No matter how simple or sophisticated the model, most clothes
dryers will do what they are designed to do: dry clothes. Some, however, dry
clothes more efficiently than others, with less work, and less wear on fabric.
Before buying a clothes dryer, take a quick look at features, capacity, and
cost-saving options that could save you both time and money.
Dryer Types
The decision to purchase a gas dryer versus an electric dryer will depend on
