cost of running electrical appliances

[REECEYBOYX]

if my electricity costs 10p per kwh, how much does it cost to run my tumble dryer (2400w) for one hour?

[Grunty]

2400w is 2.4Kw, so the cost would be 24p per hour.

[alanmclean]

Grunty is correct.

24 pence.Ouch!! How about a rotary line.(Seems expensive.)

and get my clothes nicked kendo2? dryer is cheaper, i thought it would cost about �1.00 per hr, loosely based on what launderette's charge.

Commercial washer/driers would have a faster spin than a domestic machine as their bolted to the floor and run at 2000/3000rpm.this would mean less time for the heating/fan power required. With their overheads it still is a good price.You do have a point.Buy a big dog REECEYBOYX and tie him to your linepost.A golden retriever would even bring your close back.
