Could you recommend any dryer model in particular? |

Per Ken's post above, it sounds like the DR7 is a safe bet after all.
If your machines are located where they're easily visible, a matched set would look better. Otherwise, most here will agree that Whirlpool-sourced dryers are good performers and reliable, based on a design that has been in use for more than a few decades. |

It is the most heavily built and easiest to repair dryer on the market at this time.
It does offer timed dry settings if you find you don't like the electronic dry settings. While the WP designed dryers have long been a favorite of mine they are not built like they used to be, the SQ you can literately stand on. The SQ is especially nice in the gas versions as it is the only new gas dryer you can buy where with removable of just two screws you have full access to the gas burner for service and occasional cleaning inside the dryer.

Will not run any hotter than your current KM Gas dryer, all SQ models have a lower heat setting.
There is no temperature difference between the same dryer in either gas or electric, however a gas dryer is a little easier on cotton fabrics because when you burn gas it produces moisture so a gas dryer does not have the ability to over dry fabrics as much and should cause a little less shrinkage of natural fibers.

One of the poster's point about the 2018 TOL SQ dryer having a moisture sensor made me wonder if this feature was used in the TOL 2017 dryers like ADGE9B. Anyone know if the moisture senor was new for 2018? |
