Yes, a gas dryer is better than an electric dryer. A gas dryer becomes much hotter so therefore your clothes dry faster. Also natural gas as piped to homes costs less per kilowatt-hour than the equivalent amount of household electrical power.

However the initial purchase cost of a gas dryer is much more than an electric dryer and the installation costs cost ofa gas dryer can be much higher too because it needs a piped gas supply as well as electricity.

Gas Dyers are cheaper to operate but they are not cheap to buy. If you live in an apartment you should buy an electric dryer, but if you live in a house you should buy a gas dryer.
