They work well and just make a lot of sense. However, I think they tend to be more expensive than electric clothes dryers.
They were cheaper back in the day, but they're much more dangerous.
Negative. I bought a new gas dryer ~8 years ago and did plenty of research at the time. Electric dryers are FAR more likely to cause a fire.
Your research must have changed, as did mine. They're equally likely to cause a fire, but with gas you have the additional concern of carbon monoxide and gas leaks.
