Hello. My gas dryer is not economically feasible to repair (its very old) and I want to buy a new one. I've never had to buy a dryer before. I found two that interests me and would like some advice on which would be the better buy.
The first one is a Sears Kenmore with 22,000 BTU's. The other one is a Maytag with 18,000 BTU's of heating power. My understanding is that it would be better to buy the dryer with more BTU's. Is this correct? Would the difference in BTU's be significant in its abilty to dry clothes.
The Maytag is somewhat more expensive but not a great deal. It has a door that swings open while the Kenmore has a drop-down hamper door. I like the door that swings open better.
Thankyou.
