I am actually shocked to hear that any Danes have a clothes dryer.

In most of Europe clothes dryers are relatively uncommon (people use clothes lines or for inside use you have drying stands ).

So with the Danish emphasis on energy conservation one would think clothes dryers in Denmark would be an expensive luxury.

They're still not that common, at least in Copenhagen, partly because most apartments are pretty small, so space is at a premium. But in recent years I've seen combo washer/dryer units that reuse the same tumbler for both functions, so they take only the space of a normal washer.

As for the cost, well, many Danes have money to spare.
