      Kabaka said it right. Dryers are slow compared to washers.

      I live in Taiwan and it’s stupid humid here. So by the time the 1st load finally dries, the 2nd load has been baking in the heat and in most cases, already mold/stinks.

      I wasn’t the one you asked, but: dryers tend to take much longer than washers — sometimes twice as long. I frequently find myself leaving wet clothes in the washer while I wait for the previous dryer load to finish, so that I can then put another load in the washer.

      In short: so you never have to wait for a dryer to finish and thus can sustain maximum laundry throughput.

        Oh, that makes sense. I just try to stagger my dryer and washer when doing multiple loads so that I can empty the dryer before the washer finishes, but I can see how having a second dryer would help me on a lazy day.
