Clothes dryer or no clothes dryer? [View all]

So, (and sorry if I've done this before), but, when it comes to drying clothes, which do you prefer?

I've come to the conclusion that air drying is the best. Everything lasts longer, smells better, and one saves on the electricity bill.

And an added advantage, if one is on vacation, when you get home, you're still smelling vacation!
