Brazilianguy, your country is 60 Hz. This unit is for 220-240V, 50Hz. I don't think they sell export units for 60Hz. |

1- Personally, I'm not too fond of propane in the house. 2- The vent needs to go outside DIRECTLY. The moisture emitted will otherwise cause mold and the fumes are deadly / poisonous in large enough doses. 3- Why not just line-dry and let the dryer fluff and iron once already dry? That is what I have to do because my full-sized dryer (normaly 220v 30a circuit/line) now works on 110v and takes 2 to 4 HOURS! 4- If you have the space and want an electric full-sized dryer, (makes for much less ironing and creasing than a compact unit) I can forward to you details as to how to make an extension cord that will feed the dryer your 127v to all components including the heater. The female end will fit a normal 3 or 4-prong dryer plug/cord(are they standard there?) and the male end will fit into any ordinary wall-socket. The "operation" is therefore non-intrusive to the dryer. :-) Another alternative is to take a very heavy-duty extension cord (say for an air-conditioner) and wire it right ot the back of the dryer with a little "jumper" wire to give the heater 127v. --We'll talk more! |

GOOD!
Follow you dreams! I support you! Gas dryers here are also less expensive to run in most areas! However home-builders typically run a line/circuit for an electric dryer and silly American consumers have NO CLUE that gas is greener /cheaper / just as safe and works exaclty the same as electric. Well maybe gas is less harsh because CH4 + O2 => CO2 + H20+ heat. So the water vapor emitted by combustion makes the heat a bit less harsh! What angers me so much is when there is a gas line a few yards/meters away and yet the dryer is electric! I would have an electric dryer in winter to save the heat and moisture, but in summer, when one cant line-dry gas dryers is greener, IMHO! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DREAM. Have you checked Frigidaire, Whirlpool, General Electric's websites to see if they have gas dyers for "export" with your voltage/hertz(cycles)? Can you get a gas dryer from a neighboring country and ship it in? With regard to the gas pipe connections, is plumibng there done in metrics or inches? I fear a U.S. dryer's gas connection may be in an "awkward" size for you! BEST OF LUCK! If I come to visit you do you think they would notice a gas dryer strapped to my back? |
