Gas or electric dryer - what do you prefer and why
I recently purchased a house in Texas near my son. I have an option to get either a gas or electric clothes dryer - as I have always had an electric dryer, I don't know the difference - I hear gas dryers are more efficient and dry faster, though they are more expensive to purchase. What is your experience?

The newer front loading electric dryers are more energy friendly. Mine is it could say 41 minutes to dry a load and finish after 20 minutes when everything is dry. My front loading washer has "senses" the dirt and weight of a load and times it accordingly on how much time and water the cycle needs.

if they have electric ignition they still won't work. Except for a stove - you can light the burner with a match

I've only had gas so can't compare, however, when I move there is no gas unless I install propane tank. We are building the house with futures for propane but, initially, I'll be an all electric house. Not sure how well I'll do on an electric stove top....learning curve...
