Best Gas Dryers For 2019
So you're ready for a new dryer, but feeling a bit overwhelmed at all of the options. First and foremost, you'll need to decide between a natural gas and electric dryer. (Many times this depends on how your laundry room is configured and plumbed).
Typically, electric dryers tend to cost about $100 less upfront. But gas dryers make up the difference over time and cost nearly half in energy usage per load. On average, gas dryers average 15-20 cents per load, while electric averages 30-40 cents per load. American families wash approximately 300 loads of laundry every year, meaning these savings can add up over the lifetime of a dryer.
Both options work well - it depends on personal preference and having the necessary plumbing required for a gas dryer. If you do, Appliance Solutions is offering some seriously BIG GAS REBATES this month (September 2019) on natural gas dryers. You can get up to $550 back, which makes many of our dryer options essential FREE! It almost sounds too good to be true. But it's really as simple as this: get $500 in rebates for a new natural gas dryer, and $550 in rebates for a new ENERGY STAR® certified natural gas dryer.
In celebration of these BIG GAS REBATES, we wanted to highlight a few of our favorite dryers, based on popular homeowner criteria, including:
