We had a really old dryer and it took FOREVER to dry our clothes. It took about 3 1/2 hours to dry a load of towels and about 2 hours to dry regular shirts and pants. I know it isn't suppose to take that long so we bought a newer used dryer and it's on it's second time through the heavy cycle. Is this normal? Maybe I'm impatient but I hate waiting between loads. I'd have my laundry done so much faster with a faster dryer.
