Find the Right Clothes Dryer for Your Laundry Room
Whether you want a new washer and dryer set or simply need to replace a broken dryer, Lowe’s is the place to find high-quality options to fit your budget. Need help deciding which model is the best clothes dryer? Whirlpool®, Maytag®, Samsung and other brands we carry have plenty of options with smart features for a hassle-free laundry routine.
Gas or Electric
Before deciding on a gas or electric dryer, check your connections. Some dryers utilize natural gas while others use electricity to generate heat. If you have a gas line in your laundry area, you can opt for a gas dryer. If you want to change your connections to either gas or electric, you’ll need to hire a contractor. Gas dryers are typically more expensive than electric dryers but less expensive to operate.
Dryer Size
Dryers are measured by their capacity in cubic feet. At Lowe’s, we have options that range in size from compact 3.4-cubic foot portable dryers to extra-large 9.2-cubic foot dryers. Choose a dryer based on your household size and lifestyle. As a reference, a king-size comforter can comfortably fit in a dryer 4 cubic feet or larger. If you’re limited on space, consider a stackable washer and dryer. If you have a laundry room large enough, you can opt for either top-load or front-load washers. Top-loaders are typically wider while front-loaders are usually deeper.
Dryer Cycles and Features
Today’s dryers do more than simply dry clothes. Some have steam cycles to relax wrinkles while removing odors. Others have sanitation cycles to eliminate up to 99.9% of common household bacteria. As for features, some dryers offer a silent operation option that allows homeowners to mute the end-of-cycle signal on a machine. This is ideal if you want to start your dryer before going to bed. Other dryers have safety features like vent-blocking indicators that let you know it’s time to clean the dryer vent. To read more about cycle options and features, check out our Dryer Buying Guide.
