Best propane clothes dryers

Start with the Speed Queen DR5003WG. It's the one to buy if you want a dryer that lasts: simple mechanical controls, a commercial-grade build and a long warranty, and it's sold by gas-appliance specialists who can confirm the propane setup.

Who the others suit:

• GE 7.2 cu. ft. gas dryer — the value pick; long vent runs (up to 120 ft) and a reversible door help in tight laundry rooms.
• Whirlpool WGD4815EW — a straightforward, widely sold Whirlpool with plenty of service coverage.
• Maytag MGD5030MW — 7.0 cu. ft. with Maytag's sturdier feel.
• LG DLGX8901B — the premium, feature-heavy option with a big drum and smart features.
• Kenmore 7.0 cu. ft. — a basic, no-frills box.

One caveat: propane isn't a separate model — gas dryers ship natural-gas and need a propane conversion kit (often included or sold cheaply). Confirm the kit for your model before install.
