Generally, gas dryers have not significantly increased in size over the past 30 years. The standard dimensions of gas dryers have remained relatively consistent to accommodate the typical laundry room setup and standard door sizes.
A standard gas dryer typically measures around 27 inches in width and 36 inches in height. The depth can vary depending on the model and features, but it usually falls within the range of 28 to 34 inches. These dimensions have been standard for many years and continue to be the most common sizes available in the market.
It's worth noting that there are compact or apartment-sized gas dryers designed for smaller spaces, which may have slightly different dimensions to fit into tight laundry areas. However, these compact models have been available for several decades and aren't a recent development.
While gas dryers may have seen some advancements in terms of features, energy efficiency, and technology over the years, their overall dimensions have not experienced significant changes in comparison to 30 years ago.
