A:AnswerWe were using gas (standard size) before purchasing this one (We moved recently). The only difference we've noticed is the electric dryer doesn't get quite as hot as the gas, which can lead to longer drying times. Other than that its a great dryer. As far as expenses - barely even notice it on the electric bill at the end of the month. We have both the washer and dryer btw.
A:AnswerIt can accept a 3 or 4 prong cord. You purchase the one you need to match your outlet. I've you are removing an old dryer you can use the cord from that one
A:AnswerI agree that the 17" clearance does not make sense...because it only requires 6" clearance when you stack them together, and the washer would be on the bottom. I would have to read the owner's manual more fully in order to find a reasonable explanation...
