Want to see how common it is outside America.

Neither.

I have this washing machine that heats up the clothing at the end with steam. They are close to dry, but at first touch, you would swear they were wet.

You hang the clothes out on anything, and within 15-30 seconds the steam evaporates and they dry. Not 100%, pbut enough to hang shirts in the closet knowing they will.

Dryer. I have an en-suite washer+dryer for the first time in my adult life, so you bet I'm gonna be laundering day and night.

I only use a dryer when it’s cold and grey enough outside that it’ll take a day or two for everything to dry.

So that’s most of the time.

I wear a lot of clothes that don't like the dryer, so I air dry those. The best part about living in America is having a separate washer and dryer, though.

Items that can shrink are never put in a dryer. We use a portable clothes line.

When I volunteered abroad we used those clothes-hanger-thingymajigs. I grew quite fond of them but am too cheap to buy one for the home.

I put my clothes on a "clothes horse" on the balcony. No matter the season, even in winter. I don't even own a dryer. It's better for clothes and saves energy.

As a Badass 'Murican, always dryer.   Preferably, those 1950s-era Honeywell quasi-industrial machines where you stick like 2 quarters in and will bone-dry your laundry in like 5 minutes.  

Hanging clothes out to dry on your balcony is very "babushka" to me.  And is something I used to see in apartment blocks all the time in Rome and in the Balkans.  

The funny thing is, I know for a fact that American-style "nuke" dryers are vastly superior because German nationals who had access to US military installations (because they had jobs there)...I would see them all the time on Sundays washing and drying their clothing in our 'Murican laundromats (one of the very few amenities on post that they had free access to outside their work duties).  They would bring tons and tons of sacks of their laundry from home because, quite frankly, those Siemens machines on the economy SUCK ASS and don't wash or dry sh1t!

It's a washing machine with a condenser dryer.

Indesit IWDC7125

It's the best machine I've ever had.

I own neither a washing machine nor a dryer.

I have to go to the laundromat to wash my clothes anyway, so given there's a dryer there that takes 10 minutes, it's far easier to just use that.

And when I was still living at home, we always had both a washing machine and a dryer.

Thanks.  This would work great with my place.  My venting situation on the old dryer unit is very sus (15 foot pipe through the ceiling) so I've been clotheslining it.

Underwear, socks, and pajamas in the dryer; everything else on the rack. I actually keep two dirty clothes hampers, one for stuff that goes in the dryer and one for stuff that gets hung up on a rack in my garage.

Sometimes I use one method (usually winter), and sometimes the other (hot summer).
