3rd heat pump clothes dryer option: Bosch WQB245B0UC

Pros:

- Refrigerant is R-290 / Propane, which has a low GWP. In the past I saw R290 listed as 3.3 GWP, but Wikipedia now cites an IPCC document for GWP 0.072 over 20 years, which is shockingly low: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane_refrigeration

Cons:

- Can't find reviews
- 240V
- small capacity, 4.0 Cu Ft

1st heat pump clothes dryer contender: the Whirlpool WHD560CHW.

Pros:

- 7.4 cu. ft. capacity, most heat pump dryers are smaller around 4 ft^3
- My parents bought one on my recommendation and like it

Cons:

- 240V
- I can't find what refrigerant it uses, so it's probably awful
