As you are aware the codes for residential dryers have changed.  Prior to the code change we had brought over a large sum  of Little Giant dryers from our factory to hold us over until we could have a solution developed.  We did not anticipate as much of a demand as there has been since the residential dryer stopped being manufactured.

We no longer have any white or stainless Little Giant dryers left.

The factory is working on 2 solutions for us which we should receive by this fall.

The first solution is a commercial approved vented dryer.  This dryer would ONLY be suitable for commercial use ( day spas, veterinary clinics, B&B’s, etc..).  The commercial use dryer cannot be sold into homes as it will not meet residential approvals.

The other solution they are working on for us is a condenser dryer.   This model will be able to be sold both commercially and residentially.

I will keep you updated as more information becomes available on the commercial vented unit and the condenser unit.  Let me know if you have any questions and please pass this information along to your sales team!

Hello Everyone,

We have been asking around for input on this and we’d like to thank you for your input on “slate” finish. We have invested in the powder coat and its now available to order.

Slate has been a good seller for GE and they currently do not have a hood to match. Its also been brought to my attention the slate works very well with stainless. Try the slate finish on the hood and the lip in stainless steel.

The new slate will be priced as a Standard paint.

Slate samples will be mailed to us at Distinctive Appliances this week, so please send in your requests for samples to me so I can get them out.

Good Selling!
