Our dryer died today. We need a new one ASAP. I am trying to decide if we should buy a new one or get one used. I looked quickly on Craigslist and fb and saw some used ones for $150-200. But then there's the uncertainty of buying from a stranger! When I can get a new one for $400-500 for a basic model. But I just know if we're buying a new one we won't buy a basic one. We will buy a highly rated, efficient gas dryer that will last us for ages. We've lived together for 13 years and have always had/bought used dryers!

Which dryer do you have? Do you love it? Was it worth it? Ugh I hate buying major appliances on the fly!!!
