We bought an especially energy efficient dryer in Europe a couple of years ago. It takes about twice as long to dry a load of clothes (2.5~3 hours) as the one at my folk's house in North America.

That's part of how it gets to a high efficiency. You sometimes have a fast and inefficiency mode as well, although I've never needed to have my clothes dry right now, so I just run the dryer during off-peak hours and the clothes are dry in the morning.
