<p>We have had our LG for a few years now and it uses a third of the electricity of our craigslist Kenmore.  With the rebates at the time it has paid for itself already.<p>The big difference in day to day use for us actually comes by way of the lint trap.  Not only do you have to clean the lint trap every time (as normal) you also have to clean the heat exchanger every few loads.  This process is a pain in the butt, you have to lie on the ground and gently brush away wet lint off the fins while avoiding bending them.  The more lint that is left on the fins the less efficient the dryer is and the longer it takes to dry a load.<p>This will ultimately end up causing an issue long term (know idea how long) as more and more lint makes its way past the accessible portions of the exchanger and the dryer will take longer and longer.  You can in theory take these apart and power wash them but it is not user friendly in the least and probably not worth the effort of a technician.<p>All together we like the dryer though.</p>

<p>I wonder if it is more of an issue with how dominant the two brands are?  There are a lot of exclusivity deals with restaurants.</p>

<p>Looking into a bit more, the only cats that would be likely candidates that I can find would be a margay (likely too small) or an ocelot.  If either were the case, I would think it would be a bigger story considering how few live in Texas.</p>

<p>><i>Also, that's not a Bobcat. Probably best if you're going to write a sensationalized article, at least spend 5 mins to try to get your facts straight.</i><p>How can you tell?  Some quick google searches of Texas bobcats show similar looking cats.  They do look a bit different from what I am used to in the upper midwest.</p>
