I have had both. Generally speaking for me in my state it seems gas wins over electric. Not counting the dollar amount but since time is a factor when compiling informations and numbers. Gas dryers dry a load of 12 towels way faster than electric. I had an electric. It kicked the bucket some time ago. Dad had a great electric. So when I found a great Kenmore dryer and washer for that matter in the paper used for 200.00 I jumped on it. It was an older model wood grain that had whirpoolcodes on it. I knew that my electric was the same model and had way bunches of dryer drying days under it's belt. But I wondered if the gas dryer would dry at the same rate as an electric. So to calm my wondering mind I set off to dads to dry a load of towels. (reminding it does cost to do this but doesn't everything. Placed twelve just washed towels into his dryer. Knowing timers do not fair 100% exact I set a stove timer...........
Then after they were dry I re-washed them and did the same with my gas dryer.........
The gas one won hands down! LOL it took a whooping twenty two minute YES! Twenty two minutes extra in the electric vs the gas dryer. So even if gas is more costly you have to figure in the time factor. I went with gas.......
Also teehhheee have a back up washer if mine gones out!
