Tumble dryers in Canada: what they cost and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

A standard electric tumble dryer of about 7 cu ft costs roughly CA$450 to CA$1,000 in Canada, compact models of 1.5 to 4 cu ft start from about CA$285, and heat-pump models run above CA$2,400. For the capacity and model you need in your city, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice, and registered sellers reply with their offers.

Canadian energy rules and warranties

Canada's current minimum energy performance standards for clothes dryers apply only to electric models, so gas dryers are not covered by them. Warranties differ by brand: LG's standard warranty covers one year for parts and labour, and the drum for three years (parts only), while Electrolux asks you to register the product within 60 days of purchase. Ask the seller which warranty applies to the model you choose.

Winter and where to put the dryer

Winter runs from December to February, and in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary many households dry clothes indoors in those months, so think about where the moist air goes. A ventless compact model, such as a 4 cu ft unit, suits a home without an outside vent. November is a good time to order before the coldest weather.

How capacity and prices are quoted

Capacity is listed in cubic feet and sometimes in pounds: a 13.2 lb load is about 6 kg. Put the capacity in kg in your request, as well as in cubic feet. Prices are per unit, shown in CA$. Delivery and connection to Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa are agreed separately, so give your city.

What to write in your request

State the load capacity in kg, the drying type (vented, ventless or heat-pump), the space in cm (width, depth and height), the features you want, the make and model if you have one, whether the dryer should be new or used, and whether you need delivery and connection. Add your city and your budget in CA$.
