A:Answer In my experience, the main differences between the two are: Gas dryers will dry more quickly than electric, the cost of using a gas dryer could be slightly cheaper throughout a month if used a at least 4 or so times, and a gas dryer is generally $100 or so more expensive than an electric. If given the option I would use gas throughout my house as i feel it is more efficient in all ways than electric (ie: cooking). Do not hesitate choosing the electric option as it still works wonders.
