Our discussion was about possible reasonings behind the supposed wait times introduced by a condenser dryer in said article. One hypothesized it was because of a more efficient heating element, which used more power. Also common wall voltage not in the US. I simply let them know that wall voltage for dryers is the same in the US as it is for them.

I also had no idea what you meant by "special" circuit.

There are plenty of appliances that require more than 120V, and operate safely at these voltages.
