Only problem with the feature is you don't want to leave wet clothes
in the washer overnight while you are sleeping and it doesn't help
when you have more than one load to do :-(
Best bet is simply to go with efficiency and hang dry as much as
possible. With the new front loaders at maximum spin, I can count the
times I've used my dryer in the last 8 years on two hands. Clothes
come out virtually dry and hang drying them takes only a couple of
hours. Alternatively, if you can't hang dry, the amount of time for
the dryer is also dramatically reduced.
