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.

i don’t think there’s a more efficient thing to use electricity on than drying. unless your old dryer was gas and you went electric, i don’t think there’s anyway to say a heating element is anymore efficient on a new dryer than one from the 90s. converting electricity to heat is an incredibly efficient process in and of itself. maybe the drum being direct driven by a brushless dc motor is more efficient than a older brushed motor with a belt? like that could perhaps get some more efficiency into it.
