Electric or gas?
Electric dryers need a 240-volt outlet. Gas dryers need a gas line and a vent. Four of the five dryers here are electric, and the PTD60GBPRDG is the gas option.
Capacity is similar across the group: 7.4 cu. ft. on the 27-inch models and 7.8 cu. ft. on the 28-inch models.
Steam, sanitize and smart features
The PTD70EBPTDG, PFD87ESPVRS and PFD87ESSVWW include steam. All five list a sanitize cycle and are listed as smart models.
The PTD70EBPTDG also lists Washer Link. Check the product page for compatible washers.
Plan the laundry space
Measure the space, then add room for the vent and door swing. The 28-inch models are wider and deeper than the 27-inch models, so compare them with the washer beside them.
- Confirm the electric outlet or gas line.
- Plan the vent route and length.
- Check door swing and whether it is reversible.
- Match widths with the washer.
