You can buy a dryer that is less than 32 inches deep. My dryer is only 26 inches deep. The cutout in the wall is standard, and would not account for the 5 inches of rear space needed to install the vent. It would be almost impossible to install a dryer with less than about 5 inches in the rear. Also, the electric plug will use 2 inches. I would shop around for a dryer with approximately 26 inches of depth or slightly more.
