Cheapest time to run a tumble dryer on Agile
Dryers are where Agile usually saves the most, because they use a lot for a little while.
The default 2.4 kWh is a conventional dryer load. A heat-pump dryer is often nearer 1 kWh, so reduce the figure rather than trusting the default. Negative prices, when they happen, mean the units pay you.
