Dryer Recs

Several years back, I asked for recommendations on a new washer and Speedqueen was by far the most recommended. I replaced that and have been happy with it. Currently, my 15-20 year old Maytag dryer is out and I’m waiting on a part to see if I can fix it. I have kept this one going over the years but, I would like to have some recommendations on a good electric dryer in case I need to replace it. What would you all recommend for a Lowes/HD type dryer that will hopefully last for a long time?

Speed Queen definitely a front runner if you don't have stackable units. Whirlpool & Maytag are good as well and will run you for half the price (again, if not stacking). I have the LG Wash Tower so I trust this LG appliance, but I know others aren't quick to trust LG.
Just do NOT buy Samsung.

I have a Speed Queen electric dryer. It's 7 years old and have had zero issues with it.

It's the washers you have to worry about. I had a $300 Amana from Lowes and it was excellent. Have a high end Maytag now that came with the house and I noticed no difference besides a glass door and more settings.

Man - I just don't think Speed Queen dryers are that much better. Just don't get a Samsung or LG, that's always been the advice I've gotten from people who know what they're talking about.
For dryers, just get a standard brand, the size you need, empty the lint every time, and make sure you have a really good vent to outside.

Just bought a SQ electric a few months ago. Thing is a tank. Only regret is I got the total, no frills model that doesn't have a audible notification.

Love my Speed Queen washer. Bought the matching DC5 dryer about 6 months ago. I think the timer is already out on it. It dries sometimes and never shuts off. Wished I would've went with the Speed Queen dryer with the dryness sensor instead of the timer style DC5.
Again, I reiterate, I love my Speed Queen washer. The dryer is nothing special though.

Gas
Whirlpool or Maytag, don't splurge on the dryer.

LG has the twenty, yes 20, highest rated models of Electric dryers on the Consumer Reports list of recommended dryers. I just replaced our 20 year old Maytag that I had repaired a few times with an LG.

Go buy a used Maytag for $150, it'll last for 20 years with minimal work.
