Based on my research, one would have no problem finding such appliances that use a plug for 220 or near 220 voltage.

For my Quito condo, I purchased a dishwasher that requires the
higher voltage.

However, after聽 moving into the new condo, I never bought a
clothes washer or dryer.

The reason:聽 there's a fluff-n-fold laundry about a block from the
Oriente street entrance to the condo.聽 I simply drop off laundry
that needs to be cleaned or sewn (buttons, simple alterations,
repairs) and pick it up a day or two later.聽

It's inexpensive and easy .. if you have a lavander铆a nearby.

220v available in most houses.

Thank you for your response... My concern was due to my wanting to sell a compact stack whirlpool unit that we brought for our guest suite that never gets used! We have standard sized in our main house and when renovating we upgraded our electrical system but I was afraid I may have trouble selling. Long story short (too late ) I sold it yesterday!!! Now I have more storage space! 馃榿

i recently bought an electric dryer because in my opinion there is more hassle. with a gas dryer. No doubt the cost of gas will be cheaper than electricity for drying. But remember the gas boiler will be overworked (perhaps more service charges for the boiler?), and lots of water going through the boiler will be used to dry the clothes. Also, the hassle of replacing empty gas cylinders will be greater. The cost of buying a new dryer in Ecuador is similar for gas or electric (about $500).

Over time one hears more about gas explosions than electricity-started
explosions.

If I were in the market for a dryer (I use a fluff-n-fold on Calle Benalcazar for
clothes washing and drying by the proprietor,} I would opt for electric, for this
safety reason.

Just checking that you have 220v in your house. We are building a house without it in the countryside because it was $2000 for a transformer. We hang out our clothes, so don't care.

My condo has a 220V connection for a clothes dryer, which I don't have, or for a dishwasher, which I use it for.

The other outlets are all 110V.

The unit came this way, when I moved in as the first-ever occupant in 2013.
