I suspect the ones in the US use a lot more power/heat and actually get the clothes dry quickly. The downside is it's not great for the clothes long term and it's not very environmentally friendly.



Yes, that could be it. In the US a drying cycle took 30-45 minutes, while here with the dryers I used took 3-4 hours.
