I think old dryers are better at this. I think it's energy usage regulations that are making dryers this way. Dryers from decades ago were not subject to them.

Perhaps.

Except it may be worth noting that this dryer came to me with the matching high-efficiency front-loading washer that it was originally sold with.

I'm not near them right now, but I think they both have remains of an EnergyStar sticker on the front.

They're both very, very digital compared to what I consider "old" appliances (like the sort that had motorized mechanical timers running the show).
