I’ve had a front-loading washer (Frigidaire) for over 10 years and wouldn’t go back to a top-loader. It spins so fast that the clothes are nearly dry. I have also had a gas dryer for the same amount of time and it works fine. It costs a lot less than the equivalent electric dryer to run, but usually costs $50-100 more to buy.
I sure wish we had gas in our neighborhood. Years ago I had a gas dryer and gas stove. I miss that!
