Dryers have been around nearly 100 years with impressive technological advances. Home Depot has been in business for 45 years and sells some of the best known brands of dryers in all sizes and finishes.
In this article: LG 7.4-Cubic-Foot Large Capacity Vented Smart Stackable Electric Dryer, GE 7.2-Cubic-Foot Vented Gas Dryer and Samsung 7.5-Cubic-Foot Vented Stackable Electric Dryer.
Electric dryers typically have a lower upfront cost and more models available. Gas dryers may cost more initially, but they use less electricity.
Some dryers are designed to stack vertically with a washer of the same brand and size. Other dryers have built-in technology to communicate with a compatible washer.
You will pay more for dryers that can be operated remotely by a smartphone app, but the convenience may be worth it. If you don't mind keeping a closer eye on your laundry, then a more basic dryer will suffice.
