I did a little research and these two seem to be the best.
The motor went bad on my current dryer, GE, and would cost too much to repair.

Whirlpool stay away from Maytag they break down fast and it cost you lots more to buy it and to fix it.

Hi, Defiantly get one with a dry sensor, it keeps you from over drying you clothes. I've owned both brands through the years, haven't encountered any really un-expected flaws, that appeared from normal wear & tear. But I'd like to suggest looking at other brands also, for features, cost, sizes, and warranties. Most people don't realize that every so many years, that all your name brand companies "contract" to the few actual manufacturers for their product. As an example, Kenmore, a Sears product could actually be made by Whirlpool, for a few years. Then, it could be actually made by Fridgiaire. Then, it can be that just certain models offered in a product line, like Sears- Kenmore, could still be made by someone else. Some name brand "Label", can also change even during production after a pre-set amount on the production line of one manufacturer. 200 Kenmore, after that the companiy will put on a "Whirlpool" label, 300 later, a Maytag. Just depends on who is the actual producer, and what contracts they have. Check out the satisfaction of people who have bought certain products/model #'s, go with what you own needs and ablity allows. Hope this helps, and good luck, Dave

As a Tech, I prefer Whirlpool, Much easier to work on, Why get a new dryer, unless the motor is burned up. Most heating elements and parts are pretty cheap

They aren't the only two, how about Bosch and LG? For all I know they might be part of Whirlpool's giant mega-corporation.
I have a Whirlpool, have had it for 15 years and am pleased.
