FAQ

What are the benefits of using an electric dryer? + -

Electric dryers are generally easier to install, requiring only a 240-volt outlet and no special hookups. They also tend to be more cost-effective upfront compared to gas dryers. Additionally, they offer a variety of features like timed drying, sensor drying, and steam functions for added convenience.

How does an electric dryer work? + -

An electric dryer works by pulling in air from the room and heating it up. This hot air is then circulated through the drum where your clothes are, causing the water in them to evaporate into steam. The steam is then expelled out of the dryer and into a vent.

What features should I look for when buying an electric dryer? + -

When buying an electric dryer, consider features like capacity, energy efficiency, noise level, drying time, and additional features like sensor drying or steam functions. Also consider the layout of your laundry room to decide between a front-loading or top-loading model.

Do electric dryers use a lot of electricity? + -

Electric dryers do use a significant amount of electricity as they need power to heat up the air and turn the drum. However, many modern models are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for ENERGY STAR certified models for the best energy savings.

Can I stack my electric dryer on top of my washing machine? + -

Yes, many electric dryers can be stacked on top of compatible washing machines to save space in your laundry room. However, you should always check the manufacturer's instructions before doing so to ensure it's safe and won't damage either appliance.
