If the additional cost is 250 euros, 500 dryings are needed to make it profitable.
How many years of use does it represent?
Here it becomes very complicated as a calculation, since it is VERY variable . It ranges from 5 / week to 5 / month, depending on the weather (weather) and the weather (available).
So basically I would say but without being sure 10 / month, or 120 / year so about 4 years to make a profit, at constant electricity prices of course ...
From another point of view, I discussed a few months ago with an LL machine technician / repairer (but since I was not broken down I did not discuss this). He told me that a washing machine, dryer, lv ... was made for 7 years, "normal" use in a "normal" family, ie 5 / week. Or 5 * 52 * 7 = 2548 uses.
If that's true, that makes a famous bundle of kWh saved in the end!
On the other hand, I would be astonished that he would last 21 years with me (2548/120)
Yet another point of view, if everyone had this sl system, we could close a power plant, or at least 1 reactor ? To calculate ...
