Their gas and electric dryers are no exception. You might already be sold on getting a great Electrolux front load washer, but what about their dryers? We'll dig into what Electrolux has to offer - and you can check out our dryer buyer's guide for more info on dryers in general as well!

What Do All Electrolux Dryers Come With?
What comes standard on Electrolux dryers? As of this writing, there are four tiers of Electrolux dryers to match their washer lineup: the 337, 437, 537, and 637 models. Here's the full feature breakdown:
-
LuxCare Dry System: Electrolux's advanced sensor drying system has a precise sensor that detects humidity within the drum rather than relying on fabric touching the sensor to determine how dry the load is. Plus the LuxCare Lint Shield makes it easy to clean the lint trap without shedding lint on clothes in the drum or nearby. They're all Energy Star rated as well.
-
Platinum Star Limited Warranty: The Platinum Star warranty exclusively from Electrolux provides three years of coverage on parts and one year on labor.
-
Reversible Doors, 27" Platforms, 4-Way Venting: Their full size dryers offer 8.0 cubic feet of capacity in a standard 27" width. The dryer door is reversible to suit any installation configuration. Four-way venting is possible through the single rear cutout. By using a 90-degree quick turn elbow, the dryer won't require additional installation depth for venting to the side. Gas dryers cannot be vented to the right due to the location of the burner housing and gas line.
-
Fast Dry Option: Electrolux's Fast Dry option for small loads starts at 20 minutes long in the 337 models and decreases from there.
-
Luxury-Quiet Sound System: No matter where your laundry room is located, you can run your Electrolux washer and dryer without disturbing the peace.
-
Energy Star Rating: All the dryers in this lineup offer both high-quality and energy-efficient performance.
-
Eco-friendly Normal Cycle: The Normal cycle of these Electrolux dryers are eco-friendly. If you need the Dry Boost option, you can add it in your cycle.
-
Extended Tumble Option: All new-for-2021 models now have the Extended Tumble option. It helps prevent wrinkles from setting in if you can't get to your dryer right when the cycle finishes, and it’s now included even in the 337 dryer.
-
Control panel with high contrast and bright lights: Electrolux also updated the control panels in 2021. The contrast on the panels is enhanced, and the LED lights are brighter. This adds to aesthetic appeal and allows for easy checking of the active cycles and time left!

The Fast Dry cycle of the old version of this model operates for about 20 minutes, but this 2021 version now comes with an 18-minute Fast Dry cycle!

3. The Mid-Tier Model - Electrolux ELFE7537AW - $1,149
Available in white at $1,149 or titanium at $1,249 in electric and for $100 more in gas, the Electrolux ELFE7537A dryer model has a very cool feature that you won't find anywhere else: Predictive Dry. Most sensor dryers can't really tell you exactly when a cycle will end - You might end up checking it several times only to find that it's still running! With Predictive Dry, this dryer tests the contents of the load for 90 seconds in order to give you a much more accurate prediction for how long the cycle will take.
On top of that, the Fast Dry cycle is now just 15 minutes! This dryer comes with an Allergen cycle to help strip allergens out of your clothes and other fabrics, too. Concerned about your expensive activewear items? The Activewear cycle in this dryer would work best for delicate washing.
