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.

You would do well to replace it with a more energy efficient heat pump one. It will pay for itself in a few months, and then you're killing the planet less.

Reply to comment by Patelved1738 in BMW M leather jacket 40+ years old. I inherited it from my stepfather 20 years ago and wore it every year since then, like across fall & winter time. The zip is now broken, the color faded away but still - by far - my favorite jacket. by k7v1n

Probably you are thinking of the maunder minimum, where the sun output less energy. The collapse of the gulf stream would probably be much worse.

Yeah, sando is a pretty natural way for Australians to shorten their words too.

That's great to know, I love their style but couldn't bear to buy any more boots I can't repair (looking at your Timberland)

Solovair get my vote :) RM Williams look great, but I just couldn't justify spending that much on boots.

It's going to be even worse when they try and include Roko's Basilisk.
