Modern dryers are actually quite efficient. I live in an apartment without a balcony, and bought a new electric condenser dryer the other week. A standard cycle at half load (4.5kg / 9lb) uses 1.2 kWh. If you use it once every two or three days, over the course of a year it will use about the same amount of electricity as a fridge freezer.

But yes if I was living off grid, it would probably be the first thing to go...
