For those thinking about going no-dryer: You can also get small, indoor, foldable clothes drying racks for around $20. I used one of these my entire adult life and pretty much never needed a dryer. Later on I got a house that came with a dryer, but only use it for large items like bed sheets.

Be aware that if you are in a more modern "tight" house, that drying indoors like that can increase the moisture load tremendously, and if the house isn't setup to handle it, you can get moisture damage from drying clothes.

The water has to go somewhere, and if it's not going down the drain or out the dryer exhaust, it's going into the air. (This may be desirable in some cases to balance humidity).

Same reason that storing wet wood in the basement can lead to water issues in the walls.
