Yeah, if you don't actually have the capital that is a good reason.

I would try and save to though, since you'll be spending a lot more money in the long run if you don't switch.

I was very reluctant to get a dryer, even though my girlfriend wanted one for years, and after getting one they are FAR more efficient and do a much better job of drying clothes than the old ones I grew up with.

The humidity sensors in particular are fantastic - no over or under dry clothes, and almost no creases!

Just take it out when it is 'cupboard dry', fold, and put away.
