Like the priorities 😉 Not sure if it has been discussed, but get a natural gas unit. Cheaper to run.
We ‘had’ to have one of the now older feature rich units ( maytag ) and the only function that is ever used is the auto sense dry mode. Works fine and is used daily!
On a different note, be sure to keep the outside vent pipe clean of lint. Fire hazard.
