hhmmm ? propane ? Thought of propane, is that a "bi**h" to have "put in" so to speak ? cheaper than electric when its all said and done ? A "propane" dryer up front would cost "more" right ? (thanks) | ||

May I quote Bobby from the cartoon "KING OF THE HILL" "Dad says Butane is a BASTARD GAS, GO PROPANE." HAHA' But Kenmore and Whirlpool are the best dryers. Bulletproof as can be. | ||

We love our 93' Whirlpool electric dryer. It really dries the clothes quickly and relatively wrinkle free. Ours has never had a service call or breakdown. And it's been moved around the country a few times since we first bought it. When we vacuum the kitchen floor, we just use the small round brush tool to vacuum the dust off the top of the machine. | ||

My favorite dryer of all time was the Frigidaire Wide Mouth Dryer that matched my 1-18 washer. I will agree, however, that the best dryers these days are the WP/KM/KA machines. | ||

Kenmores
My folks had a late '93 Kenmore dryer with the lint screen on top, and it was the best dryer we have ever had. The thermostat went bad and my father, being a typical American consumer, had it crushed, rather than repair it. He replaced it in 2003? with a new Kenmore with the lint screen in the front. The new dryer was so slow and inconsistent that I could hardly stand to use it. Also, the interior light never worked right. My folks just had the '93 Kenmore DD and the new dryer junked when they replaced both of them with new GE front loaders. Some folks just never learn, mine go from good to bad to worse! Dave | ||

I would have to say---
The best dryer that i have ever had was my Maytag hands down.Even My Miele dryer is a bugger sometimes. The Maytag always dryed everything all of the way though. I especially like the Halo of Heat like the one that I grew up with. Nothing would kill that thing. Even with the filter in the back, it was the best dryer that they ever made, with the dependable care a close second. I could dry a load in my Neptune Dryer in about 40 minutes. They are great!! I would say Speed Queen in 3rd, followed by the WP/Kenmore. The New Bosch dryers are, as i am told, also really good, the Nexx series. My 2.888889999 and three fourths of a cent. :)

Fisher & Paykel's topload dryer also operates with lower temps and higher airflow ... so they say. I've not checked the exhaust temp directly, but I once placed an instant-read kitchen thermometer in the lint bucket and got a reading of about 122°F on either regular or denim cycle (I don't recall which).

If you are a sharp dresser....
Why not go for a Maytag Neptune Drying Center? I'm trying to talk one of my sisters into buying one because I have to take her to church and I need the upper compartment to hang my suits in where they can be "freshened" and "pressed" with the heat. I think it can help me be a sharp dresser! It can also dry athletic shoes and baseball caps. The regular dryer below is very big. At the Sears Outlet stores you can get them as a bargain, but better get them soon, as I wonder if Whirlpool will discontinue them. Or maybe, they will come out with a better one!
