Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life
Vodulas@beehaw.org 3 months agoAt least in the US, hookups are a big issue. You can hook the inlet up to a faucet sometimes, but the drain needs somewhere to go. Most dryers need a vent to the outside too, so that has to exist. I have never seen a leas that would let you add hookups either

Dryers with vents are ancient my dude. I empty the reservoir on mine every once in a while and it’s just plugged in the wall. I literally am not even able to buy a vented dryer anymore because they’re so obsolete.
And if you’re able to hook up water to a faucet, you sure are able to hook up a drain.

Not a dude.
Dryers with vents are very much still the norm around here, and I am not even in the middle of nowhere (unless you consider Seattle the middle of nowhere). Hell, gas dryers are not uncommon.

Ventless dryers are great, but they also cost twice as much as vented dryers. Most folks I know who live in apartments don’t have that much extra cash. Meanwhile vented dryers can be found on craigslist for free very frequently

Lmao that’s insane dude. I can get a modern dryer without a vent second hand for like 90 euros. What a weird and exclusively American problem. I learned today you guys are way behind in laundry technology.
