I am quite torn where tumble dryers are concerned. I wish we did not have to use them at all because they feel like an absolute waste of energy but I am not sure how one can survive in the UK without one.
What are your thoughts on this?

I have one, trying used on cotton items. The things do not want neighbour and world see. Mostly put thingd on the rad to dry or few hours outside then quickly in dryer.

Yup, try living in Scotland and not using one! Avoid it whenever possible, but a necessary evil for me....
What do you use in place of a tumble dryer?
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
I have a pretty big laundry room so I hang everything up, don't have a tumble dryer. I have heard though that it's good when you have a dog cause it removes all the hair, but I haven't tried so I don't know. so nay for me
I hope death is joyful, and I hope I'll never return -Frida Khalo
If I seem insensitive to what you are going through, understand it's the way I am- Mr. Spock
Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'–and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire
I have a dirty beagle and the hair is awful. The drier is very helpful in keeping black clothes clean.
Aye, there simply isn't room enough in the winter to do without.

There's absolutely nothing like dryer-warm sheets and blanket in the winter.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi
They're great when you wash a tissue that was secretly hidden in a pocket. I use mine all the time and consider it one of my few luxuries in life.

Generally nay, but right now it's a definite aye! This apartment would be permanently subtropical, if we didn't have a tumble dryer - at least, I think that's what we've got. None too sure about this strange English equipment. ;-)
Bunch of dratted button munchers and lint spreaders if you ask me. There are stand up dryers that make more sense (because they work better - because they work) are a lot 'neater' tech than tumblers. When I was forced to use one I'd but off the non-essential washing until it was an absolutely perfect day to dry them.
I only use the tumble dryer for bedding - something that absolutely has to be dry and ready for the evening. Everything else, I prefer to let dry naturally - makes for easier ironing that way too...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
I like the old wooden clothes horse too but I'm done with washing lines - except for towels and jeans.

I don't have a dryer, just a washing machine. Whenever I wash laundry, I just set up a laundry rack and hang the clothes to dry. It does take up some space, but so would a dryer... And a laundry rack is only there in your way for one day at a time, not always.
My mother has a dryer, and especially towels feel much better after they've been in a dryer. If you let them dry naturally, they feel awfully rough at first. Dryer also removes some lint, which is good.
As long as I live alone, I probably won't ever purchase a dryer. If I'm ever going to have children, it would probably come in handy, though, when there would be much more laundry to do.

Aye - need 'em wth a family and the wetness of the UK. We can wax lyrically about the merits of breeze dried garments and wind soothed bedding, but, without a tumbler, it won't happen here in winter. I've brought in towels off the line in winter when they've been hung out and they're just frozen.
