This ultra-convenient home dryer by Whirlpool is a professional-quality machine that will have you spending a lot less time in the laundry room. This machine has 6 cycles that will take care of everything from delicates to towels. This is a front load Whirlpool dryer. Dryers which load in the front are the most common, and allow you to use their tops for sorting and folding laundry, or even just for storage. Some manufacturers now make top load dryers, which allow loading and unloading without bending over, but since they open from the top they can't be used for storage as easily. Both types of dryer dry clothes equally well. With Quiet Mode you can install your dryer where it's most convenient without worrying about the noise. The WGD8300S gas dryer also has a cool down feature which completes the drying process and prevents burns from dangerously hot clothing. This model can handle big loads and bulky items. Since it can hold 6.7 cubic feet the WGD8300S gas dryer can dry even the largest loads all at once. If space is a consideration then this is the dryer for you-- it's stackable, so you can install it above your washing machine to save space. Dryers can be either electric or gas-powered. Electric dryers typically cost a little less initially but a little more to run. Gas dryers are more expensive, but cost less to operate. Electric dryers usually operate on a special 240-volt outlet, while gas dryers require gas and exhaust hookups. It's important to note that this is a gas dryer. It measures 28.66 inches deep by 27 inches wide by 36 inches tall. This item is part number WGD8300SW.
