  1. 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: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane_

    Cons:

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