Heat pump dryers missing from store shelves frustrates shopper

Original: # heatpump dryer shopping, was at Home Despot and ran into a chatty appliance salesman. Zero HP dryers in stock besides

A California shopper hunting for a heat pump clothes dryer says a major home improvement store had none in stock apart from combo washer-dryer units.

Why now: Rising energy costs and interest in efficient appliances are driving discussion about slow heat pump dryer adoption.
