DRYERS FOR EVERY HOME AND BUDGET

What are the advantages of gas dryers over electric dryers?

Gas dryers are generally more energy-efficient than electric dryers and can dry clothes faster, which can lead to savings on your energy bills over time. They use natural gas to heat the air and require a gas line hookup. While the initial cost may be higher and professional installation is needed, the operating costs are typically lower, especially in areas where gas is cheaper than electricity.

What features should I consider when purchasing a new dryer?

When purchasing a new dryer, consider the capacity to ensure it can handle your typical laundry load. Look for dryers with multiple drying cycles that cater to different fabrics and levels of moisture. Energy efficiency is also important, so look for ENERGY STAR® certified models. Additional features like steam to reduce wrinkles, sensor drying to prevent over-drying, and a quiet operation can also be beneficial.

How do I know if a dryer with a steam function is worth the investment?

A dryer with a steam function can be worth the investment if you often deal with wrinkled clothes and want to reduce ironing time. Steam cycles can help remove wrinkles and odors from clothes, making them ready to wear straight out of the dryer. If you frequently dry delicate items or need to refresh clothes without washing them, a steam dryer could be particularly useful.
