gas dryer

Flame-heated laundry machine

A gas dryer is a clothes dryer that uses natural gas or propane to generate heat, as opposed to an electric dryer that uses heating elements.

Gas dryers typically cost more upfront but are cheaper to operate: We switched to a gas dryer to lower our utility bills.

They require a gas line hookup and proper ventilation.
