We've had an electric dryer here for over 20 years and it still works great. It provides all the heat that's need to dry clothes in a reasonably fast amount of time. In fact, we seldom dry clothes on the hottest settings because that's bad for MANY of today's fabrics.
Electric is clean and presents no danger of gas fumes or possible gas leaks. Electric dryers are also lighter and simpler in their function. There is no thermocouple needed in an electric dryer which is often something that goes bad in a gas dryer. And, of course, there are no gas burners to go bad in an electric dryer.
And finally, electric rates are cheaper here than in most other parts of the country. Our all-electric home is very inexpensive to heat and cool with our heat pump, and the electric appliances are also clean and inexpensive to operate. If I were offered the opportunity to switch all my appliances and heating/cooling system to gas at no cost, my reply would be "No thanks. I'm happy with what I've got."
