever installed the other vent in their infinite wisdom put a pest guard grate at the end of it that was so badly clogged with lint that air couldn’t really blow in or out.
Point being, is the dryer that cant dry adequately vented?
Talk about a difference in humidity. In my block there’s a shared laundry room and whenever the dryers have malfunctioned or been out of service my clothes always dry out in about a day. Certainly not three.
I know how I’d respond to this lol

Do you not have a radiator, Samul?

Yup. If it really takes that long, that’s horrible!
It can do in my damp little corner of the world. Depends on what the clothes are made of, how much time we spend with heating on, etc.
Europe is too broad, I’m in Europe, and one day is fine here to me. Sweden. It obviously isn’t enough in Italy.
I can honestly say I’ve never had clothes needing more than two days to dry in the UK/Ireland, and I’m fairly frugal with my heating.

Yes we do. That’s why a dryer is useless.
And it was kinda the point of my post before people started jumping to my throat for “wanting to decide on my dad’s finances like they are mine.” As if it were weird, in the context of a family, to care about a close relative wasting money on absolutely useless stuff.

It might be one, two, or three days depending on weather. It’s usually not more than two days, but I was quoting my father’s words and he said three days.
With a radiator, like @yorkshireiron mentioned, it doesn’t take too long anyway. Which only goes even more to show my point. Do we need to spend € 350 for something that a radiator can already do?

Plus you always hear how they’re the worst for increasing energy costs. No idea if there’s any veracity to that but it’s one of those things everyone seems to think.
I bought a little plug-in heater for my office and that works for me; don’t see the sense in running the heating in the whole house when I’m mostly in the one room all day. It comes on morning and evening.
Sounds very sensible to me.
I feel your damp pain- My room in Shanghai averages 90%humidity in the summers
