How is my HE drier more efficient if I have to run a load multiple times to actually dry clothes?

673 views

I used to have a drier from the late 90s which dried my clothing in one go. The one I have now takes 3 or 4 goes. Apparently the new one is more efficient but I don’t understand how that can be.

Wouldn’t it take up more energy due to the extra cycles?

edit- I would really appreciate it if someone explained how the drier is more efficient than my old one instead of questioning my laundering habits. I clear the lint trap and load small loads. I even switch the settings to “most dry”. I’m not the issue here. This “high efficiency” drier is.

Mine sucks at drying too. Has since it was brand new. Only way to get clothes dry is to turn the heat up, put it on time dry, and definitely turn off eco mode. If eco mode is on, it will cut off the second it thinks stuff is dry. Which apparently means if there is one item that dries ridiculously fast in that load, if that item is dry, so must everything else be, even if they’re made of thicker stuff that likes to hold onto water, like jeans. I have literally never had jeans dry once on eco mode.
