Shop High-Quality Dryers in the Fox Valley
Find the best dryers designed to keep your clothes fresh and your energy bills low. At Van Vreede’s, we offer a range of top-performing dryers equipped with modern technology and precise drying cycles. We offer electric, gas, or combination units, so you’ll find the perfect fit for your laundry day needs.
Shop Dryers by Type
The first choice is fuel type, and your laundry room usually makes it for you. Gas dryers connect to a natural-gas or propane line, heat up faster, and cost less per load to run. Electric dryers plug into a dedicated 240-volt outlet, so they can be installed almost anywhere a gas line does not reach. If you’re not sure which hookup you have, snap a photo, and a specialist in Appleton, Green Bay, or Oshkosh can tell you in a minute.
Types of Electric Dryers
If your laundry room has a 240-volt outlet, an electric dryer drops right in, no gas line required. That easy install makes electric the most popular choice, and Van Vreede's stocks a wide range, from stackable front-loaders to roomy top-load models. Looking for an electric dryer for sale near you? They are in stock at our three Wisconsin stores.
- Front-Load Electric Dryers: Front-load electric dryers offer energy efficiency and stackable designs, perfect for maximizing space in your laundry room. Advanced moisture-sensing technology gives you even drying results and gentle care for all your fabrics.
- Top-Load Electric Dryers: Enjoy large drum capacities and convenient top-loading access. Top-load electric dryers deliver powerful drying performance, perfect for bulky items and family-sized loads.
Types of Gas Dryers
Van Vreede's has you covered with a selection of gas dryers built for faster drying times, energy-saving performance, and precision heat control. Browse gas dryers for sale, including current deals, at any of our three Wisconsin stores.
- Front-Load Gas Dryers: Those who have a gas hookup in their laundry room can benefit from faster drying times and energy-saving performance. Front-load gas dryers offer precision heat control, making them ideal for heavy-duty loads and everyday laundry.
Portable Dryers
Renters and small-space households have a plug-and-go option: A portable dryer runs on a standard 120-volt outlet and rolls where you need it, with many models requiring no dedicated 240V hookup or external venting. These compact units fit apartments, dorms, and condos around Appleton, Green Bay, and Oshkosh, where a full-size dryer will not. They handle smaller loads, so they work well as a second dryer or for quick touch-ups between trips to a shared laundry room.
Best Dryer Features for Wisconsin Families
The right features save time and money load after load, and a few earn their keep through long Wisconsin winters when the dryer runs nonstop. Past fuel type and capacity, these are the upgrades worth paying for:
- Sensor Drying: Reads moisture in the drum and shuts off when clothes are dry, saving energy and preventing over-drying.
- Steam Cycles: Refresh and de-wrinkle clothes between washes, handy for work shirts and packed-away winter gear.
- Large Capacity: Drums from 7.0 to 7.5 cubic feet handle bulky bedding and family-sized loads in fewer cycles.
- Stackable Design: Pairs with a front-load washer to free up floor space in tight laundry rooms.
- Energy Star Certification: Uses less electricity or gas, which adds up over the years on a Wisconsin utility bill.
- WiFi Connectivity: Start, stop, and monitor cycles from your phone, with an alert when the load is done.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dryers
Are gas or electric dryers better?
Neither is universally better; it depends on your hookups and habits. Gas dryers heat faster and cost less per load, so they suit households that dry a lot of laundry, but they need a gas line and a vent. Electric dryers can be installed almost anywhere with a 240-volt outlet and cost a little more per load. If your laundry room already has a gas line, a gas dryer is usually the more economical long-term choice.
Do I need a special outlet or hookup for a dryer?
Yes. An electric dryer requires a dedicated 240-volt outlet, and a gas dryer requires a natural-gas or propane line plus a standard 120-volt plug for the controls. Both types also need a vent to the outside. Van Vreede's installers confirm your hookups and venting during delivery, so you are not left guessing.
What size dryer do I need?
Match the dryer capacity to your washer; generally, a dryer drum is about twice the washer's tub size, so a full wash load has room to tumble dry. Standard dryers run 7.0 to 7.5 cubic feet, while compact 24-inch models hold less and suit apartments and small laundry closets. Our specialists in Appleton, Green Bay, and Oshkosh can help you pair a washer and dryer that fits your space.
Are there compact dryers for apartments?
Yes. Compact 24-inch dryers are made for apartments, condos, and tight laundry closets, and many stack on top of a matching compact washer. Van Vreede's carries a selection of compact models to fit small spaces.
Where can I find current deals or discounts on clothes dryers in Wisconsin?
