clothes dryer

Description

A clothes dryer is a device that subjects laundry to a hot-air assault, leaving behind the gifts of wrinkles and static cling. Celebrated in many households for its trifecta of mysteries: it dries, it shrinks, and inexplicably alters the scent. Pretending to give busy modern humans time, it in fact devours electricity bills and the lifespan of garments. Revered as the savior from dampness while simultaneously infamous as the lint-producing fiend, it stands as the merciless heir of thermal fury.
