Appliance feature request: clothes dryer intake ports (lemmy.world)

So each clothes dryer appliance has an exit port. You connect a hose to it to vent the damp air to the outside.

I want all dryers to have an intake port so that I can use cold air from the outside for drying. This will keep me from using (expensive) warm air from the inside of my house.

I suspect this will also make the dryer more efficient because the cold incoming air could contain less humidity.

Boy what a Downer Debbie response.

If you want to save money, hang more stuff,

Yup, good idea. We've been doing that for years. The dryer is only run for smalls.

...and cut a second hole...

Not a problem in my case. I'd be happy to do it to keep all that air from being pushed out of the house.

You’d be better off trying out one of those indoor vent exhausts...

This is not an option for dryers that use gas, if you want to live that is.

I remain unconvinced and would still like that intake port.
