When it's time to replace your dryer, the many ( many) models on the market can leave your head spinning. You can get good performance at all price points ( from $350 to over $1, 000) , but machines with more capacity, a variety of settings, and special features will bump up the cost. Find your match by considering how the dryer will fit into your daily life:
A model that stacks with your washer is great for narrow laundry areas — just make sure you can reach the dryer controls, which will be on top. Full-size dryers are usually 26 or 27 inches wide but can be anywhere from 24 to 30 inches. Watch for models curve that out in front, which can be bulkier. And double check that it will fit through all doors and hallways en route to its destination.
