Clothes Dryer
 
Clotheslines and pulleys and clothespins, while nostalgic, are not year-round technologies in the Sierra foothills. Hazards
are: ash from volcanic eruptions (Mt. St. Helens, a long time ago), ash and soot from wildfires, ultraviolet, snow, rain
and, in our case, amazing amounts of pollen from nearby very large cedar trees.
We have no preference or opinion at this time about gas versus electric except to mention that a gas dryer would still  
function during a blackout or other power loss.
Maker: Amana
Model: NED4855EW1  - your needs may vary - make sure the dryer can handle towels (rugs, if you use them) and silks
NOTE: we currently do NOT use dryer sheets so silks, among other objects, can have lots of static cling. Among the brands
of hypoallergic dryer sheets are (alphabetically): All ®, Arm and Hammer ®, Bounce ®, Clean People ® Molly's Suds ®,
Seventh Generation ® and Snuggle ®

As with the washer and other large appliances, check the widths of your doorways. The vent needs 6" rear clearance
