Depends on how often you use it. 90% of the time you can just dry it on a clothline, dryrack, etc

Powerconsumption is still the same per usage.

Yes, but if you don't use it everyday it doesn't matter

Oh energy costs only go up if your doing the thing that costs more energy “every day”. Got it.

Yes they go up if you dry you clothes in the dryer every effng time. with physics still in place, a newer machine will still cost you a fortune in energy that way PLUS the cost of buying a new one every 5-10 years, because the normal ones just suck now.
Luckily I bought extended warranty, so Beko is replacing mine with a new one once a year for 5 years...
An old machine, that does not brake, has no more cost than the occasional usage, which is negligible. Still, the POINT is dont use your dryer if dont absolutely need to.

Ahh. I see what your saying. Keep the old one around and just use it sparingly. I got hung up on the “every day” thing, but I understand your sentiment now.
