I do not live in Fenny. Gas service was not an option where we live so obviously we have an electric dryer and it is 220v. I think you can find 120v dryers but they will be small and less efficient. Used in homes with modest electrical service.
I would wonder it your home has a gas connection would you could you get a gas hot water heater. I know a gas hotwater heater is faster to recover and I expect less expensive to run. I also prefer, MISS, a gas stove which can produce more heat and instant response.
MY VIEW-it is far easier to do things slowly and avoid mistakes than to try to get out of mistakes. RE: Dryer
in our previous home we had a front loading dryer. They are easier to load and more energy efficient. It was old and we did not take it with us. BUT, here in our laundry section
having put shelves in there, there is no way a front loader would work.

I was referring the specific home I purchased. The rep said the home is set up to use gas or electric for either or both the stove and the dryer. I'm good with the gas stove but the wife doesn't care for a gas dryer. In reality, the home is prep'd for either at the dryer but either some plumbing work for gas or electrical work for an electric dryer will be required. That last part they left out. I don't hold that against because there are just some things that depend on who built a particular house. So they may not know from one to the next whether it's already wired for electric dryers or not. And I've heard that some homes include the keypad remotes for the garage openers but then you may find a very similarly built version of the same model that doesn't include them.
Fenney has the option for gas. The designer homes, at least, appear to all have gas stoves installed and tankless gas water heaters. But they don't include washers and dryers, so apparently, at least with some homes, there is still some work to be done to accommodate whichever option you choose - gas or electric.
