Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but why two dryers and one washer? Are the capacities vastly different?

    I wasn't the one you asked, but: dryers tend to take much longer than washers — sometimes twice as long. I frequently find myself leaving wet clothes in the washer while I wait for the previous dryer load to finish, so that I can then put another load in the washer.

    In short: so you never have to wait for a dryer to finish and thus can sustain maximum laundry throughput.

    Kabaka said it right. Dryers are slow compared to washers.

    I live in Taiwan and it's stupid humid here. So by the time the 1st load finally dries, the 2nd load has been baking in the heat and in most cases, already mold/stinks.
