Mine has similar settings but they’re named in ways which actually tells you why you’d want them that way: “Ready to Iron”, “Ready to Hang” and “Extra Dry”, things like that.

My dryer has a “less dry” setting.
Who likes their laundry done rare?

So it actually adds water?

It just seemed nuts hooking up a water line to my dryer the first time I got one with steam cycles.

I never hooked mine up because I didn’t see much point in steam… But now I kinda want to.

You can mimic most of the steam features by throwing an ice cube in before running the dryer.

It’s useful for when I forget about my laundry and the clothes are already mostly dry, but not completely.

So they can build a nice layer of mildew?

Some fabrics wrinkle when you allow them to sit in the dryer totally dry. For those you want to take them out and hang them for the last bit so when they reach their driest state they’re hanging and not crumpled within the dryer.

That actually makes sense for things you want to finish drying on a line so they don’t heat up too much and shrink.

Also for ironing

Also for if you enjoy the feeling of cold damp underwear.

Cold damp underwear sucks.
Cold damp socks on the other foot...
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 year ago
I mostly agree with you, but I feel like damp underwear would be awesome if you were someplace that’s hot and arid.

This makes sense… But my washer defaults to this mode and I can’t figure out how to change it. By default all my clothes are almost dry.
