Kenmore Elite Oasis ST 68092 Electric Dryer

April 2009. The Kenmore Elite Oasis ST 68092 Electric Dryer is less expensive than most steam dryers, and it performs very well in professional tests. Owners seem equally pleased with this dryer, which has an array of extra features, including a heated drying rack, electronic controls, sound dampening, a drum light and an extra-large blower to improve airflow. It also has an exceptionally large 7.6-cubic-foot capacity for large loads and bulky items. The steam mode reduces wrinkles or freshens clothes that have already been washed. There is a viewing window, but owners say it's hard to see inside because the drum light is blocked by tumbling clothes. If you have a gas hookup in your laundry room, the Kenmore Elite Oasis ST 78092 Gas Dryer (*est. $1,180) should be less expensive to operate. Don't need a steam-drying feature? The LG DLE2516W Electric Dryer (*est. $725) is highly rated and less expensive, but skips the steam.

We found the best review for the Kenmore Elite Oasis ST 68092 Electric Dryer at Good Housekeeping magazine, which recently posted a roundup of steam washers and dryers.
